Zongzi, Sticky Rice Dumpling (Bak Zhang) 肉粽子

In many countries like China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, we celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival together during mid of the year and this has been a tradition of Chinese. Other than Dragon Boat race, another must-do during the festival is to eat the Zongzi, which is the sticky rice dumpling or Chinese tamales. It is a Chinese dish made of glutinous rice and we put a lot of filling inside such as pork belly, black-eyed peas, chestnut, and the salted egg (my favorite). Although there are many types of rice dumpling such as alkaline dumpling, crystal rice dumpling and etc, but today we are making the most traditional Zongzi. This video will guide you on how to make Zongzi and how to wrap a perfect Zongzi while enjoying the ASMR cooking, enjoy 😊

在这端午节里学习粽子的做法和包法。我们很多国家例如中国，台湾，马来西亚，新加坡等等都会一起庆祝端午节，这是我们华人的传统。除了龙舟比赛，我们当然也要吃美味的肉粽子啦。它是用糯米包裹很多的馅料，如五花肉，栗子，花生，还有咸蛋黄（我的最爱）等等材料。虽然有许多种不同的月饼，例如碱水粽，水晶粽等等，但我们今天就做最传统的肉粽子。今天就让我们一起学习粽子的做法和包法，一边享受ASMR烹饪。
