Problem description:

Is the rice cake made of rice flour or glutinous rice flour? Why do many people say it is made of glutinous rice? My family has made it before and said it is made of rice.

Analysis:

Generally, glutinous rice is the main component of rice cakes. Please see the practice:

The practice of rice cake

Making tools: juicer, iron basin, flour bag, container, cellophane, measuring cup, measuring spoon,

Ingredients: banana oil, osmanthus sauce, brown sugar, round glutinous rice.

Practice:

Pour three cups of round glutinous rice into the basin, wash it with clear water several times until the water is clear. After washing and soaking, it must be soaked for about eight hours, so that the rice is fully soaked. After draining the water, it must be washed again.

Put the washed and soaked rice into the blender several times, add appropriate amount of water to every two spoonfuls of rice until the rice grains are completely beaten into rice paste, then pour them into the flour bag, tie the bag mouth tightly with a rope, and squeeze out some water by hand first.

Then put it in two layers of thick wooden boards, add the weight of a bucket of water on it until the rice slurry is completely dehydrated, put the dehydrated powder slurry into a big basin, knead it into pieces, and add two or three drops of spices such as banana oil or osmanthus sauce according to your personal taste.

Add three and a half cups of brown sugar, stir the powder paste evenly by hand or blender to become sticky, pour it into a cellophane-paved container and scrape it into a large basin with a scraper, so that it can be put into an electric cooker and steamed with a bowl of water. The electric cooker can also be surrounded by wet towels to avoid steam leakage, and steam it for about an hour until the chopsticks are not stained with powder.

In addition, you can also use traditional steamer, but you must always pay attention to adding cold water to the water in the outer pot at any time to avoid danger. After about an hour, the sweet rice cake can be served.

After the sweet rice cake is cooled and hardened, it must be carefully coated with edible oil to prevent mildew.
