6. Use about 1/10 kg. of rice and 6 dates for each dumpling. The dates must be covered by the rice so that they won't lose too much syrup in cooking.6. 每个粽子里包约100克糯米和6个枣，枣要用米裹好以防止蒸煮时糖分的流失。

This helps make sure that the ingredients are well cooked.7. 将叶子向上折盖住漏斗开口的一面，然后将剩余的叶子旋转，像带子一样紧贴并且裹住漏斗，注意要裹的松紧适度，以便里面的原料能被充分蒸煮。
