Hello, everyone! It's been a long time!
Ling Miao smiled and greeted the live stream.
No, no, no, we've only been apart for two days, but we haven't seen the food vlogger in ages QAQ
[Upstairs, isn't what you're saying obvious?]
[laughing so hard, this isn't exactly nonsense, is it? [winking emoji][winking emoji]JPG.]
[We've really had a lot of food live streams lately, although we've seen plenty of delicious food featured on variety shows.]
However, I still miss the days when the streamer was busy in the kitchen; it gave me a real sense of warmth and connection.
Stop pretending, you're just craving it. Aren't travel shows enough for you?
[lol, whether I'm drooling or not, I miss the streamer! I wonder if the streamer has prepared any gifts for us?]
...
Ling Miao smiled as she watched the viewers in the live stream making jokes and banter.
She hasn't done a live stream in a long time and misses it a bit. Although the live variety show has just ended, she still prefers her regular job to variety show recording.
Ling Miao smiled and turned to introduce the zongzi she was going to make today.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, so today we'll make a limited edition Dragon Boat Festival zongzi."
【Zongzi? What is zongzi?】
I think I learned about the Dragon Boat Festival in a course on ancient Earth culture.
So, is it true that we eat zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) during the Dragon Boat Festival? What are zongzi? How do we eat them?
[This expert is here! According to ancient records, zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are a symbol of the Dragon Boat Festival culture.]
So what exactly does a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) look like?
[Hooray! More delicious food!]
Not only did viewers in the live stream express their doubts about zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), but Rella, Susan, and a few others were also very curious.
They looked at the ingredients laid out in front of Ling Miao and exchanged glances, each seeing confusion in the other's eyes.
They knew about glutinous rice, but it was sticky and not very tasty after cooking, and the side dishes didn't go well with it either. And what was the leaf for?
At this moment, some viewers in the live stream also noticed the ingredients that Ling Miao had placed next to her.
I see rice! Are zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) made from rice?
I also saw those square-shaped pieces of flesh. What are those leaves for?
Is that bright yellow egg yolk? I also saw the red bean paste and red dates on the other side.
Do we have to eat all of these together? Egg yolk, red bean paste, red dates, meat, and rice. And what's that leaf for?
[It looks so delicious, with both meat and vegetables! It must be tasting amazing! [drooling][drooling]JPG]
So how exactly do you eat this?
Seeing so much curiosity in the live stream chat, and the people around her also wondering, Ling Miao stopped keeping them in suspense. She blinked.
Hold one of the prepared bamboo leaves in one hand and quickly roll it into a pointed cone shape.
Then, a spoonful of glutinous rice was added, followed by a piece of lean and fatty meat, a small orange-yellow egg yolk, and finally, the last layer of glutinous rice was placed on top.
With a flick of the wrist and a thin hemp rope tied around it, a small, irregularly shaped triangular cone appeared before everyone.
? ? ?
Is that all?
Is this still raw? How can we eat it?
I didn't see any seasoning in it...
[Won't it be too greasy? It has no flavor and no oil. Shouldn't it be stir-fried first to render out the excess oil?]
[And the rice doesn't seem to taste good either, why?]
Ling Miao looked up and saw the comment flash past her eyes. She pursed her lips, revealing two small dimples on her cheeks.
"This is glutinous rice, which is different from regular rice."
【Sticky rice?】
I just looked it up, and it is indeed a type of rice, but it's stickier, and very few people use it as a staple food.
I also saw on Sohu that eating too much glutinous rice can cause indigestion.
So, glutinous rice and meat taste really good together?
No one doubted Ling Miao's methods. After all, every dish the streamer had made so far had been incredibly delicious. Although they found it strange that glutinous rice and meat chunks were put together, no one questioned Ling Miao's actions.
However, some people noticed other ingredients and expressed their confusion.
I saw red bean paste and red dates.
Why didn't the streamer include other content in the list?
[They only added egg yolks and chunks of meat, what about the other ingredients?]
Susan watched Ling Miao's actions thoughtfully. She walked over and imitated her, rolling the bamboo leaves into a cylindrical shape, making sure the bottom wouldn't leak.
Then she scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice into it, and then looked at the red dates on the side.
Next, she added the washed and pitted red dates, glancing sideways at Ling Miao, and seeing that the other did not object in any way,
Susan smiled slightly and quickly wrapped a jujube rice dumpling.
Seeing Susan's actions, the others understood.
They all stepped forward and began wrapping zongzi.
Seeing the actions of the other people in the live stream, he completely understood.
Although they couldn't see each other's faces (Ling Miao blurred the faces of the other employees), their movements were still clearly visible.
[So these are different flavors.]
So that salted egg yolk meat dish is always salty?
The other ingredients, red dates and red bean paste, will definitely be sweet, no doubt about it, sweet tooths rejoice!
[Yay! Yay! So sweet! It's just so sweet!]
[Meat lovers rejoice! Such a big piece of meat, it must taste amazing! But I don't like egg yolks, so it would be great if the streamer didn't add any.]
