What is bak chang and why do we eat them?

Bak chang (or zongzi in Chinese) is a pyramid-shaped glutinous rice with pork belly and other savoury fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The Dragonboat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month on the lunar calendar, commemorates the death of Qu Yuan – a poet in China’s Warring States period. According to folklore, he drowned himself in a river to warn the people about an impending invasion. People made bak chang and threw them in the river in the hopes that the fish would not eat his corpse. Today, bak chang continues to be a staple during the Dragonboat Festival.

How to wrap bak chang?

One of the most skill-intensive steps when learning how to make bak chang is the wrapping. So get ready those nimble hands and learn how to use bamboo leaves to wrap a bak chang with the video above.

How long can bak chang be kept?

Bak chang are usually made in large batches and can be enjoyed for up to three days when kept refrigerated. If you want to keep it for a longer period, store it in the freezer and it can be kept for up to two months. Simply steam it or boil in water for five to eight minutes to reheat them.
