We here in the market in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, we began to have to buy bamboo leaves, we commonly used bamboo leaves to wrap the brown. Choose the surface smooth, soft and tough better. The leaves should be soaked in water after purchase, and boiled in water first to soften them and make them more resilient, so that they won't break easily when wrapping the palm.

If you don't have fresh ones, dried leaves are fine, but the flavor will fade. This year my mom is using prepare dry bamboo leaves in advance, put the dry bamboo leaves in warm water to soak, use a brush to brush both sides of the leaves, and then pass through cool water, wash it repeatedly. Keep it in the water until you want to use it, then take it out, flatten it out, and let it dry a little.

2. "Brown rope" preparation:

Tie brown rope is a long strip of leaves torn into thin strips, soaked in warm water to soften the toughness is better, in the tie will not break, if the technology is not very good people, you can also choose to use white cotton rope. In order to distinguish between the different fillings of the brown, you can prepare a variety of colors of rope.

3. "Brown rice" preparation:

Wash the glutinous rice, to first soak in cold water for a few hours or more, but my glutinous rice did not soak, Steps:

1. Take two rice dumplings leaves, wipe dry, overlap the palm of your hand.

2. Rotate the leaves and fold them into a cone at l/3.

3. Put the stuffing into the cone and press it down with your hands or a spoon.

4. Fold back the extra palm leaves at the top to cover the filling, pinch out the sharp corners with your hands, and then wrap the filling with the end of the palm leaves without leaving any gaps.

5. Use the rope to tightly bind each corner of the brown, in fact, tie the brown this many people will not, I can not tie, so I will be in the brown "waist" at the tight knot. (This step is very important, if the bundle is not strong enough, in the process of cooking the palm leaves will have the possibility of loosening, the flavor is not good, so it will be a waste of effort).

Cooking brown

1. wrapped brown will have to wait patiently, because the brown is very difficult to cook, you can use the pressure cooker to cook more time-saving, energy-saving. 2. when the steam began to come out of the pressure cooker pressure valve cover, and then turn to medium heat to cook for 30 minutes, and then turn off the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, and finally will be the pressure valve to remove the pot of steam can be fully discharged. If you use a regular saucepan to cook, you still need to cook for more than 2 hours after the water boils.

Brown is made of glutinous rice, so the elderly and small children do not eat too much, the stomach and intestines can not be digested.
