Basic Introduction of Gaotan Huishui Zongzi

The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. In Gaotan Town, the old revolutionary base area of Huidong County, there is a kind of Zongzi called "Huishui Zongzi" by the local people, which is very popular. There is a well-known "Zongzi Village" in the town - Huangkeng Village Group of Huangzhou Village, which is famous for producing grey water dumplings

Grey water zongzi, as the name suggests, is similar to grey water steamed buns. Soak the glutinous rice thoroughly in alkaline water to give it a faint yellow color, then wrap it in reed leaves to form small dumplings with four corners and tie them tightly. The boiled and peeled Zongzi has the fragrance of reed leaves, and the yellow Zongzi looks full and round. Just like grey water bread, you can eat it by pouring syrup on it

The "grey water" of grey water zongzi refers to the natural alkaline water obtained by dissolving, precipitating, and clarifying the ash of bamboo and grass. The Zongzi made from the glutinous rice soaked in gray water is slightly yellow and very soft because the gray water is alkaline. People often dip grey water zongzi in honey to eat, and if there is no honey, they use white sugar instead

The grey water dumplings in eastern Guangdong are popular in Hakka areas in eastern Guangdong and parts of Guangxi, and are special Zongzi for the Loong Boat Festival. The overall shape is long and without any filling. It has a slightly astringent and bitter taste when eaten empty. The typical way to eat is to dip it in yellow sugar or mix it with your favorite sweet sauce. A major characteristic from ancient times to the present
