Steps for making Glutinous Rice and Red Date Four-Corner Zongzi:
Step 1: Clean and soak the red dates, both types of sticky rice, and zongzi leaves overnight. Step 2: Boil the soaked zongzi leaves in water, then remove and set aside. Place two boiled leaves together and roll them into a conical shape from the center, then fill with soaked sticky rice and red dates. Step 3: Use a small spoon to press down firmly, hold the sides with your hands, fold the zongzi leaves over to cover the rice, and tie tightly with string. A beautiful four-corner zongzi is now wrapped. Step 4: Place the wrapped zongzi in a pressure cooker, add water, cover with the pressure cooker lid, and set the timer to cook for one and a half hours. After turning off the heat, do not open the pot immediately; the longer the zongzi is left to steam, the better it tastes. Step 5: Remove the steamed zongzi and soak them in cold water. The soaked zongzi will be sticky and firm. Step 6: The nutritionally rich, soft, and sweet Glutinous Rice and Red Date Four-Corner Zongzi is simply delicious.Cooking Tips for Glutinous Rice and Red Date Four-Corner Zongzi:
