Although it has been several days since the Dragon Boat Festival. But I still wrote a recipe for this Zongzi to share. Only because this year's Zongzi was made by myself, it was too ugly. So I found another opportunity to practice my hand again. Today's Zongzi doesn't use reed leaves or bamboo leaves. When I went to the countryside to pick vegetables, I saw the corn on the ground. The leaves were green and wide. I was moved. Is it OK to make Zongzi. So I folded a bunch of corn leaves and came back to wash them. I really could wrap green Zongzi. And the cooked Zongzi also has the fragrance of corn leaves.
