How to make five-color glutinous rice?

Wash a handful of yellow flowers, add water that can cover 500g meters in the pot, boil the yellow flowers for 5- 10 minutes, boil yellow juice, filter and discard the flower residue, wait for the juice to cool for a while, feel a little hot, about 50 degrees, add completely dry glutinous rice (wash the rice one day in advance, then let it dry thoroughly), so as not to affect the color dissolution, and stir evenly.

Yellow juice

This is purple grass and the dyed color is red. The steps are the same as those of yellow flowers, but it is best to cook in an oil-free iron pan, and the color will be stronger.

Red juice

Purple juice

The appearance of red and blue grass is similar to that of purple and blue grass, one is fluffy and the other is smooth. I forgot to take a picture this time, and the method is the same. This color is best cooked in an iron pan.

Mash the maple leaf, air dry it slightly, add a certain amount of water and soak it for a day and a night. If you have time, you can burn the juice of the maple leaf in a cast iron pot once a day and rub it with your hands while it is hot. ) filter out the juice, heat it in an oil-free iron pan, turn off the fire, pour the maple leaf juice into the pot, pour it out again, and repeat for three times. This is to prevent the rice from blackening when the water temperature is too high. When the water temperature is 50 degrees, soak the dried glutinous rice overnight, mix some oil the next day and steam for 40 minutes. (glutinous rice will be gray before steaming and will turn black after steaming)

yellow

red

The color of the soaked rice will be heavier and it will look better after steaming!

Black is gray before steaming, but don't worry, it will turn black after steaming.

Steamed black! !

skill

Don't stick oil when making black utensils!

Never cook black juice! !

Cooked glutinous rice can be frozen in the refrigerator, taken as you eat, fried or steamed.
