Reed leaves: Boil in boiling water for 3 minutes, take out and soak in cold water for 10 minutes, so that the treated reed leaves are clean, soft and tough.

Hello, I am Huihui.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming.
Today we will learn how to wrap the cordless rice dumplings.
The reeds from last year began to sway again.
I collected some fresh reed leaves,
Cut off the heads of the reed leaves,
boiled them in boiling water for about 3 minutes
then soaked them in cold water for ten minutes.
The reed leaves treated in this way are clean, soft and resilient.
Take two leaves and overlap the tails,
overlap 1/2 part of the wide ends
fold it into a funnel shape
and then hold the funnel with your left hand.
I prepared this red dates with white/black glutinous rice.
The ratio of white/black glutinous rice is 2:1.
Add white glutinous rice to make the Zongzi more sticky.
pressing the glutinous rice with a spoon,
hold the funnel with your left hand
and fold the leaves on top with your right hand.
press with the left thumb to fix the leaf in the middle,
straighten the leaf at the tail,
lift the back finger,
turn the leave around the funnel。
Then use the back fingers to press the leaf to fix it,
then lift the leaf, cover the small hole forward,
and continue to move forward.
Don't worry about the tail of the reed leaf being too thin.
Push it all the way to the top in this direction,
pinch off the extra tail
Take the third reed leaf and place it under top sharp corner
lift the leaf up in the same direction
keep the left thumb on the bottom
pull the leaf with the right hand
and turn it around top sharp point from the front left.
push forward in the direction perpendicular to the bottom leaf
squeeze the zongzi with your left hand
leave some space for the sharp corners from the back with your index finger,
gently insert the tail of the reed leaf into the zongzi leaf
and pierce it from the top sharp corner.
The index finger tightens the top sharp corner
the right hand lifts the sharp corner
and the tail of the middle lobe is tightened.
A beautiful zongzi is wrapped
without rope or needles.
The Zongzi is not loose, and the rice is not leaking
Beautiful and delicious.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming
pick some fresh reed leaves and make it at home.
thanks for watching, see you next time
