There is an important festival to celebrate called Dragon Boat Festival. During this special time we eat zongzi. Mom is showing me how to make zongzi this weekend. Firstly, she buys bamboo leaves from the store. She washes the leaves and uses water to boil them. She snips off the stem of every leaf. Secondly, she prepares the things that go inside zongzi. We have pork belly, rice, mung beans, mushrooms, dried shrimps and egg yolks. Mom cooks all of these. Now mom is ready to wrap zongzi. She uses two leaves to form a cone. She fills up the cone with the filling. Lastly, she folds and wraps before she ties the zongzi. Then we steam some for eating now and mom freezes the rest.
I personally like salty zongzi. Firstly, I don’t like sweet food that much. It doesn’t taste good to me. Secondly, I like to eat meat. Pork belly is yummy and it helps me grow. I like to eat pork and rice together, just like zongzi. Last but not the least, Cantonese zongzi and Taiwanese zongzi are both salty. My mom is from Guangzhou. My dad is from Taiwan. I eat like mom and dad. I also want to go to both places, so I eat the food that is from there. That’s why I like salty zongzi better than sweet zongzi.
