Cut cake, each place practice, ingredients are different. Below, we introduce you to the one made of red dates and glutinous rice. The recipe is very suitable for home making, only need a plastic box, you can make a neat piece of chee gao.

Specific production method

Step one: prepare the ingredients. 600 grams of glutinous rice, 300 grams of red dates. (It is better to choose round grain of glutinous rice, so that the taste is more soft and sticky.)

Step 2: Soak the red dates for 30 minutes and set aside.

Step 3: Clean the glutinous rice and add a small amount of water. Place in a steamer and steam over high heat for 25 minutes. (Because of time constraints, I did not soak the glutinous rice in advance. If the pro soak the glutinous rice in advance, then when steaming, the amount of water should be reduced accordingly Oh.)

Step 4: After steaming, use chopsticks to stir the glutinous rice until it is sticky, then cover the pot with a lid and steam for 20 minutes, and finally turn off the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, the glutinous rice is ready.

Step 5: Put the red dates into the pot and cook for 15 minutes, then fish out and set aside.

Step 6: Take a plastic box and lay a layer of plastic wrap inside. Then, wearing gloves once, spread the glutinous rice evenly on the bottom of the box, as shown in the picture, about 2 centimeters thick can be.

Step 7: Spread a layer of red dates, as shown.

Step 8: Spread another layer of glutinous rice, a layer of red dates, a layer of glutinous rice, until all loaded, the surface of the plastic wrap to cover, as shown.

Step 9: Find a heavy object to compact the cut cake. (Because I didn't find a weight of the right size, I filled a plastic bag with some water and pressed it onto the rice cake.)

Step 10: When it's time to eat, put some water on the knife and then you can easily cut the cake. (Refrigerate and then sprinkle some sugar to eat, taste better oh~)

Tips

You can also use the rice cooker to steam glutinous rice, after steaming, remember to stir for a while to make it sticky.

The second course: date dumplings

To introduce you to a relatively simple four-cornered dumpling package, the filling is red dates and glutinous rice. This package method of rice dumplings in good shape, not easy to leak rice, like the pro must try Oh ~

Specific production method

Step one: prepare the ingredients. 600 grams of glutinous rice, 150 grams of jujubes, the right amount of leaves, cotton thread. (Glutinous rice is best to choose round grain, so that the texture is more viscous also more glutinous.)

The second step: clean and soak the glutinous rice overnight, then drain the water reserve.

Step 3: Clean the leaves of the rice dumplings one by one, and then put them into a pot of hot water to cook for 15 minutes, and then put them into cool water to spare. (Cooked rice dumpling leaves will be more flexible, in the package is not easy to break. In addition, I use fresh leaves. If you use dry rice dumpling leaves, be sure to soak them in advance to soften them before cooking.)

Step 4: Soak the small dates for 1-2 hours in advance, then drain the water and set aside.

Step 5: Start wrapping the dumplings. Take two rice dumpling leaves and cut off the hard corner of one end, as shown in the picture.

Step 6: Lay the two leaves flat and fold them in half, as shown.

Step 7: Fold both ends in half again, as shown.

Step 8: Open the leaves as shown.

Step 9: Fill with two spoons of glutinous rice, as shown.

Step 10: Put in a few dates, as shown. (If you like dates, you can put a few more.)

Step 11: Fill in some more glutinous rice, then spoon again to press the rice firmly. (Be sure to press a little tightly, so that it is easier to pack tightly oh.)

The twelfth step: the other part of the rice dumpling leaves folded over, and then casually pinch down both sides of the rice dumpling leaves, the next rice dumplings will be turned over, as shown in the picture.

Step 13: Fold back the extra section of leaves and pinch down, as shown.

Step 14: Tie the rice dumplings together with string, as shown. (Do not tie too loose, otherwise easy to boil)

The fifteenth step: packaged rice dumplings, put the pot to cook can be. (Cooking date rice dumplings recommended cool water into the pot, the water should be dipped over the surface of the dumplings, high heat boil and then turn to medium heat to cook for 2 hours, and then turn off the fire to simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Do not add raw water during the cooking process. In addition, if it is too much trouble to cook in a regular pot, you can use a pressure cooker to press for 20-30 minutes, and then simmer for a little longer.)
