Red bean rice cakes are divided into two kinds, both of which are sweet. In fact, the practice of red bean rice cakes is a bit troublesome, so everyone likes to buy some outside. China rice cake is made by grinding this kind of rice or glutinous rice into that kind of rice paste, putting the rice paste into a rectangular mold, and then adding washed adzuki beans and other beans, such as big red bean or pea yellow. However, it should be noted that the proportion of adzuki beans must be large, and it is best to use the new beans of that year, so that the beans will ripen quickly and have a stronger sense of sand. Moreover, this red bean must be uncooked raw red bean, and the longer it is steamed, the better, especially if glutinous rice is used to make rice cakes, then the longer it is steamed, the more glutinous the taste of rice cakes will be. After pouring into the mold, it will take us at least one hour to steam the red beans in the pot, so that they can be truly integrated with the rice cake, and the red beans can be broken when they are steamed.
The worse the red beans in the red bean rice cake, the better. The rice cake can be waxy. Many times when we eat the red beans in the red bean rice cake, we will find that the red beans are rotten to the point of melting. When we eat it, it also smells of fine sand, and the rice cake has a strong red bean flavor. We see red bean rice cakes in the market. The ingredients in them are red dates, red beans, big red bean and red dates. Some people put some raisins and medlar in order to make it sweeter, but it is not pure red bean rice cakes. But now some pastry chefs will wrap some different fillings in red bean rice cakes, such as coconut stuffing, milk yellow stuffing and so on, which are sweet and rich in layers.
As for why the red bean rice cake is red in white, when the red one is rice paste, put the cooked red beans in it, so that the red bean rice paste comes out after steaming in the pot, while the white red bean rice cake is white after the rice is fooled. Red red bean rice cakes have a strong bean flavor, while white red bean rice cakes have a strong rice flavor. Red bean rice cake is fragrant, soft and waxy, and tastes particularly good, but it does take time to make it.
