1 How to deal with the old leaves of dumplings? The solution is very simple. The leaves of dumplings should be treated in advance, and the leaves of dumplings should be boiled in boiling water first, so that the leaves of dumplings are tough and not easy to break.

Also, you can add a little edible alkali to boil the leaves, put cold water, alkali and zongzi leaves in the pot together, and cook them slowly until they are open, so that their fibers can stretch in hot water, enhance their flexibility and reduce the possibility of being cooked by fire.

2 How to deal with the leaves will not rot. First of all, you should pay attention to the leaves. The leaves of the dumplings are bamboo leaves. The purchased leaves should not be too large. The leaves should be kept green and lustrous. It is best to have a slight shine. That is the best. Cut off the front and rear ends of zongzi leaves.

Soak zongzi leaves in water 1 hour-2 hours or so, and only such leaves are the most suitable for wrapping zongzi. Soak for too long, the leaves are too wet and easy to break; The soaking time is too short, and the leaves are still full of momentum, and the leaves are brittle. When the force is too strong, the leaves will be destroyed and wasted.

3 How to cook zongzi leaves is still green. The first thing is to cook zongzi leaves. After boiling cold water, add zongzi leaves. When the water is boiled again, you can turn off the fire. Take out the zongzi leaves and put them in cold water for later use. Never cook zongzi leaves in cold water, and never let them cool in boiling water, otherwise they will turn yellow.

Then boiled zongzi. Put the wrapped zongzi in the pot first, and then boil a pot of water. After the water boils, pour it into the zongzi, and continue heating until the zongzi is cooked. The leaves of zongzi cooked in this way are not yellow, and they have the fragrance of zongzi leaves. Remember not to cook zongzi in cold water.
