Tell you something about a kind of Chinese food
We celebrated our Chinese traditional festival recently:The Dragon Boat Day. Well, first, I dont like this English name. However, I dont know where this English name was derived from. Dragon Boat means we typically hold boating games on lakes or rivers on that day. However, China is very large. Not all of the towns hold this game.But all of us,I mean people in any place in China will eat the same food on this day:"Zongzi". That's Chinese Pinyin, I dont know its English translation.
Ok, let me introduce to you what Zongzi is and how to cook it.Zongzi is rice wrapped in leaves. It sounds easy,right? just wrap rice by leaves. haha,but I think it's a little hard to wrap rice by leaves,especially you need to shape it and use a string to tie around. After you finished the above process I said, you need to put it in a pot and then steam it. Sounds easy? Actually,I have no idea how to wrap a raw one, what I could do is put it in a pot and steam it. Haha. Oh,I almost forgot to tell you, clever people think rice is not delicious
enough by itself, so they add some other things or stuffing like meat,beans,eggs and so on. They believe rice couples with other stuffing would be more delicious. In one word, we make a variety of Zongzi.I like this food very much, but just with rice without any other things inside. I also like to
put a scoop of sugar on it before eating. I think that's delicious. Enjoy!

When I press 'messages' that to me write
'excuse, you have no access'. And you are on
other sites, can we can communicate there?

Very interestingly :-) I very much love
Chinese cuisine and now I can try to prepare
it. I for some reason can't write you the
