One day I picked up Doudou, and there was a seller in the market who sold Hotan dates. I heard before that these Hotan dates were very big and expensive. When I saw it this time, it was really twice as big as our usual dates. I picked a medium-sized one for a catty. The price of 20 yuan was much cheaper than last year's price. There were two medium-sized dried dates. The size of 1 yuan coins ~ I went home and washed two and tried them. It was really small, with a lot of meat and a thin skin. <br /><br />Hotan jujube is produced in Hotan Prefecture, Xinjiang.

In order to support the gourmand's activities, I only posted this post. This rice dumpling has been in the camera for a month. Because the process is cumbersome, I have been too lazy to organize it. Why is there only one post? It's because the company issued rice dumplings and they won't be making rice dumplings anymore during this period of time. This rice dumpling is called Little Foot Zongzi by Yangzhou people. It is very tight and does not easily leak rice. This filling is my favorite because it has only a slight salty taste and is more suitable for my light stomach. Do you like it?!

1. Zongzi leaves. Many leaves can be used to wrap rice dumplings, such as bamboo leaves, indocalamus leaves, reed leaves, banana leaves, and lotus leaves. There are fewer options in the north. Most of the leaves in our market are dried Indocalamus leaves. They can be used after buying them, boiling them or soaking them in water for a few hours. Occasionally, there are vacuum-packed fresh Indocalamus leaves, but because it is rumored that JS will use chemicals to rejuvenate the leaves, it is difficult for him to tell. What kind of ones you buy depends on luck. Another way is to buy fresh rice dumplings directly online. There was no choice. We couldn't produce it locally. <br />2. Glutinous rice. Both long-grained and round-grained glutinous rice can be used. If glutinous rice is the main ingredient or is all glutinous rice, add a small amount of japonica rice to avoid the cooked rice dumplings being too Q. Glutinous rice should be soaked one day in advance, but because the temperature is relatively high during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is best to store it in refrigeration when soaking to avoid the breeding of bacteria and deterioration. If you make eight-treasure rice dumplings, you should add beans and extend the soaking and cooking time. <br />3. Filling. If making meat dumplings, the meat must be marinated with seasonings in advance, one night in advance. The seasoning used during curing can finally mix the soaked glutinous rice. There is no final conclusion on the choice of fillings, and you can follow your taste.
