Quite delicious Spicy Pork Zongzi Cooking Tips1. The meat can be cut into slices, strips, or cubes, depending on personal preference; there is no limit to seasonings, and the type and amount can be adjusted according to taste;
2. Soak the glutinous rice before use, which can reduce the cooking time and make the texture softer and glutinous. If you wrap it directly without soaking, the cooking time will be longer and the texture will be stronger. Therefore, you can choose to soak or not soak according to your personal preference.
