These delightful treats are sticky rice dumplings wrapped in fragrant bamboo leaves. What makes them extra special is the wide range of fillings they can have, including beans, meats, nuts, or even sweet fillings. The dumplings are lovingly shaped into cute pyramid shapes and then either boiled or steamed to perfection. And here&#8217;s a fun fact: the tradition of eating zongzi is connected to a Chinese Patriotic Poet named Qu Yuan. If you&#8217;re curious about the story, feel free to check it out below!

Not only did they smell lovely, but they also had sterilizing properties, keeping those pesky insects and bacteria away.

It is made primarily with glutinous rice and wrapped in leaves. The fillings can vary and include ingredients such as black-eyed peas, soybeans, Chinese sausage, salted duck eggs, peanuts, chestnuts, corn, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, and pork. Zongzi is typically cooked by boiling or steaming. However, besides being delicious, zongzi is also high in calories, ranging from around 400 to 600 kcal per serving. It would take about 2 to 3 hours of jogging to burn off those calories. In modern times, there are also various creative adaptations of zongzi, such as turning them into frozen treats like taro milk zongzi, matcha red bean zongzi, or pearl milk tea mochi zongzi, offered by many commercial establishments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:22% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_39635EA1AD32-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8647 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_39635EA1AD32-1.jpeg 952w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_39635EA1AD32-1-600x413.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_39635EA1AD32-1-300x206.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_39635EA1AD32-1-768x528.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_39635EA1AD32-1-850x585.jpeg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Realgar Wine<\/strong> <strong>\u96c4<span class=\"lang-zh-TW\">\u9ec3<\/span><span class=\"lang-zh-CN\">\u9ec4<\/span>\u9152 xi\u00f3nghu\u00e1ngji\u01d4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chinese medicinal wine that&#8217;s made by infusing realgar, a bright yellow mineral, into alcohol.
