When it comes to glutinous rice, everyone is familiar with it. In some places in the south, glutinous rice is also called Jiangmi, which is a kind of food that people often eat. Because of its appearance and taste, it is often used to make many different kinds of flavor snacks, such as our most common Ciba, rice cakes, and a dessert made of glutinous rice in some places on holidays. Glutinous rice has really become one of the main foods of the festival. It is a traditional custom to eat Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the raw materials of Yuanxiao are also made of glutinous rice.

The production of glutinous rice flour is not as complicated as expected. The tools for grinding rice do not need stone mills and donkeys, but can be done in minutes with a household mixer.

Method of making glutinous rice flour by ourselves (brief introduction)

Ingredients: a packet of glutinous rice flour.

1 and glutinous rice flour 1 are packed in a large bowl and the surface is shaken flat.

2. Poke some holes with chopsticks.

3. Seal the plastic wrap

4. Put in a steamer and steam for 20-30 minutes on high fire.

5, out of the pot, cool

6. Pick up the powder with chopsticks.

Because it is cooked and eaten at once, the amount of water milling powder does not need a lot, and it is enough to weigh a catty of glutinous rice every time. Soak glutinous rice in water overnight until it is crushed by a pinch, filter off the water, and put the glutinous rice with enough water in a blender for grinding. The fineness of the powder depends on the length of grinding time. Sew a gauze bag bigger than your face, pour water powder into the bag and seal it. Squeeze the bag with both hands to squeeze out excess water. Take the water mill powder out of the bag and put it in a big bowl to dry. The water squeezed out before must not be wasted. It should be collected in a big basin. When it is slowly clarified, the precipitated white material is the most delicate layer of water mill powder.

Warm reminder: The flour we use to make glutinous rice balls is not directly processed glutinous rice flour, but milled rice flour is precipitated in the last working procedure of the production process. We should ensure a certain humidity, do not need to air it very dry, and keep it in a state where it can become a dough. The taste is sweet and sticky, and the elasticity of QQ makes you feel like melting when you eat it in your mouth.

Health tips: Glutinous rice is mild and can be eaten as a health tonic, but people with gastric acid digestion and intestinal discomfort should eat it in moderation.
