Have seen them in stores just thrown in a bin and now we live in the South where they are hard to find, relatives ship them from San Francisco to us thru the mail where they sometimes sit in the sun on the porch untill we return home to claim them. We have never gotten ill from easting them altho they contain fat pork, sausage and eggs. What is the secret or have we just been lucky?
Enjoy your informative site and the receipes, please keep it up.

I have purchased large ones in Chinatown, in Yokohama, that were a whole meal with the eggs and pork and veggies. They were divine! Oh, I want one of them NOW!

Maybe we should have an Edgar Allen Poe Day.

Hi Calvin, you could make our sweet zongzi, which are vegetarian!

Wow, that’s so great that you still have your mom there by your side to guide you as you make the zongzi. Practice makes perfect, so the more you make them, the fast you’ll get!

I am American born Cantonese. I am fortunate that I still have my mom. She is 103 years old. She can’t make the joong. She will tell me how & what to buy to make them. I am very slow in making them. I used at 4-5 bamboo leaves. Where my cousin used only four leaves & makes them much quicker! It’s nice to have a recipe to follow. It gives me a foundation to making joong!

Thank you, Sarah!
It is always a delight to read the stories your family shares with us!
I appreciate your thoughts on the Pandan leaves. You make a very good point!
I’ll head out to pick up some Bamboo leaves to make sure I get the recipe(s) right!
Please take good care – all of you!
