Zong zi (sticky rice)



My grandma like making various rice food for holiday and festival. It can take whole day to prepare, make and cook them. In my childhood, I often stood beside to do some small assistent work, I often tasted the stuffing first. Cooking time is enjoyable family time.

The outside of Zongzi is the leaf of the plant called Zong, similiar to bamboo.
Inside of Zongzi is sticky rice, and can be mixed with red jujubes, adzuki beans, egg, pork.
Usually it's used as dessert, eaten wtih sugar or honey.
