Step 1
Wash the glutinous rice, soak it for 1 hour in advance, remove and drain the water, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, salt, and a little edible alkali, mix well and set aside.Step 2
Wash the peeled mung beans, add a little glutinous rice, salt and pepper, and mix well. (Glutinous rice is added to make the mung beans stick more)Step 3
Marinate the pork belly with thirteen spices, salt, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cooking wine, then refrigerate overnight.Step 4
Prepare chestnuts. (My mother bought these chestnuts a while ago, peeled them and put them in the refrigerator, so they are a bit dark, haha)Step 5
After washing the palm leaves, boil them in a pot for 10 minutes, take them out and drain them. (Boiled palm leaves are much more flexible and less likely to crack)Step 6
When the materials are ready, start wrapping the zongzi. Put two palm leaves together and fold them into a triangle.Step 7
The bottom of the triangle should be folded into a double layer to prevent the rice from leaking out.Step 8
Add one-third of the glutinous rice.Step 9
Put the filling in.Step 10
Then cover the top with glutinous rice, and add the rice until it is nine-fifths full.Step 11
Fold the leaves in half to cover the glutinous rice in the triangle area, and pinch both sides with your hands.Step 12
Then fold the remaining leaves upward at the bottom of the triangle and press the edges tightly.Step 13
Then tie the two ends with two circles of straw, and the dumpling is wrapped. (The straw must be tightened, otherwise it will fall apart)Step 14
Wrap all the dumplings.Step 15
Put it into the pressure cooker, add a little edible alkali and salt.Step 16
Add boiling water.Step 17
Add the amount of water to basically the same level as brown rice.Step 18
Bring the pressure cooker to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat and cook for 1 hour. After cooking, remove the water and let it dry, then hang it indoors or store it in the refrigerator. (It’s an old man’s habit to hold up chopsticks. They say it won’t overflow the pot and won’t be half-cooked. Okay, I’ll accept it...)Step 19
There is also a way to wrap the cold brown rice. The cold brown rice is not filled with fillings. After cooking, it is dipped in sugar and eaten. A brown leaf is folded in half to make a triangle.Step 20
Use your fingers to turn the upper leaves in a circle to form two layers of brown leaves. Fold the straw in half and pass it through the bottom triangular bottom.Step 21
Top up the glutinous rice.Step 22
It is also folded in half and then tied in a circle with straw.Step 23
This little brown is my favorite for children to carry. It’s so cute!Step 24

Use boiling water to cook brown rice. The rice will not be bland when cooked.
Don't fill the rice dumplings too full, otherwise they will burst after cooking.
Add a little edible alkali to the brown rice, which makes it more shelf-stable. It can be stored for ten days and a half without putting it in the refrigerator.
