This is a shorter working week in China . And that is the end of this week the Chinese, and those who are not Chinese but we live here, we enjoy a long bridge on the occasion of 端午节 (Duan Wu Jie, or in English, Dragon Boat Festival, or Feast of the Dragon) which is celebrated each year on the fifth day of the fifth Chinese lunar month, which this year falls on May 28.
Well today I went to buy some meat to the market, when I found my butcher just preparing traditional foods of the upcoming feast: the zongzi. A ball of rice, or rather pyramid of rice with different fillings and wrapped in a bamboo leaf.
From what I have seen today, and contrary to what I thought, these zongzi, are prepared within the sheet with the uncooked rice, uncooked, and is a seasoned and tied again when cooked.
She was using to fill a kind of dried fruit, like prunes, a mixture of grain, as peas and beans, but China and, surprisingly, a salami sausage that smelled and told me it was meat that is prepared and dry in winter (ie, salami Chinese).
The truth is that she was preparing had a very tasty pint, and told me to come back tomorrow, which will be ready to eat.
Until then let's see how this delicacy is prepared Asia:
