Step 1

Recently made various zongzi, including eight-treasure zongzi, bean paste zongzi, red sugar sesame paste white rice zongzi, fresh meat zongzi, pickled vegetable meat zongzi, and mushroom meat zongzi. The shapes are the common ones: dragon boat shape, triangular shape, slender cone shape, and quadrangular shape.

Step 2

Clean the chicken wings, remove the feathers on the surface, and cut two knives on both sides to facilitate flavor absorption.

Step 3

Blanch the chicken wings, add 3 slices of ginger, 2 star anise, 4-5 peppercorns, 1 piece of cinnamon, soy sauce, cooking wine, and white sugar, and add water until the wings are almost covered. Use an electric pressure cooker to steam for 10-15 minutes.
