Sweet Zongzi

When I was young, my Mom made Zongzi each year for Dragon Boat Festival. I never got change to learn from her, but the memory of reed leaves floating inside the wooden basin and the back of her sitting by the basin stay with me forever.

About 20 or 25 years ago, self-taught, I started to make Zongzi each year myself, and there is no exception for this year. 

Just made a few this morning, not very good looking but they are solid and should taste good :-).  

These are for my APAD friends: Thank you for your kindness and helping hands! 

(Oh, the fillings are very sweet, so watch your weight ;-)

• 那会不会被煮开？你也去买这个工具，输入“包粽子工具“，好几个选择呢。粽子叶的香味真是让粽子好香！ -妖妖灵- ♀ (0 bytes) () 06/09/2024 postreply 18:10:11

• 谢谢！我以为湖北人（楚国，屈原故乡）天生都会包粽子呢 ：）我父母是湖北人，所以有一天我突然就会包了,那时还没有UTub -最西边的岛上- ♀ (0 bytes) () 06/09/2024 postreply 19:43:20
