You can see this snack in the streets of Shaanxi. It is a delicious glutinous rice cake. It costs 8 yuan money to buy one. In fact, we can do it at home, and we can make a big pot for less than five yuan to satisfy the taste buds of the whole family. First of all, prepare a proper amount of glutinous rice, clean it and soak it in clear water, preferably the night before, so that it can be cooked directly in the morning. Prepare half a bowl of red beans and red dates and soak them in water in advance. You can see that the soaked glutinous rice has become much bigger. You can crush it with your hands and put it aside. Jujube has also been soaked in water and softened. Remove the jujube stones inside, cut them in half in the middle and set them aside for later use. Red beans are full of water and become bigger. First, we wash them with clear water and control the moisture for later use. Then we prepare a big bowl, pour in 80 grams of white sugar, a spoonful of honey and a big bowl of warm water, stir them with a spoon, and melt the white sugar to make sugar water for later use.

Then prepare a larger container, preferably deeper. Spread a layer of glutinous rice on the bottom, and then spread a layer of red dates on the top. Sprinkle a handful of red beans, or add some raisins, and then spread a layer of glutinous rice on it. Generally, you can put two or three layers of glutinous rice and two or three layers of red dates. Until the last layer of jujube is finished, add the prepared sugar water, just before the top layer of jujube, add more water to the pot, put the steaming grate, put the glutinous rice in, boil over high fire and steam for an hour. During steaming, there will be less and less water in the pot. At this time, we can add a proper amount of boiling water from the side of the pot, continue steaming for one hour, and then steam for two hours on medium heat. Remember to add water to the pot in the middle. Oh, the steamed jujube peel will turn black. Crush the jujube with a shovel, and the thick aroma of jujube and glutinous rice comes to the nose. I can't help it, so the saliva stays.

Because of the addition of red beans and red dates, glutinous rice has also become a little red. If you buy it outside, it's packed in a paper snack box, and it costs seven or eight yuan each. At home, you can make a full pot for only a few dollars, and the whole family can't finish it. I learned that I can show my skills every New Year holiday.
