Pork Belly Zongzi Filling

Overview

There is indeed a difference between rice dumplings and rice dumplings. Some time ago, someone gave me two. When I ate them, I felt that the ones I made were still delicious. I still thought about them after eating them. Someone happened to go up the mountain to pick star anise a few days ago. I asked someone to help pick the rice dumpling leaves and came back. I wrapped them in rice dumplings last weekend. This time I can eat them for a while. The pork belly used for zongzi can be fat or lean, and the meat must be cooked thoroughly. The fat must be cooked to a point where you don't need to chew it, and it is almost like oil to make it delicious. And when choosing meat, you should choose meat that is shiny. In our countryside, we should choose large pigs. Local pigs are the best. In the city, I guess there is no such good meat, so just make do with it.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Cut the pork belly into long pieces. The exact size depends on whether your rice dumplings are big or small. If they are too big, it will be difficult to wrap the rice dumplings.

   

2. 2 When I was buying meat, I saw Wu Hua Liang and bought a big piece. I also brought a few ribs, and the ribs were cut into another dish.

   

3. 3 Wash the star anise leaves slightly and scald them with boiling water. It’s okay if you don’t scald them. I want to disinfect them.

   

4. 4 After pouring away the boiling water, add soy sauce and soak it. It is best to soak it one day in advance to enhance the flavor. Add a few more slices of ginger, I forgot to take a photo

   

5. 5 Pour the soy sauce water from the star anise leaves into the sliced pork belly.

   

6. 6 Mix well.

   

7. 7 Cover and refrigerate. It is best to marinate the rice dumplings the day before. Remember to stir during this period so that the soy sauce can be evenly absorbed. It’s best to use a container with a wide mouth, so it’s easy to flip, but I haven’t found one that’s suitable.

   

8. 8 When making rice dumplings, add them together with other fillings. Use chopsticks when wrapping. Don't use star anise leaves, just the meat.

   

9. 9 I cooked two bean and tendon programs in the electric pressure cooker. To cook the rice dumplings, we boil the water and then add the rice dumplings to cook.

   

10. 10 The meat almost turned into oil and it was so fragrant.
