My grandparents made this sometimes, its one of my favorite foods

[mangopancake88]

Also, can I use a rice cooker to make the sticky rice? If yes, how much water do I put?

[mangopancake88]

Hi, are bamboo leaves meant to be bitter? I tried using the bamboo leaves today as a substitute for lotus leaves. After soaking them overnight with boiling water and again in the morning, I notice they are bitter after steaming?

I wish you could just take away the distracting music and provide some verbal or written instructions.

[harvs17]

These are very different from tamales & taste different as well. Hope you get to enjoy them sometime and taste the difference.

[MrBebe88]

where can i get the leaves and what kind of leaves is that?

[ChynnaDahl]

The leaves traditionally used are bamboo which can be found dried or frozen in Asian markets. If you can't find them, you can get similar results just using plastic wrap but you won't get the full depth of flavor the leaves impart.

[SickaThnUrAvgAZN]

@MrBebe88 Bamboo leaves.

great method. ive always wanted to know how the triangle method was done. my family usually use the rectangle method instead.

[Paulpunkrocks]

wow she used a lot of stuff... my mom usually just uses lentils, pork and dried shrimp

[rainbowbutterfly14]

does anybody know how to make the rice?

[ChynnaDahl]

You use "sweet rice" or "glutinous rice" which is a very short grain rice used mainly for deserts and snacks. It has a very high starch content which makes the cooked rice naturally sticky. The ingredients you add to make the zongzi depend on if you are making a sweet or savory version.

[JFMello1116]

Since glutinous rice is impossible to find in my area, would rolled oats mixed with the rice provide enough stickiness to hold them together?

[ChynnaDahl]

No. Glutinous rice is often labeled as "Sweet Rice" since it is used a lot in Asian deserts. You can find it in many Asian stores or in Chinatown. It's a VERY short grain rice almost like the Italian aborio rice which I suppose you can use if you can't find "sweet rice".

Very good!
