::Sweet Rice Zong-Zi

* 3 c. glutinous rice
*2.5 t. baking soda
*40 bamboo leaves
*20 pieces of string

Method:

1. Filling: Rinse the rice until the water runs clear then soak it in water for 3 hours; drain. Mix the rice with baking soda. 2. Lengthwise, overlap 2 leaves together and fold them into a conical shape (to use as the wrapper); one end should be longer than the other. Put 3 T. of the filling in the leaves. See below for directions to wrap the Zongzi. Wrap the leaves loosely and tie them with string (filling will expand after cooking). Follow the same step for the other "Zongzi". Place the "Zongzi" in a pot then add water to cover. Bring the water to a boil; turn the heat to low and cook the "Zongzi" for 2.5 hours. Remove and allow to cool. Serve with sugar, syrup or honey.
