3. Remove the roots from the rice dumplings leaves.

4. Drain the pinto beans and sorghum rice and mix them together.

5. Take two pieces of rice leaves and overlap them. (If the zongzi leaf is large, one piece will suffice)

7. Add appropriate amount of rice and compact it. (Beginners must not put too much rice)

8. Use your left thumb to press the left side of the funnel shape inward.

9. Press the right side of the funnel shape inward as well.

10. Make sure to press your left thumb tightly.

11. Move the upper leaves downwards to cover the surface.

12. When the leaf is pressed to the position of your left thumb, release your left thumb. Use the palm of your left hand to press down on the left side of the leaf.

13. Use your right hand to press down the right side of the covering leaf.

14. Flatten the leaves and wrap them around the rice dumpling counterclockwise.

15. Tie the wrapped rice dumplings with horseweed. Be sure to tie it up early.

16. Wrap all the dumplings one by one. Put the rice dumplings directly into the cooking pot.
