It's our traditional custom to eat Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, but ordinary zongzi are made of glutinous rice. Although they are delicious, they will inevitably be greasy. It's better to change a new way to eat crystal zongzi from this year. Crystal zongzi is not only good-looking but also delicious. Let's introduce the practice of crystal zongzi to you. Let's learn it
What rice is crystal zongzi made of
Crystal zongzi is mainly made of sago.
Sago is mainly made from palm trunks or tree stems. It needs some complex processes to make edible sago starch. Sago will become colorless and transparent paste after adding water. This is the main material of crystal zongzi.
We need not only sago but also some milk when making crystal zongzi.
Nutritional value of sago:
Sago is usually used to cook porridge. It contains vitamin B, nourishes the skin and keeps it moist. It is also excellent for the nourishment of hair. However, Simi also has drugs. Because Simi is warm in nature, it can strengthen the spleen, moisten the lungs and dissipate phlegm. Therefore, Simi has a very good health care function for the body.
Simple method of crystal zongzi:
1. Prepare materials, sago, Zongye and stuffing (the stuffing added is based on your preference).
2. Put sago in a bowl and slowly add water until sago absorbs some water.
3. Wash the zongzi leaves, then cut off two sections, one before and one after, and roll them into the shape of a funnel.
4. Use the rice dumpling leaves made into a funnel to load an appropriate amount of sago. Press it and don't be too loose.
5. Add stuffing, which can be placed in the middle and upper part of sago.
6. Just cover it with a layer of sago, press the edge of the Zongye with your fingers, and then fold the Zongye above to cover the food inside, and then fold the corners on both sides.
7. Wrap Zongye into the shape of zongzi, and then tie it with cotton thread.
8. Just boil it in water. Generally, after the water boils, you can enjoy it with a low fire for 20 minutes.
Do you need to soak the crystal zongzi sago
Yes, but the time is very short. Just look like a minute.
Because sago itself is very soluble in water, you must not soak it too long, otherwise it will easily affect the taste of zongzi.
Is it very simple to make the above crystal zongzi? In fact, except that sago is a fixed ingredient, others can be added at will according to their own preferences, and even the shape of zongzi can be changed.
