Hey there, food explorers! 🍽️ Have you ever tasted a zongzi (pronounced “zong-zee”)? It’s a yummy sticky rice dumpling that’s traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival in China. But guess what? This year, something super cool is happening! 🌟
A restaurant in Beijing is giving the classic zongzi an exciting makeover inspired by Xinjiang (a region in northwest China). They’ve created the yogurt zongzi! 🎉
So, what’s inside this cool treat? Imagine sticky rice mixed with thick, creamy homemade yogurt. Then, they add sweet honey and delicious dried fruits like raisins and apricots. 🍯🍇 It’s like a fruity, tangy surprise in every bite!
This special zongzi is served chilled, making it a perfect snack for a hot day. ☀️ It’s a fun fusion of traditional flavors and new ideas. Plus, it’s inspired by the tastes of Hotan, a city in Xinjiang known for its tasty fruits and dairy treats.
Hosts Leonie and Julian got to try the yogurt zongzi, and they loved it! Maybe one day you’ll get to taste this awesome snack too. Until then, why not try making your own creative treats at home? Cooking can be a fun adventure! 🍳
Happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone! 🐉🚣♀️ Enjoy exploring new flavors and traditions!
