working methods
Pour three cups of round glutinous rice into the basin and rinse it with clear water several times until the water is clear. Be sure to soak for about eight hours after washing, so that the rice can be soaked thoroughly. After drainage, it must be cleaned again.
Put the washed and soaked rice into a blender and stir it for 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 it into a flour bag, tie the bag mouth tightly with a rope, and squeeze out some water by hand first.
Then put it into two thick wooden boards, add the weight of a bucket of water on it until the rice slurry is completely dehydrated, put the dehydrated rice 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 personal taste.
Add three and a half cups of brown sugar, stir the batter evenly by hand or blender into a thick paste, pour it into a container paved with cellophane, scrape it into a large basin with a scraper, then put it into an electric rice cooker and steam it with a bowl of water. The rice cooker can also be enclosed with wet towels to avoid steam leakage and steamed for about an hour until the chopsticks are not stained with powder.
In addition, you can also use a traditional steamer, but you must always pay attention to adding cold water to the water in the outer pot to avoid danger. In about an hour, sweet rice cakes can be served.
