Happy belated Dragon Boat Festival! I wasn't going to post about it because nothing happens for Dragon Boat Festival here, but I'm going to share the zongzi I made anyway ^u^v
Normally zongzi are filled with a lot of stuff like fatty pork, peanuts, water chestnut, shitake mushrooms, and even more stuff depending on each seller's recipes! Because I made mine very last minute, I didn't have any ingredients, not even glutinous rice! The middle-eastern grocer didn't have any either, so I used the leftover white rice we had at home ^^;
The sauce is normally very flavorful, but I only used soy sauce and spices! I did manage to get bamboo leaves and cotton twine at least! And the zongzi didn't fall apart when I wrapped them!
Once steamed, the inside is far more lacking! The filling is really only tofu and white mushrooms!
I will need to plan ahead next time...
What traditional food do you like to make? I guess it doesn't even need to be a traditional food :P Just what festival or holiday food do you enjoy making?
