How to Make a Joong

Learn how to make a Joong (zhongzi). If you haven't eaten a homemade Joong, you haven't experienced the full flavor of Cantonese cooking. In this video, my Aunts show us the Ancient Chinese Way. We make a record 170 Joongs!

Sort of off topic, I'm curious, what generation Chinese American are you?

3rd generation Chinese/Korean American here. My grandma used to make this as well. These were the best! The only place I know of in L.A. is Won Kok that makes decent Joong. I would love to learn how to do this as I have a passion for cooking, and food I grew up with in childhood.

haaaa, its comforting to know my family does all the same stuff/has the same conversations while making joong. I don't know if you've heard of this book, but the section on the Cantonese talks a little bit about historical background in joong. 'The Chinese Mosaic: Peoples and Provinces of China' by Leo J. Moser 1987

I love your family! I want to come over and learn how to make Joong from them!! :-) I want to try and make this for my boyfriend. He is a 2nd generation Chinese American. Family from South China. Thank you!

Can you make a video on how to put a dim sum (yum cha) together? Or at least a Char Siu Bao. :-)

Be proud of your ethnicity! I am not a first generation person, but my kids are. I am constantly reminding them off our heritage, family values and begin respective of the older generations.
