Many people like to eat sticky rice, but most people don't know how to make it with maple leaves.
Let me share it with you below.
Have fresh maple leaf branches ready.
Pull down the maple leaves with your hands.
Hammer the maple leaves into pieces.
Put the hammered maple leaves into the pot.
Add water and knead until the maple leaves are very finely chopped.
Then wring the maple leaves dry and remove the maple leaf residue.
Put the maple juice into a pot and bring to a boil.
After boiling, add 250 grams of glutinous rice, stir, let cool and soak for about an hour.
Strain the glutinous rice. After the glutinous rice is soaked and turns black, pour the glutinous rice into the steamer.
Turn on high heat and steam until cooked.
Glutinous rice is a common ingredient in our lives. It is translucent and sticky. Glutinous rice is used to make rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. The Zhuang people in Guangxi, my country, have always eaten glutinous rice as their staple food. The yield of glutinous rice here is not high, but It is extremely glutinous and is often made into various snacks. Among the many delicacies, five-color glutinous rice has always been famous. It is made with five natural dyes. It is colorful, bright and attractive, and natural. Pigments are harmless to the body and have certain benefits. Every year during the Qingming Festival, March 3rd and Dragon Boat Festival, the Zhuang and Buyi people must make five-color glutinous rice. Every household eats it and uses it to worship their ancestors and pray for their blessings. The grain is plentiful and the weather is good.
