Zongzi - Traditional Chinese rice-pudding

Zongzi is a traditional Chinese food made of glutinous rice, stuffed with different fillings, and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, before being steamed or boiled. These sticky rice dumplings are the most popular food of the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi differ in shape and taste from one place to another across China. There are mainly two tastes to Zongzi: sweet and savoury. Nowadays people even make Zongzi with mixed sweet and savoury fillings. Such a variety of tastes makes the Zongzi family a splendid legacy.
