2025 Tramy Group Handmade Dumpling & Zongzi Skills Competition Successfully Held

In response to the company’s initiative of "promoting learning through competition, strengthening enterprises through skills," the "2025 Tramy Group Handmade Dumpling & Zongzi Skills Competition" kicked off at 1:00 PM on May 14, 2025, in the Shaomai Workshop. The event brought together 10 top competitors each from the Shaomai Workshop and Steamed Bun Workshop 2, eager to showcase their craftsmanship in a fierce yet inspiring showdown.

Pre-Competition Motivation

Vice President and Labor Union Chairman Li Ming, serving as chief judge, rallied the participants: "I hope you’ll bring your daily pursuit of excellence to this arena, letting these traditional delicacies embody your artisan spirit."

Competition Highlights

With the starting signal, contestants dove into their tasks with intense focus. The final results crowned:

Handmade Steamed Bun Group: 1st Zhao Quanfeng, 2nd Hu Huafeng, 3rd Song Yushuang

Zongzi-Making Group: 1st Pan Li, 2nd He Chunhua, 3rd Zhao Wenjing

Zongzi-Making Excellence

Pan Li’s performance stood out. With deft movements, she rolled a reed leaf into a funnel, filled it with glutinous rice and jujube, wrapped it tightly, and secured it with a swift knot—completing 49 zongzi in 10 minutes. Her technique, precise and fluid, turned each piece into a textbook example of tradition.

Steamed Bun Artistry

Zhao Quanfeng’s mastery was equally remarkable. From kneading to shaping, her hands moved with rhythmic precision. Each bun emerged as a symmetrical sphere with 18 uniform pleats resembling wheat ears. In 10 minutes, she crafted 54 buns, each weighing over 100 grams—a testament to her meticulous control.

Craftsmanship in the Modern Era

While Tianzhi Workshop’s machines enable high-efficiency production, handmade steamed buns demand unparalleled artisan dedication. Zhao, who joined Tramy in 2021, evolved from a novice to a champion through relentless practice and mentorship. Her journey—from 3rd place in 2021 to 1st today—epitomizes Tramy’s commitment to skill refinement.

Legacy of Quality

This competition underscores Tramy artisans’ relentless pursuit of perfection. By blending tradition with innovation, they preserve the essence of Chinese culinary heritage while upholding the group’s reputation for excellence. Through such events, Tramy Group continues to nurture craftsmanship, ensuring every product reflects the soul of true artisanry.
