Zongzi (tsung-tsee; Chinese: 粽子ⓘ), rouzong (Chinese: 肉粽; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: bah-càng), or simply zong (Cantonese Jyutping: zung2) is a traditional Chinese rice dish made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves (generally of the species Indocalamus tessellatus), or sometimes with reed or other large flat leaves. They are cooked by steaming or boiling.[3] People in the Eastern world often translate this dish into English as rice dumplings or sticky rice dumplings, although the Chinese government has registered Zongzi as the formal name in global use.[4]
