The interest of the rice dumplings in the north and the South
generally speaking, the northerners are bold and bold and bold, the southerners are delicate and subtle and shy. Many plants and animals grow in the north and grow much larger than the south. Many varieties of food made by northerners are also larger than those in the south. But there is one exception, that is, zongzi.
Beijing dumplings are small, and stuffing is usually just like bean paste. Sometimes stuffing some sticky dates on glutinous rice is really nothing to eat. It's unlikely that anyone like me can make rice dumplings himself. He has to buy food outside the Dragon Boat Festival every year. The dumplings sold by general stores and peddlers are not only clean, but also too long to be cooked or cooked. Rice dumplings are usually mixed with brown rice. When they are cold, they are hard to eat and bite like bricks. Especially the zongzi stuffed with rotten jujube, there is always a bitter taste in the end. I was so anxious that several times my tongue had tied the pointed jujube nuts, and I couldn't help scolding the wicked guys.
whenever this time, I always miss the big meat dumplings that I used to eat when I was little. After the dumplings are cooked, they are often cut into segments. The family members get together and enjoy the cake as a birthday party. The big dumplings in the Southern home make people feel like the fake baby that the Party Entertainer is holding. A few years ago, on television, a woman in Wuming, Guangxi, had a huge dumpling, which was cooked several days and nights. Nowadays, many places want to develop their own tourism and other industries with cultural characteristics and local snacks. In fact, "big dumplings" can also become a feature.
the process of making zongzi when you were young is also very interesting. When my mother prepared the glutinous rice, the spiced five flower strips, the big bamboo leaves and the small hemp rope, I always quarreled with one hand and clamored to pack one for myself. When the mother wrapped the zongzi, a zongzi only put a piece of meat in the dumplings, and when I made my own bag, I must put two or three strips in the middle of the glutinous rice. After cooking and cooling, take the food outside and show off to other children. It feels good and tastes good. It seems that there are still lingering fragrance in the mouth.
