Food Tasting - Zongzi

粽子,Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), are traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar (approximately late-May to mid-June, for 2015, it was June 20th).

Our club members loved the Zongzi that I brought to the class! We talked about the legendary story associated with this traditional food. It is possible that we can make them in the classroom by ourselves. Next time! 

Here's a wikipedia link to Zongzi, if you'd like to know more about this food and its cultural significance:
