Eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival is another traditional custom of the China people. It has many varieties.
Those who like sweets include red dates, nuts, and bean paste rice dumplings; those who like salty taste include ham and egg yolk rice dumplings. There are diverse tastes and different packaging methods.
In general, rice dumplings are high-calorie foods. For your own health considerations, when making rice dumplings, appropriately select materials with less sugar, less oil and more fiber without affecting the taste.
Every year, rice dumplings are made, and the family has many flavors. Except for my son who likes beef rice dumplings, most rice dumplings will mix coarse grains or other sticky and small ordinary rice into glutinous rice. In this way, family members can not only taste seasonal food, but also ensure a healthy diet and balance dietary fiber.
Boil the wrapped rice dumplings in one go, let them cool, and place them in the refrigerator for refrigeration. Or soak it directly in cold water and take it as you eat (provided that the stomach can withstand it enough). Zongzi soaked in cold water, peeled straight and eaten, is chewy and more delicious than freshly cooked hot rice dumplings.
