Hometown food - winter solstice zongzi

In addition to wrapping zongzi on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year - the Dragon Boat Festival, the family will also wrap a meal of zongzi a few days before the winter solstice ~ mainly glutinous rice, with pork belly, peanuts , eyebrow peas, mung beans, sesame, etc. as fillings. Try to choose the fatty pork belly, and the dumplings made are fragrant~ Different from the current Internet celebrity triangle mini zongzi, the old people prefer long and large zongzi, which are full of material and full! Hahaha... Today, I finally did it myself, and it's really not bad! For friends who like to eat stuffing, it is very friendly , and friends who like it can appropriately increase or decrease the filling~
