Yellow rice noodles and red dates rice cake

Ingredients: 3 pounds of yellow rice noodles and 2 pounds of red dates.

Specific methods:

1. When making rice cakes, the ratio of noodles to red dates is 3:2, but you don’t have to stick to this ratio. If you don’t like dates, add less. . Don’t choose red dates that are too big. Jujubes that are thick and sweet are most suitable, and the price is also affordable.

2. Let me show you the yellow rice noodle. It looks a little white. This is a normal phenomenon. Once it is steamed, the golden color will come out.

3. Clean the red dates and prepare them for boiling. It is best to remove the small hard stem of the red dates, otherwise it will irritate the stomach.

4. Put the red dates in a pot under cold water and cook until the dates are swollen and the skin of the dates breaks when touched. Regardless of whether the red dates you buy are dry or wet, they must be cooked to this level.

5. After the red dates are cooked, cover the steamer with a layer of cabbage leaves to prevent sticking, pour half of the red dates in and spread them flat, then cover the pot and steam over high heat.

6. Then we prepare the yellow rice noodles. Put the yellow rice noodles into a large bowl and pour in room temperature water while stirring. The water must be poured in slowly and stir quickly until there is no obvious dry powder. Stop pouring water.

7. At this time, the yellow rice noodles will clump slightly. Take the lumped yellow rice noodles into your hands and rub them into powder.

8. As long as there are no obvious lumps in the yellow rice noodles. What state did yellow rice noodles reach in the end? If you pick up a handful and squeeze hard, it will form into a ball, but if you push it a little, it will loosen up again.

9. The yellow rice noodles have been prepared with water, and the water in the pot has boiled. The time is well used. Pour half of the yellow rice noodles in, spread it out, cover the pot, and steam for about 20 minutes.

10. If it feels difficult to cook if it is too thick, you can use chopsticks to poke some small holes and use the heat to rise. After about 20 minutes, open the lid of the pot and prick it with chopsticks a few times. If the chopsticks come out without sticking, it means it is steamed and you can proceed to the next step. Continue to spread a layer of red dates, cover the pot, and steam for a few more minutes. After the red dates are steamed, continue to spread the yellow rice noodles. This is conducive to the integration of red dates and yellow rice noodles.

11. Cover the pot and continue steaming for about 20 minutes. To judge whether it is cooked or not, it is more reliable to pierce it with chopsticks. If the chopsticks are clean when you lift the chopsticks, it means you can turn off the heat.

12. Place the steamed rice cake upside down on the chopping board while it is still hot, remove the cabbage leaves while it is still hot, then let it cool, and then cut it into pieces. You have the final say whether you want to cut it into strips or cubes. .

13. After the steamed rice cakes are cooled and cut into pieces, they can be put into food bags, tied tightly, stored in the refrigerator, and then steamed until soft when eaten again.

There are words in the poem:

1. Rice cake is delicious but not easy to digest, so it is better to eat less at a time and not to be greedy, especially for the elderly and children with weak digestive ability. Need more attention. Young children should not eat rice cakes, as they may be dangerous if they are too sticky, so remember.

2. When steaming rice cakes, do not frequently open the lid of the pot, as this will affect the maturity of the rice cakes.

3. The rice cake will harden after cooling, and it will also lose its stickiness as it hardens. This is a normal phenomenon. The stickiness can be restored as long as it is steamed again until soft.
