Zongzi 粽子 are traditionally eaten during Duanwu Festival, also known as Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. Zongzi is a traditional dish made of glutinous rice, stuffed with various fillings, and wrapped in bamboo leaves. They are cooked by boiling. There are sweet and savory zongzi depending on the region of origin.


We’ll be making savory meat zongzi during this session. We will be wrapping together, and you will take them home to cook. An additional set of 3 is available for $18.
