每到端午节,大家都要吃zongzi(粽子),也就是rice dumplings wrapped in leaves,虽然这一天全国各地的人们都要吃粽子,但因为地方饮食习惯和风俗的不同,粽子也各具风格,一起来看看吧!
北京粽子
In Beijing, they are most commonly stuffed with a candied or dried jujube, the dried Chinese red date. Some zongzi are left plain, to be dipped into sugar. Other places in North China replace glutinous rice with glutinous yellow millet, and these days, some folks replace white glutinous rice with purple rice.
北京粽子通常会以dried Chinese red date(红枣)作馅,有些粽子本身不加调料,吃的时候蘸糖吃。华北一些地方的人用glutinous yellow millet(黄黍)代替糯米来制作粽子,还有一些地方的人用的是紫米。
广东、福建和广西的粽子
In some parts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces, and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, people soak the glutinous rice in alkaline water, which gives the rice a honey-colored glaze and a softer texture.
在广东、福建和广西壮族自治区的一些地方,人们会把糯米浸在alkaline water(碱水)里,这样糯米就会变成蜜黄色,质地也会更柔软。
