That big zongzi

Nazha Zongzi

　　Danzhou Nazha Zongzi is one of the three most well-known zongzi brands in Hainan Province. With a long history, it enjoys a great reputation both on and off the island. From the leaves to the filling, it is truly distinctive: the Danzhou Nazha zongzi leaves and reed leaves are over a foot long, with lush green color and a refreshing fragrance. The zongzi come in a wide range of varieties and are quite large in size, made with local black pork fat, lean meat, streaky pork, chicken, salted duck eggs, beans, dried red dates, shredded squid, and more. When preparing the ingredients, a mixture of wine, minced garlic, five-spice powder, MSG, soy sauce, and other seasonings is typically used for marination.
