​What are the methods of making bacon rice dumplings?

It is very common to use bacon to make zongzi. The reason for using bacon is that the oil in the bacon can be integrated into the glutinous rice, so that the whole zongzi will have the aroma of bacon, which will make it taste more fragrant. The difficulty in making zongzi lies in the process of wrapping it, which requires carefulness.
