Black Rice and Red Date Zongzi

Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly and soak it in clean water for 4 hours. Wash the black rice and soak it in clean water. Before making zongzi, drain the water and mix the two types of rice evenly.

Wash the red dates clean and soak them in advance.

Place the dry bamboo leaves into a pot, boil for 5 minutes, then simmer for 30 minutes. Cut off the top and bottom of the leaves to make wrapping easier.

Cross the two ends of the bamboo leaves to form a funnel shape, making sure there are no gaps at the bottom.

Glutinous rice and red dates are placed into the bamboo leaf, pressed down with a spoon, then the bamboo leaf is folded over the glutinous rice at the front and wrapped around the sides as well.

Simply tie the zongzi with a cotton rope.

Wrapped 12 zongzi.

Put the zongzi into the pressure cooker, 35 minutes, simmer for 1 hour.

You can eat the black rice and red date zongzi now.
