Learning to Wrap Joong (Zongzi) from Grandma! | 粽子Chinese Sticky Rice Wrapped in Bamboo Leaves | SUB
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2020
- Today is our first time making Zongzi or Joong in Cantonese, which is a Chinese sticky rice dumpling that is wrapped in bamboo leaves. This is a traditional Chinese food that is usually made once a year for the Dragon Boat Festival. This festival is on the 5th day of the 5th month on the lunar calendar which usually lands around late May/June.
Angie and I both grew up eating joong made by older relatives. There are different varieties of joong, which include savory ones with meat and without meat, and sweet kinds made with alkaline water or bean paste. These differences can be from the different provinces where they originated from and were made. I grew up eating savory Cantonese joong with pork belly, Chinese sausage, salted egg yolks, and peanuts/chestnuts. I remember my grandma would be sitting on a stool with all the ingredients lined up around her and she would spend many hours wrapping joong. As a kid, I would sit next to her and watch her and occasionally placing some of the filling items in the bamboo leaves as she wrapped it.
We had a lot of fun learning from the master how to wrap joong. It was a struggle to wrap them in the beginning but once we wrapped a few, it became easier and easier. Next year, we'll make them for family and for my grandma to enjoy!

My Chinese neighbor used to make these, and she was always so nice to make extras for us. Had no idea how much work was put into them. Rest In Peace Mrs. Leong.
This video is so heartwarming, I’ve been missing my family so much during this quarantine. I live in SoCal and my family lives in San Francisco. I haven’t been able to visit them since February. Love hearing you guys speaks Cantonese.
I lived in SoCal for a few years during college and after college. After moving back a few years ago, I really appreciate being able to see and spend time with family as often as we do. I hope you are able to visit your family soon once the quarantine eases up!
Just like my grandma would make it! I miss her.
I'm sorry for your loss. Death is one of the if not the hardest thing to think about.
"He's been feeding me unwashed pork belly." I bet he still hears about this ever so often. LOL
😅😅😅
Jason’s popo is so adorable. Gotta carry on tradition!
Yes she is! 😁 We are determined to make it again this year and hopefully make joong that she can be proud of!
She reminds me of my mother. thank
Thank you for sharing this traditional zongzi, it's very important for the younger generation to continue this.
Just to let you know that it wasn't a 'critter' that you found (@ 2:38). It was the end part of each leaf. If you open the bamboo leaves package, you will see inside it, 'the critters' are inside the plastic package :) Nevertheless, your grandma is right we still need to wipe the leaves down.
Watched my mum and aunt make these all day yesterday though they wrap it slightly differently and have Chinese five spice powder in theirs...your grandma reminds me of the "clothes making grandma" from my ancestral village.
Awww, your grandma is super cute! It reminds me of my grandma 😕
warmed my heart watching this.
Loved the video!
Aww reminds me of my grandma.
Same
I just started following your TH-cam channel. I love what you're doing and it was really sweet to see Jason learn how to wrap Joong with his Grandma!
We had such a great time learning from her. Thank you for the support!
Great video. Brings back memories with my mom. Thank you!!
What precious memories you are sharing with popo! Even if I don't ever learn to make it as perfectly as my grandma, I still enjoyed watching her when I was growing up. I so wished I had the opportunity to film her while she was still here. I'm hoping to try to make joong for new year's and I'm going on memories and the help of the internet.
The Insta-pot is your friend, whether it's for boiling the leaves, or cooking the finished product. Sadly, it won't wash things.
Haha love it! This is like asian grandmas. You try following them and boom, suddenly their done and you're still on step one haha. Does your grandma give you proper recipes or like random made up measurements that you'll never be able to recreate?
That’s exactly what happened lol I have asked her many times on how to cook certain dishes and it’s always, “Add a little bit of this and that and that’s it.” Measurements aren’t ever given and I just have to try to make it with trial and error haha
I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Byron Zeke Instablaster =)
@Alejandro Alejandro I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Alejandro Alejandro It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
Thanks for uploading this. Zhong is my favorite comfort food.
Man, this video will become so extremely valuable the day she passes. Make sure you have backups upon backups of this!
支持婆婆！未睇先like
Such a cute video! I never knew the long process of making the joongs, so interesting to watch! Plus it was sooo delicious I want more now 🤤 can’t wait for next year hehehe
My boys are half Cantonese and they loved this sticky rice wrapped.. I want to learn how to make it wish you guys have the ingredients up..
My grandma would always make a lot of these every time we visit her in the new year.
Aw, that’s awesome! That’s one of the best things about grandmas-they always have good food ready for you! 🙂

Reminds me of my auntie, you will always be 10 steps behind the teacher. They be fast y'all.
True that!
Not having access to my Grandma, I liked spending sometime with yours!
That’s so kind of you to say! We’ll be sure to let Popo know ☺️
Thank you very much for the video
You are very welcome!
