First of all, you need to wash a proper amount of glutinous rice and soak it in clear water for 12 hours. You can also copy it with boiling water and drain it before steaming glutinous rice.
Prepare a big wooden barrel, pour the glutinous rice into a pot with water in the wooden barrel, cover it and steam for about 40 minutes. The glutinous rice can be steamed until it is soft. If there is no wooden barrel, it can be steamed directly in the pot. Nowadays, many families use electric pressure cookers and rice cookers, which can directly wash the glutinous rice and steam it in the rice cooker, just like cooking at ordinary times.
Steamed glutinous rice is poured into a stone mortar, and it can be collapsed vigorously until it is dough-like. Here, we must pay attention to the rapid collapse of glutinous rice while it is hot, and keep turning it by hand. The lower the temperature, the more laborious it is to collapse, and the collapse of rice cakes is a very hard work.
After it collapses, it will be like dough. Pour it into a container, press it flat, cool it and cut it into pieces, so that the rice cake is ready.
The smashed rice cake can be cut into small pieces while it is hot and dipped in white sugar, or eaten with sesame noodles, which is particularly fragrant. When cooking rice wine, cut the cooled rice cake into small pieces that are the size of fingers and put them into rice wine, which is also a delicious snack.
We can also eat fried rice cakes, cut them into chopstick-thick slices, put a proper amount of rapeseed oil into the pot, boil them, fry them until both sides are golden, and then take them out of the pot, sprinkle with white sugar. Those who don't like sweets can sprinkle with sesame noodles, which is a special fragrance and a special food.
It should be noted that the steamed glutinous rice should collapse while it is hot. In the process of collapse, you should keep turning with your hands, and your hands will get wet when turning. You can prepare a basin of clear water, and then turn it when your hands are wet.
