- After the Dragon Boat Festival, I still craved zongzi, so I bought some and made my own. The zongzi leaves softened after soaking in water, but I felt they weren't easy to shape. It might also be because when wrapping the red bean paste zongzi, the bean paste tends to deform along with the leaves. Later, I tried a few unsoaked zongzi leaves, and they worked fine and held their shape more easily.
- Homemade zong ji
- I used half a bag to wrap 35 dumplings. The latter is cooked. The latter is cooked in a high-speed cooker for 15 minutes. So I often store the leaves and can wrap them anytime. This time, my son came back from Canada and found his favorite food. Thank you weee
- It is good for making rice dumplings. A large portion.
- Very clean, the leaves are evenly sized and have a rich aroma!
- I have used Heshi brand palm leaves and they are good. Stock up when they are on sale.
- After the Dragon Boat Festival, take advantage of the discount on this Heshi brand rice dumplings and stock up on a pack. The rice dumpling leaves have a very fragrant aroma.
- The leaves I bought for the Dragon Boat Festival last time were barely usable. There were two of them, one large and one small. But this time, both leaves were short and thin, and I needed four to barely wrap one zongzi! Maybe I was unlucky and got a pack of defective ones! There were also many cracked and broken ones.
- Looks great
