Growing up in the city, the past kind of Dragon Boat Festival way almost disappeared, but into another ritual Dragon Boat Festival, that is, eating rice dumplings over the Dragon Boat Festival. My family initially eat rice dumplings at the Dragon Boat Festival also rely on buying, and then I thought, the Dragon Boat Festival is to eat rice dumplings? Ceremony is of course also very important ah, so, now in order to respond to the child, but also for the child to leave a deep impression of the Dragon Boat Festival, began to learn to pack rice dumplings. In recent years, the annual package, glutinous rice and red date rice dumplings and glutinous rice salted duck egg yolk rice dumplings, the first kind of soft and sweet, jujube aroma, the latter kind of sticky salty, fragrant and elegant non-greasy.

So, the Dragon Boat Festival package zongzi, package before the use of zongzi leaves to boil a little?

The answer is no need to cook, as long as the zongzi leaves in advance with warm water soak to soft, packages can not be broken on the zongzi leaves soaked soft and then washed can be used.

01 Potato and red dates dumplings

Ingredients: 15 jujubes, 1.5 pounds of round glutinous rice, sweet potato 1 (about 200 grams), a number of rice dumpling leaves

Instructions: 1.5 pounds of glutinous rice and then add the dates and purple potatoes, about the packet ten medium-sized rice dumplings, just enough for three people to eat, glutinous rice, I like round, round glutinous rice, glutinous rice, more glutinous, the texture is also good; I chose dates is a small kernel, more meat and taste pure. I chose the red dates are small nucleus, meat taste pure; purple potatoes are rich in dietary fiber and purple anthocyanin, on the beauty of female friends is very good.

02 production process:

1, do dumplings generally have to soak the glutinous rice in advance, I usually wash the glutinous rice the day before, pouring into the water did not exceed the glutinous rice began to soak, put aside, don't care, the next day, the glutinous rice is sure to soak to absorb the full of water, expand to the maximum.

The rice dumplings are wrapped every year, each package, rather than leftover rice dumpling leaves can not be leftover rice, so the rice dumpling leaves will often buy more. Dry rice dumpling leaves also with glutinous rice a time in advance to soak on, only soak soft enough to wrap the time with ease, will not break, crack.

2, next began to prepare the ingredients, the red dates with a small brush, one by one, clean, cut with a knife, remove the kernel of the date, the pulp first cut into long strips, and then horizontally cut into pieces, so that the size of the cut is more uniform.

3, dealing with purple potatoes, I am the purple potatoes chopped and glutinous rice mixed together. First cut off the purple potatoes on both ends of the relatively dry tip, and then use the peeler to peel off the skin, in order to ensure that the size of the cut into the purple potatoes and glutinous rice as close as possible, first sliced the purple potatoes, the slice should be cut a little thinner, cut the slices, and then cut into long strips, long strips, and try to cut thin enough to cut the last and then cut the knife crosswise into a small crushed particles, but also to try to minimize the distance between the knife, so that you can cut the crushed enough.

4, the soaked glutinous rice basin excess water filtered out, try to control the cleaner, otherwise the water will take up more space in the rice, the process of wrapping the rice package is not much; processed glutinous rice and purple potatoes together into the glutinous rice, stirred with a spoon and standby.

5, soak the soft rice dumpling leaves, rinse the surface with water to ensure cleanliness and hygiene, pick up a rice dumpling leaves, folded into a closed funnel, scoop two spoons of stirred glutinous rice poured into the closed funnel, pressed with the thumb, and then the remaining part of the rice dumpling leaves folded over, and finally tied with a thin line can be.

6, all done, set into the pressure cooker, add water did not exceed the dumplings, water must be added enough, because the next cooking time is longer, so as not to burn dry pot.

I use an ordinary pressure cooker, high heat boil, medium heat steam 1 hour off the fire, if it is an ordinary cooking pot, we have to consider the time as appropriate.

03Tips:

If you choose dry rice dumpling leaves, be sure to soak them thoroughly so that they are completely softened, otherwise the process of wrapping rice dumpling leaves are prone to cracking and breaking. Purple potatoes and jujubes try to cut some broken, so as not to take up space, rice can be wrapped in more. The best way to make dumplings is to choose round-grain glutinous rice, which has a good texture and tastes more glutinous.
