Скачать или смотреть Learning to Wrap Joong (Zongzi) from Grandma! | 粽子Chinese Sticky Rice Wrapped in Bamboo Leaves | SUB

Today is our first time making Zongzi or Joong in Cantonese, which is a Chinese sticky rice dumpling that is wrapped in bamboo leaves. This is a traditional Chinese food that is usually made once a year for the Dragon Boat Festival. This festival is on the 5th day of the 5th month on the lunar calendar which usually lands around late May/June.

Angie and I both grew up eating joong made by older relatives. There are different varieties of joong, which include savory ones with meat and without meat, and sweet kinds made with alkaline water or bean paste. These differences can be from the different provinces where they originated from and were made. I grew up eating savory Cantonese joong with pork belly, Chinese sausage, salted egg yolks, and peanuts/chestnuts. I remember my grandma would be sitting on a stool with all the ingredients lined up around her and she would spend many hours wrapping joong. As a kid, I would sit next to her and watch her and occasionally placing some of the filling items in the bamboo leaves as she wrapped it.

We had a lot of fun learning from the master how to wrap joong. It was a struggle to wrap them in the beginning but once we wrapped a few, it became easier and easier. Next year, we'll make them for family and for my grandma to enjoy!
