When it is used to wrap zongzi, sticky rice needs to be soaked in advance, and the sticky rice can only be wrapped after it is dispersed. Because the hardness of sticky rice is harder than ordinary white rice, it can only be soaked for at least 3 hours to make sticky rice absorb enough water and emit sticky bubbles.

The longer the glutinous rice is soaked, the higher the viscosity will be, and the taste of the cooked zongzi will be softer. The soaking time of glutinous rice can be determined according to the taste that one likes.

Precautions:

1, remember to put cold water when soaking glutinous rice, because hot water will take a shorter time to soak, but hot water will easily deteriorate glutinous rice and lead to sourness, which will seriously affect the taste of zongzi.

2. Wash the purchased glutinous rice with water first, and remove some bad impurities in the glutinous rice. Take out the soaked glutinous rice, drain the water, add a little cooking oil, and stir well for later use.
