Southern Peanut Zongzi

Southern Peanut Zongzi

　　Taiwanese meat zongzi is divided into northern-style and southern-style. Southern-style zongzi involves lightly stir-frying glutinous rice and peanuts without adding soy sauce color. The fillings include pork, shallots, chestnuts, pressed tofu, taro, and more. The wrapped zongzi are then steamed in water until the rice is fully cooked. When eating, they are dipped in seasonings. Because they are directly boiled and take longer to cook, the flavor is rich. For high-quality peanut zongzi, only long-grain glutinous rice is used, the bamboo leaves are premium Ma bamboo leaves specially purchased from Meishan in Chiayi, and the peanuts are top-grade selections from various peanut farms, achieving the perfect level of tenderness. Recommendation: Cai Zong Li Zongzi. This is a long-standing zongzi shop in downtown Kaohsiung. The owner maintains consistent methods from the ingredients to the bamboo leaves.
