Sticky rice dumplings, also known as "zongzi" or 粽子 in simplified Mandarin, are eaten for Dragon Boat Festival. They are made of glutinous, sticky rice, wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, and steamed or boiled.

The fillings can vary, depending on location. Some common fillings include: mung bean, read bean, meat (sausage or pork), mushrooms, jujubes, or taro.
