The Dragon Boat Festival will be here in a few days. We all know that Chinese people have the custom of eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. Of course, many people may not make rice dumplings and just buy them outside. During the holidays, many hard-working people still like to be at home, especially elderly friends. They like to make some delicious food at home, and like some female friends, they also like to cook some delicious food at home during their breaks. This not only enhances their taste experience and be able to enjoy the joy of doing it.

Of course, generally when we make rice dumplings, we naturally choose day and night. If we can’t find natural rice dumpling leaves, we can directly buy them online, which is also very convenient, and go to the supermarket before and after the Dragon Boat Festival. They also sell day and night ones, but what I share with you today is not rice dumpling leaves for making rice dumplings, but another ingredient. The rice dumplings made this way have a unique flavor. So what are they?

Actually, the ingredient I introduced to you today is corn husks. When I mentioned using corn husks to make rice dumplings, many people might sneer at it. Don’t worry, let’s take a look.

First we need to rinse the corn husks in clean water, then we cut off both ends of the corn husks and process them, then put them in the steamer. This can make the corn husks softer and easier to use. , and it can also have a sterilizing effect. Although after this treatment, the corn husks feel very thin and a little soft. We can use three layers, just like using rice dumpling leaves to make rice dumplings.

After steaming the corn husks, take it out and let it cool slightly. Add the glutinous rice and candied dates we prepared. Wrap it as you normally would for making rice dumplings. Then use a rope to wrap the rice dumplings and put them in. Cooked on the side of the pot.

During the cooking process, we will smell a faint fragrance of corn. When the rice dumplings are cooked, taste them. In addition to the fragrance of glutinous rice, there is also a faint fragrance of corn. It tastes great. It really has a unique flavor.

So this year we might as well choose to use corn husks to make rice dumplings, so that you can experience a different deliciousness.
