How to Make Zhong Zi 粽子 - Sticky Rice Dumpling | Forage and Dim Sum

We make a tried and true Chinese dish: Chinese sticky rice! This week we went foraging to incorporate some of that fresh California seafood into this classic recipe and see if we can make it with our own little spin.
Ingredients: Bamboo/Lotus Leaf, Sweet/Glutinous Rice(1/2 cup uncooked), Chinese Style Sausage, California Mussels, Black Turban Snail, Kombu, Sea Salt, Wakame, Shiitake Mushroom, Canola Oil
Chinese Sticky Rice
1. Measure 1/2 cup sweet/glutinous rice and rinse rice a few times then let sit in water for at least two hours
2. After soaking, drain rice and pour into lined steamer
3. steam for 15-20 minutes then set aside.
4. Dice shiitake mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium heat then set aside.
5. Steam chinese styled sausage for 10 minutes then set aside
6. Parboil mussels and snails in boiling hot water for 3-4 minutes
7. Remove mussels and snails from their shells
8. Layout bamboo/lotus leaf on large surface
9. At the end of the bamboo leaf, shape 1/3-1/2 of the cooked rice into a regtangle
10. Add in all fillings that were set aside in the middle and use the remaining rice to cover the filling.
11. Fold up bamboo leaf around the rice and filling - take base of bamboo leaf and cover the rice, and then take the two sides and fold around the rice. Then continue to wrap the bamboo leaf around the rice.
12. Steam Zhong zhi for 1 hour.
Enjoy!
Fried Kombu Seasoning (Optional)
1. Either use freshly foraged kombu or rehydrate dried kombu by placing in water on medium/high heat
2. Cut kombu into smaller strips and start to heat canola oil on medium/high heat
3. Fry kombu strips and cook until they start crisping and just start to brown
4. Remove from oil and place on towel to dry excess oil
5. Salt immediately and break into tiny pieces
6. Sprinkle seasoning onto rice
Enjoy!

Marinate those in some Mc Cormick’s Baja-Citrus, your fish will be so tasty your eyes will roll.

Might have to try that!

I think it's more like "糯米鸡" than “粽子”. I'm a Chinese Cantonese and I prefer the one you made than Zongzi😂
