I've been wanting to make Zongzi for the longest time! Thank you so much for the video ☺ It's so beautifully filmed and very informative too! I can't wait to try it out 😊 Have a wonderful weekend! 🍃
Great video. Beautifully put together and concise! Thanks for making this! I have been wanting to try to make this but seemed too daunting. This video breaks it down so I can see exactly all the steps needed.
Tips for making Zongzi: 1. To prevent the leaves from ripping, make sure the leaves are soaked 30 mins or more before boiling. This allows you to bend the leaves without tearing when placing them in the pot. Also buy high quality leaves, the one featured in my video is a good tried & true brand. 2. Save time by cooking your peanuts in the pressure cooker vs stove top. It cuts the time from 45 mins to 15mins. 3. Wrap with the shiny side of the leaves facing in and matte side outwards. This prevents the leaves from sticking after it’s boiled, which makes it harder to peel. 4. I’m the last step of wrapping (before the string) make sure to give it a few taps all around for the ingredients to fill in the empty spaces. 5. When it’s time to cook your zongzi, fill your pot with cold water not hot and let it come to a boil all together. This allows it to cook thoroughly resulting in a better texture. Happy Zongzi Wrapping!
Thank you ❤️ It’s better to separate them bc the chestnuts take a shorter time to cook and will become mushy if combined with the peanuts. I tried it once and the chestnuts fell apart and crumbled. The peanuts normally take 45mins to an hour to cook on the stove top so it made sense to use the pressure cooker for it to save time. I hope that helps! 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing. They look yummy. I am going to make some tomorrow. Can chestnuts and peanuts be cooked together in the pressure cooker?
