Ingredients: 500g glutinous rice flour, 360ml water, 400g brown sugar (or sugar flakes), red dates (for decoration, can also be made into jujube shreds or jujube paste), bananas Leaves (you can leave them out if you don’t have them)

Method:

1. Sieve the glutinous rice flour and set aside.

2. Wash and dry the fresh banana leaves, and cut them into sizes that match the mold.

3. Add 400g of brown sugar to 360ml of water and boil to dissolve (the cooked sugar water is exactly 500ml), then let cool.

4. After the sugar water has cooled, pour 500ml of brown sugar water into the glutinous rice flour. Mix it with a spoon while pouring it in. When the flour slurry is slightly firm, slowly knead the flour slurry into a dough with your hands.

5. Line the inside of the cake pan with banana leaves (it is best to surround the banana leaves so that they are half higher than the batter, because they will rise when steamed). Spread a little oil on the banana leaves (or inside the mold). Pour the batter into a greased cake pan or mold.

6. Put it in a steamer and steam it over high heat for more than 2 hours.

7. After the rice cake is ready, put it into the bamboo cage prepared to hold the rice cake. Decorate it with a few red dates or a pair of oranges, and stick festive blessing characters on the outside of the bamboo cage, and you're done.

The most common way to eat brown sugar rice cake: cut it into pieces and eat it as is; or put the rice cake pieces in a pan and fry them lightly on both sides until golden brown. Of course, it will be even more delicious when dipped in egg liquid and fried.

Tips:

1. Use a plate as big as a 6-inch round mold to make the right amount. When steaming rice cakes, you should pay attention to the signs of rising gradually. It is best to use a plate with a smaller diameter. This kind of deep plate has a better steaming effect than a flat plate.

2. The steaming time depends on the size of the plate you use. To know whether the cake is cooked or not, you need to insert chopsticks into the cake and take it out. If the chopsticks are not stained with flour paste, it means the cake is cooked. I heard from people of the older generation that rice cakes taste chewier if they are steamed longer, so I think it is better to steam them longer than to under-cook them.

3. When frying rice cakes, there must be a gap between the rice cakes, because the rice cakes will stick together when heated. And if you wrap the rice cake in egg liquid and fry it, it won't stick.

3. Because of the glutinous rice Due to differences in the water absorption of rice flour, it is common for the cake body to be dry. Based on feedback from kitchen friends and multiple adjustments, the ratio of sticky rice flour, glutinous rice flour and water is now adjusted to 10:4:7, hoping to make it more operable. .

The dryness and humidity of the powder is the key to success. When kneading the powder, it is appropriate to have a small amount of powder sticking to the palm of your hand.
