Is it just me or is wrapping zongzi more fun than a 9 to 5 job? Sure, it probably is the novelty or perhaps a new challenge. Something I cannot do but possibly can if I work hard enough to learn. Watch to see if I can conquer this feat of wrapping a zongzi good enough to sell because wrapping even just one is a difficult skill to acquire.

This is awesome. My wife is an expert in (1) preparing the ingredients (2) wrapping & also (3) steaming stages of these Zongzi. We consider ours S.E. Asian (Malaysian, Brunei-an & Singaporean) styles but almost similar. My mom taught me how to wrap these & I actually excelled and did/still do it faster & better. We love to put alotta goodies in it & also wrap vegetarian version. This lady can do it so fast. Just amazing. Love it.

I hope that people reach out to you with other small businesses that you can visit so you can bring us more videos like this. If you don't get many people reaching out then I bet you could reach out to local companies, wikipedia has a "List of companies based in the San Francisco Bay Area" that could be a great place to start.

@Andytizer 5 лет назад

Love the video! Your explanation on how to wrap the zongzi was fantastic even though you didn't do it perfectly! I am jealous as in London we can get a similar dish luo mi ji which is more of a Cantonese dim sum in most restaurants, but zongzi is normally only available in supermarkets but not 'fresh' like this. And I was just in a Chinese supermarket today in London and they are more like £4.50 (or $5.50) for something smaller and not freshly made in store (probably hand made somewhere, but distributed throughout UK. This shop is $3.25 per zongzi is crazy good value, especially with so much pork inside.

@_Wai_Wai_ 2 года назад

The zonzi, I made, are smaller, and we even use 3 leaves, making sure it is tight with no holes.

@BeatTheBush 2 года назад

Might depend on the size of your leaves.

Hey beat the bush, this remind me of the time when I when I graduated from college and wasn't able to find a job for almost a year. Instead of working at a resteraunt that pays really low, I did volunteer works that interested me. I felt like Ive learned alot about how things work and alot about myself. The volunteer work led me to the job I have today that I am happy with that I've been working for 4 to 5 years now.

@jncchang176 5 лет назад

I love you getting out more. Love it. You ever find out why it has to be in such a difficult shape to wrap?

@amyx231 5 лет назад

Wow. They must have tiny margins if the promo is buy 20, get 1 free. Buy 10 get 1 is more reasonable - a family of 5 might eat 10 at dinner. Or maybe a family of 3 for 3 meals. Depending on how hungry you are.

@BeatTheBush 5 лет назад

It's pretty cheap at $3.25 each. Each is enough for 1 adult meal.

@ChirpingMermaid 5 лет назад

Actually, you can put them in the freezer and they last well over a month.

@indigo_died6910 5 лет назад

I'm guessing that their business plan is to sell bulk with lower margins. They can't charge too high on the zong zi but she makes them pretty quick so as long as they get high quantity orders they'll be fine
