Saturday, June 8, 2013, let's make zongzi together and relive the taste of home

In the early days, before the Dragon Boat Festival, every household was always filled with the aroma of steaming and boiling zongzi. Besides offering sacrifices to ancestors, children looked forward every year to eating their mother's signature zongzi. At some point, because shopping became convenient and work became busy, many families switched one after another to buying them instead of making their own. Yet the flavor of each family is exactly the taste of home in every child's memory. Even though they all use glutinous rice, the fillings and cooking methods differ, so they simply do not taste the same. Whether it tastes good or not cannot be compared, because every single zongzi is the maker's love for family.

We hope this taste of home can be passed down from generation to generation, so we have invited Yilan's golden aristocrat, Grandma Chen, to teach her old-timey meat zongzi, so that after learning from the most original traditional flavor, everyone can go on to create their own signature zongzi.

Influenced by commercial advertising, some people may be used to adding sauce when eating zongzi, but the ingredients listed on commercially sold bottled sauces are sometimes written very vaguely. This time we will let everyone eat even the dipping sauce healthily and with peace of mind, so we will share even the sauce recipe without holding anything back!

1)Zongzi wrapping experience: Yilan mothers will guide everyone through the entire process, from stir-frying the filling and cooking the rice to wrapping, using the most traditional original ingredients. Afterward, everyone will be taught to make their own delicious and healthy dipping sauce.

2)Green living exchange: Can cleaning agents only be bought? Even if commercially sold general cleaning agents seem to really have a decontamination effect, the chemical substances in them hide harm to the human body and environmental pollution whose high cost we cannot imagine. We will teach everyone on site to make eco-friendly enzyme cleaner, which is simple, saves money, and lets you use it with peace of mind without burdening the environment.
