​Guilin Zongzi - A New Experience of Traditional Delicacy

Guilin zongzi integrates local characteristics on the basis of traditional production techniques, bringing a unique and delicious experience. The zongzi leaves are fresh bamboo leaves grown along the Lijiang River, with a fresh and natural aroma of plants. The glutinous rice is carefully selected, plump in grains, and soaked in advance to ensure it is soft, glutinous and sweet after being steamed. The fillings are extremely diverse. The classic one is streaky pork filling. The streaky pork with fat and lean parts is marinated with local spices in Guilin, making it savory and flavorful. When wrapping zongzi, first fold the bamboo leaf into a funnel shape, fill in a layer of glutinous rice, spread the marinated streaky pork, and then cover it with another layer of glutinous rice. Wrap it tightly with bamboo leaves and tie it firmly with cotton thread. During the steaming process, the fragrance of the bamboo leaves, the soft - glutinous texture of the glutinous rice, and the savory flavor of the streaky pork blend and penetrate each other. Peel off the bamboo leaves, and the steaming - hot zongzi is presented in front of you. The glutinous rice is crystal - clear, having absorbed the meaty fragrance and the leaf fragrance. Take a bite, it is soft and glutinous with chewiness, and the oil fragrance of the streaky pork instantly spreads in the mouth, with a sweet - savory interweaving, leaving a lingering fragrance between the lips and teeth. In addition, there are innovative flavors such as red bean paste filling and chestnut filling for Guilin zongzi, bringing a new experience of traditional delicacies to diners and making this traditional food continuously rejuvenate in modern times.
