"Zhang Zhuek" - May Festival

Haven't made these for years and we thought it'd be great to let the kids have a go. The Rice Dumpling Festival was on Wednesday 31/5/2006 and DD and DS had fun trying to shape these triangular pyramids (as DS calls them) and securing them without the contents spilling out!
Not knowing much about why we go to so much trouble to make and eat this, I found this link on the web http://www.knowingfood.com/ricezongfest.html Ingredients and shapes differ with each dialect but all so yummy!
The whole process takes a whole 24hrs and this depends how many one makes. We thought we'd make about 60 but in the end, we managed to double it!
All consumed within 24hrs as well!
The kids wld like to do this again and we probably will in a few weeks!
