1, If you want to deal with the leaves bought from outside, you should first soak them in clear water for a day. At this time, if the leaves are already soft, you can cut off the stems at both ends with scissors. If they are not soft enough, you can cut them last.

2. After the leaves are soaked, we need to boil them in salt water for five to ten minutes. Doing so can soften the leaves of zongzi, which makes it easier to operate, and at the same time, it can make the leaves of zongzi more resilient, which is not easy to be damaged when wrapping zongzi and cooking, and there is still a fresh fragrance after cooking.

3. Finally, remove the leaves from the hot water, let them cool, and then put them in water for cleaning. At this time, the zongzi leaves are soft and easy to bend. We can wrap the glutinous rice with it according to our favorite method, then wrap it with cotton rope and cook it in hot water.
