Steps for Ideal rice dumplings

1

Steam red beans/mung beans respectively, mash them into paste, add appropriate amount of sugar and oil and mix well for later use.

2

Blanch the wolfberry with boiling water for later use.

3

Soak mushrooms in water and dice, soak shrimps to soften, and dice sausage/fried peanuts.

4

Cut the zongzi leaves into heart shapes and strips, and boil them for later use.

5

Add glutinous rice leaves to cook in an electric rice cooker.

6

Make the sweet ones first. Spoon a spoonful of glutinous rice on plastic wrap, wrap it into a round shape (about the size of a meatball), spread it out, and cover it with a layer of plastic wrap. Use a flat plate to press it into a round shape (just like vegetable dumpling skins), then place appropriate amount of egg yolk, yellow bean paste, and red bean paste in the middle, wrap it into a round shape like wrapping rice balls. Place a wolfberry on the front, then place the round shape into a heart-shaped border, press it into a heart shape, and place it on the heart-shaped rice dumplings. Cover the side wall/top with reed leaves and tighten it with straw rope. (The entire process is operated through plastic wrap, so your hands do not have to touch the ingredients)

7

The process of making salty and sweet dumplings is the same as that of sweet dumplings, except that the red/mung bean paste is replaced with mushrooms, sausage, peanuts, and dried shrimp, and after pressing it into a heart shape, apply a layer of red bean paste or mung bean paste on the bottom, so that it becomes salty and sweet.

8

Finally, string the heart-shaped rice dumplings with a straw rope. It can be frozen in the refrigerator, and when you want to eat, put it in the microwave and steam for 2-3 minutes.
