To brand them bouncy... only add Boric Acid/Borax (pang sar), a type of additive for many types of comercially prepared foods together with it tin also brand fishballs bouncy. My mom told me that my maternal grandmother used to seat this into all her zongzi together with they lasted for weeks w/o referigeration.
