Warm-up for the May Zongzi Festival - Crystal Sago Zongzi

Overview

Cinco de Mayo is coming soon, isn’t it an exciting time again? Summer is here, and every time I eat rice dumplings, I steam them in full swing. My bright glasses can’t afford to be damaged, and they turn white every time. So today I made a rice dumpling that I can eat while chilling in the refrigerator - crystal sago rice dumplings.
