Tips

1 Soak glutinous rice and coarse grain millet in water beforehand, the longer you soak them, the stickier they become. Change the water when they start to sour, usually soaking for a week is needed. Good quality soaking leads to soft and sweet zongzi;

2 It tastes better after cooling down; it's chewy and delicious.

3 Tie the zongzi tightly with rope to prevent rice from spilling during cooking.