Grandma's zhongzi looks the best !!! The rest of you need remedial lessons ! I just use a rice cooker with these ingredients and call it a day. I wonder if I can layer those leaves atop my rice cooker just to get the aroma ???
"No...! yew sai ah" ..."ma ma day le" hahahaha so cute!
LOL your grandma though, she’s a gangsta, trespassing and showing you how to hop a fence 💯
Jason and Angie She is pretty gangsta 😂 You know what they say...家有一老 如有一寶 Haha grandparents are 💎 It was wonderful to see you both making jongs with her! Gotta learn all the recipes so they don’t get lost! Thanks for sharing 😆
Yeah, grandparents soooo precious! Thanks for watching, and we’ll do our best to keep the traditions and recipes alive 😬
This video made me smile and laugh. I love how the dad comes in and throws in his two cents, lol, reminds me of my husband. I need to know what the name of the pot is that you cooked in and where you bought it. I need it lol
A
Great time with your Grandmother enjoy all the time with her I miss mine she was a Greek version of yours always cooking ,Greeks do a similar thing we stuff the grape leaves .I really enjoyed this video ,may your grandmother live many years past 100 (PS .write down all her recipes )
That is so wonderful of you to say! We’re doing our best to take down her recipes. We know we’ll cherish them in the future.
I think we’ve tried the food you’re talking about that’s wrapped in grape leaves. What are they called again?
@@jasonandangie7730 Dolmathes or Yaprakia the Turks call them Yaprak Dolmas
@@jasonandangie7730 I love your sight its very entertaining and informative ,and it getting me through being social distancing .Thank you !!!or Seshshe Seshshe
Your grandma is so stinkin cute. Reminds me of mine! I can only understand half of what she is saying but I am curious to try these types of sticky rice! We only make with pork belly and mung bean
Thank you! We'll let Popo know you said that 🙂! Some quick service dim sum restaurants sell these. We hope you'll be able to try them soon.
thank you for uploading. I want to make some today and thought it would be easy to figure out the leaf wrapping part... NOPE.
It definitely takes a little practice to get the shape and the right tightness! Keep trying. You can do it! 🙌🏼
Chicken? Chicken? She doesn't deserve to eat!😂 Blasphemy!
Your popo is so much like mine.🥰
Also, is that 30 mins or 3 hours cooking time?
More videos with popo please. Chinese grandmas are all the same, laughing at their foreign-born grandkids that don't know how to do stuff.
Haha pretty much! They teach us how to laugh at ourselves and not be so serious 😅
is that just a regular american style stove? That looks like way more firepower! Also? Just found your channel; I was a bad chinese american kid and never really learned to speak cantonese well. Hearing the language warms my heart. I hope there's more vids with Jason's g-ma in your video history!
I’m not sure where my dad got the stove but it does have a lot of firepower. Absolutely, we plan on making more videos with Popo!
i like self marinate pork with pepper and some salt and put it in raw also use that yellow mung bean i hate peanuts and water chest nut and salted egg when finished left over or when cooled u can slice use frying pan u can use oil or margerin or butter on frying pan and make it crispy both sides and eat it dip it lightly in fish sauce or soya sauce
Hello!! I would reaaally want to know which version of the Instant Pot you are using in your video, and what size it is?? That’s the exact size Im looking to purchase, but Im not sure which model and size it is when I am picking on Amazon... thank you so much!! 🙏
How much cooking time on the stove?
TAMALES!!
chinese pork sausage is kinda sandy when you touch it
This is great! This is so close to how my PohPoh and YeeMa use to make, from what I remember anyways. I wish I was smart enough to have grabbed the old camcorder to video them making food. They use to make this other type of joong, it's basically like this, but the rice was not mushy it was harder?! I don't know if it was different type of rice or was cooked less time?! I think it was called Jeng Mai Joong. Did your family every make that? I hope I explained it ok. I've never seen it made anywhere else. It can't just be my family that made it?!
It’s always heartwarming to hear this video reminds viewers of joong their family used to make! We’re glad it brought back memories of how your PohPoh and YeeNa made them ☺️.
I’ve never heard of Jeng Mai Joong and don’t recall eating it, BUT I happen to be with my mom right now and asked her. She immediately knew what it was! And she said my grandmothers used to make them and confirmed the rice is not as soft.
We hope you get to eat some tasty joongs this coming holiday!
@@jasonandangie7730 Thanks for the response and great to hear the confirmation! Does your Mom knows what kind of rice?
Wash all things for safety sake
we all like to mark down which one we made and then eat it, hahah
Absolutely! It tastes better when you make it... sometimes haha 😆
Hello! I just subscribed. Can you guys show us how to make Chinese style lobster- ginger and onion :) Thank you!
Hello! I have yet to make that, but my dad makes that dish really delicious. I will have to consult him on how to do that and get that video made!
Why aren't they triangular?
different wrapping method
24 hours of work and only 5 minutes to eat it
fact!
It’s like play dough video, didn’t really show grandma how to wrap’ chung’ or show the recipe . Waste time.
