Zongzi is a type of glutinous rice dumpling that contains a variety of savory fillings like mung beans, Chinese sausage, and Chinese Black mushrooms among others. Dubbed as the “Taiwanese tamale”, this rice dumpling is wrapped in bamboo, reed, or other large flat leaves and is either steamed or boiled.
