Steps to make Conical alkaline water white rice dumplings

1. Soak glutinous rice 2-3 hours in advance, drain the soaked glutinous rice, add a little edible alkali to the glutinous rice, mix well, and then let it stand for more than half an hour. The amount of edible alkali does not need to be high, as long as the color of the rice turns yellow;
2. Boil the zongzi leaves in boiling water in advance and let them dry. Take a zongzi leaf and twist it from the middle to form a pointed conical funnel;
3. Wrap the zongzi leaves along a conical funnel to form a slender cone that can be held by one hand (similar to the ice cream cone we eat). Pay attention to the sharp tip at the bottom of the funnel and avoid leaving large holes;
4. Fill in a small amount of glutinous rice and poke it with chopsticks to fully fill the rice grains in the zongzi leaves;
5. Continue to fill the glutinous rice until it is almost level with the top of the cone (about 8 minutes full), and compact the glutinous rice;
6. Press the zongzi leaves on the right side of the cone to the left and hold them down with your thumb;
7. Press the zongzi leaves on the left side of the cone to the right and hold them down with your thumb;
8. Fold down the upper part of the leaf and press it tightly;
9. Wrap the excess zongzi leaves around the cone, then tie a cotton rope around the waist, and a cone-shaped zongzi will be wrapped;
10. Wrap all the Zongzi according to the law, then put them into the pot, add sufficient water, press the top onto the plate, turn the water to low heat and continue to cook for about 2 hours before eating.
