Happy Rice Dumpling Festival!!


What is rice dumpling? In Chinese, we called rice dumpling as "zong zi". I believe that most of the non Chinese have no idea what exactly is rice dumpling, right? Click here for more about "zong zi". 

Also, Rice Dumpling Festival also known as Dragon Boat Festival. Traditionally, Chinese eat rice dumpling only during this festival. But, today we can get rice dumplings almost all year long. Normally there are many different type of rice dumplings because of the ingredients used to different recipes.

I just had great yummy rice dumpling last week when I went back to hometown. Especially made by my lovely grandma. Her rice dumplings still the BEST!! Well, Chinese have a saying: "The older is the ginger, the spicier it gets!!". I totally agreed with this saying... :D

Well, I hope that now you know more what is rice dumpling a.k.a. "zong zi".

Happy Rice Dumpling Festival!!
