Prepare the ingredients. 600 grams of glutinous rice and 300 grams of red dates. (It is best to choose round-shaped glutinous rice, so that it tastes softer and glutinous.)

Wash the glutinous rice and add a small amount of water. Place in a steamer and steam over high heat for 25 minutes. (Due to time constraints, I did not soak the glutinous rice in advance. If you have soaked the glutinous rice in advance, the amount of water will be reduced accordingly when steaming.)

After steaming, use chopsticks to stir the glutinous rice until it becomes sticky, then cover the pot and steam for 20 minutes. Finally, turn off the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. The glutinous rice is ready.

Find a heavy object to compact the cake. (Because I couldn’t find a suitable size heavy object, I put some water in a plastic bag and pressed it on the cake. The effect was good.)

When eating, put some water on the knife, and then you can easily cut the cake. (After refrigeration, sprinkle some sugar to eat, it will taste better~)
