Peanut and Mung Bean Zongzi

Ingredients: glutinous rice, red dates, peanuts, and mung beans.

Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly and soak it in clean water. Rinse the red dates, mung beans, and peanuts thoroughly as well, and also soak them in clean water in advance for about 2 or 3 hours.

Clean the bamboo leaves, soak them in water first, then boil them in hot water for 5 minutes, and let them sit for 1 hour.

Drain the water from the mung beans and peanuts, drain the water from the glutinous rice, and mix evenly.

Cut off the hard tip of the zongzi leaf, fold it into a funnel shape, fill it with glutinous rice, peanuts, mung beans, and red dates, and wrap it up.

Just tie it tightly with a rope.

Wrapped 12 zongzi, put them into a pressure cooker, add enough water to reach the level of the zongzi, cook under pressure for 35 minutes, and let it sit for 1 hour.

The fragrance of bamboo leaves fills the air, welcoming the Dragon Boat Festival.
