I remember when my family was a child in the village, almost every family would grow their own rice. Besides the rice used for daily use, some glutinous rice would also be planted, because glutinous rice can be used to make many delicious foods. In my hometown, every time I went to Tomb-Sweeping Day, almost every family would cook colorful glutinous rice. The practice is also very simple, that is, soak glutinous rice in water for one night, drain the water in glutinous rice the next day, and then, Then put the drained glutinous rice into a steamer for steaming. In addition, you can add some natural plant pigments to make the steamed glutinous rice have red, yellow, purple and other colors, which are not only beautiful but also delicious.
Of course, in addition to Tomb-Sweeping Day, there is also the Lantern Festival or New Year's Day. People will grind glutinous rice into powder by machine, then mix it with water and knead it into dough, and then they can make glutinous rice balls. Take a small lump of kneaded dough and add stuffing to make a delicious glutinous rice ball. In addition, there is a special food in my hometown, that is, rice distiller's grains, which is to cook glutinous rice and then add yeast to let it ferment. After being left for about a week, it can form a honey juice of rice distiller's grains, which not only has the fragrance of wine, but also has a slight sweetness. It is a very delicious food. Of course, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the rice used for making zongzi is also glutinous rice, and other auxiliary materials can be added to make zongzi with various flavors.
At the same time, glutinous rice can also be used to make glutinous rice chicken, and the method is very simple. Prepare all the prepared ingredients, then put the chicken nuggets, mushroom slices, some side dishes and chopped green onion in a dish for later use, then wash the glutinous rice, take a proper amount of vegetable oil and salt, stir it together, then add a proper amount of water, put it in a pot for half an hour, and steam it until it is cooked. Then take some lotus leaf glutinous rice, spread it on it, and then add the chicken nuggets.
