Some Tasty Breakfast

For breakfast, I normally have oatmeal and some fruit. But this day I was able to have a pretty tasty Chinese breakfast. The plate on the right has some cut-up cucumber and a slice of bread with a fried egg on top. The plate on the left has some sweet rice with egg and veggies mixed in, a couple of Bao Zi’s, a fried thing, and the green thing is called a Zong Zi. One way I heard it described as is a Chinese tamale. Instead of it being wrapped in a corn husk, it’s wrapped in a leaf and tied up with a string. After boiling it for a while, you then untie it and eat the rice (and sometimes meat, if it has some) that’s inside. The rice is very sticky, but tastes great! I read about Zong Zi’s in my Chinese 202 class, so I was pretty excited to eat them when I saw them. As you can tell, I’m a big fan!
