It's also interesting to talk about the name of this baked bread. In fact, the pronunciation of the word Zan is pronounced as "zèng", which originally refers to the utensils used by ancient people to steam rice. There is an idiom called "fish", which means to describe poverty and hardship. The cooking utensils at home have long been broken. In Mandarin, this baked cake is called "Zeng cake", but in dialects and folklore, it is actually pronounced as "Zeng cake, which is mistaken for jìng cake".
Anyway, let's share the practice of baking cakes.
-Delicious glutinous rice cake-Preparation materials: long-grain glutinous rice 1 kg, 80g of candied dates or red dates, and 40g of red kidney beans.
Material pretreatment:
Red kidney beans are particularly resistant to soaking, so we soaked them all day in advance;
Before making glutinous rice, soak it in clear water for about 6 hours until there is no obvious white core in the rice grains;
Cut the jujube in half and remove the core. If jujube is not dry enough to be pitted, it can be pitted with steam for 10 minutes.
Start making:
Take a deep flat-bottomed container with the same depth, spread about 200g glutinous rice on the bottom, then spread about 40g red dates on the glutinous rice, spread 100g glutinous rice on the red dates, then spread all 40g red kidney beans, and finally spread all the remaining glutinous rice on it;
Next, slowly add water to this container that has accumulated all the ingredients. The amount of water is basically equal to the top red dates. After adding water, steam the whole container in a pressure cooker for about 1 hour for 20 minutes. After taking it out, use a spoon to rub the jujube on it into jujube paste, and then chop it up and enjoy it.
Overview of related points:
The material of glutinous rice cake is really simple. It is so simple and delicious without adding lard, white sugar and brown sugar in advance, but it is best to choose long-grain glutinous rice, so that the steamed glutinous rice is the taste of glutinous rice cake, not simple glutinous rice. It takes almost a whole night to bake a cake in the old way. We really don't have the energy now. It's more convenient and faster to use a pressure cooker, but the soaking of glutinous rice and red kidney beans can't be saved, or it will taste bad. You can use candied dates or red dates. The sweetness of candied dates is relatively high, and the jujube skin is not easy to eat. It is a convenient choice, and you don't need to be cheated, which can save a lot of trouble. Although the baked rice cake is particularly delicious, it is made of glutinous rice, red dates and beans, so the heat is still very high. Breakfast is best cooked while it is hot, so it is easier to digest and absorb, and it is not easy to get fat.
