Preparing the Ingredients
1) Soak rice in boiling water for 2-3 hours or overnight (for better taste), drain well. Marinate it with Chinese five spice powder, Coriander powder, Dark soya sauce, dried shrimps and olive oil for 2-3 hours.
2) Marinate the pork with Chinese five spice powder, Rice wine, Oyster Sauce, Dark soya sauce, Black pepper, black fungus and Olive oil for 2-3 hours or overnight (for better taste).
3) Stir-fry onions and garlic until fragrant. Then add in the chicken stock cube and stir fry for awhile.
4) Add in the mixed marinated glutinous rice and stir fry for 10-15 minutes. Then set aside.
5) Stir-fry onions and garlic until fragrant. Then add in the chicken stock cube and stir fry for awhile, and add in the marinated the pork and stir fry till cook.
6) Soak mushrooms until soft. Clean and trim stalks. Cut into 2 or 3 pieces
7) Halve duck egg yolks.
8) Soak the Chestnut in boiling water for 1 hr and remove skin.
Wrap zongzi
8) Soak bamboo leaves in warm water for 5 minutes to tenderise, before washing thoroughly in cold water..
9) Take 2 leaves with leaf stem or spine facing out. Overlap them lengthwise in inverse directions (pointed end of one leaf facing the rounded end of the other).
10) With both hands hold leaves about 2/3rds of the way along their length. At that point bend them so that they are parallel lengthwise and also overlap. This should produce a leaf
pouch that you cup firmly in one hand.
11) Add a small amount of rice mixture, compressing with a spoon.
12) Add 1-3 pieces each of pork, chestnut, mushroom, duck egg yoke.
13) Add more rice until you have nearly a full
pouch. Compress firmly with a spoon.
14) Fold leaves over the open top of zongzi, then around to side until zongzi is firmly wrapped. Zongzi should be pyramid shaped with sharp edges and pointed ends. Trim off any excess leaf with scissors.
15) Tie up zongzi tightly just like shoes laces with a double knot. Normally they are tied to a bunch of zongzi.
16) Soak the zongzi into hot boiling for 1 hour till cook. Unwrap and serve
