Weekly Cantonese: sik6 zai6 zo2每週廣東話: 食滯咗

🐲Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
Have you had any rice dumplings today?
Remember not to gobble them down too quickly or eat too many. If you overindulge, you might end up with a bad stomachache, and that's no fun!🤪

🐲各位端午節快樂！
你今日食咗粽未呀？
溫馨提示：食還食，唔好食得太急，亦唔好食過量呀，食滯咗就唔好啦！🤪

Meaning: indigestion

意思：消化不良

💡Why is it easy to get indigestion from eating rice dumplings? That's because no matter if it's the rice dumpling with pork or the alkaline water rice dumpling, the main ingredient is glutinous rice, which is not easily digested.

💡點解食粽易食滯？因為無論係鹹肉粽定鹼水粽，主要材料都係糯米，糯米唔容易消化㗎。

😋What else is wrapped inside a rice dumpling?

For rice dumpling with pork, the filling usually consists of fatty pork, dried mushrooms, salted egg yolks, dried shrimps and dried scallops.
For alkaline water rice dumpling, it can be served plain, or it can be filled with red bean paste or lotus seed paste. (Soaking the glutinous rice in alkaline water before wrapping the dumpling makes the rice more chewy.)

😋粽入面仲包咗啲乜？

鹹肉粽：肥豬肉、冬菇、鹹蛋黃、蝦米、瑤柱等。
鹼水粽：入面可以唔包餡，或者包紅豆蓉、蓮蓉。（用鹼水浸糯米可以令糯米更煙韌）
