Zong zi, also known as sticky rice dumplings, is a traditional Chinese food that is commonly eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar (usually in June). It is a festive food that has a long history and cultural significance in Chinese cuisine.
Zong zi is made by wrapping glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice, in bamboo leaves and then steaming or boiling it. The glutinous rice is usually soaked in water for several hours or overnight before being used. The rice is then mixed with various ingredients to create different flavors and fillings.
