The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and everyone's enthusiasm for eating rice dumplings has gradually risen. Many friends told me that I always wanted to try to make rice dumplings at home, but I just couldn't wrap them. In fact, zongzi does not have to be wrapped, we can use bamboo tubes to make bamboo tube zongzi. I remember when I was a child in school, there was always an old man selling bamboo dumplings at the school gate. Because his sign always said bamboo tube cake, and I saw this food for the first time, I didn't know that it was actually zongzi inside, and I always thought it was a very special and magical food. In my eyes at the time, bamboo tube rice dumplings were really a very novel and very fun delicious food.
I like to watch the process of uncle prying open the bamboo tube, then putting on the stick, and taking out the rice dumplings, which feels particularly healing. Even if I don't buy it, I can stand there and watch uncle get it for an hour, which is very fun. At that time, the bamboo tube rice dumplings seemed to be a dollar a piece, but I was still reluctant to buy it, and a dollar was quite expensive at that time. Later, the price of bamboo tube rice dumplings became more and more expensive, sold to 3 yuan 1 stick, I finally bought one, a taste, this is not rice dumplings. Only then did I know that the so-called "bamboo tube cake" is actually a rice dumpling "wrapped" with a bamboo tube.
Ordinary rice dumplings are packed with bamboo tubes, it seems to become very different, this is also a marketing method, anyway, children must like it. And the bamboo tube rice dumplings are also more suitable for people who do not wrap rice dumplings, and the rice can be boiled in the bamboo tube, eliminating the process of packaging, making the rice dumplings more simple to make. Therefore, friends who do not wrap rice dumplings and want to make their own rice dumplings can try to make bamboo tube rice dumplings. In fact, it is also very good to make bamboo tube rice dumplings to set up stalls. Now it is around the Time Of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zongzi must have selling points, and bamboo tube Zongzi will be more liked by children, low cost and high profit, do not need any utensils, at home to do a good job to sell it, bamboo tube can also be used repeatedly, not wasted.
