1. Wash red dates and soak them in cold water for at least 3 hours or overnight (need to be refrigerated in the refrigerator).

2. Cut a hole in the soaked jujube with a knife and carefully take out the jujube core. Glutinous rice flour is kneaded into dry dough with proper amount of warm water, then made into glutinous rice flour dough slightly larger than jujube pit, and kneaded tightly in jujube, and the excess part can be removed.

Add 30g of rock sugar (or white sugar) to 3.200ml hot water, add glutinous rice balls and jujube, boil in a boiler and steam for about 10 minute. The jujube will be round and can be eaten both hot and cold.

skill

Chicken heart red dates are best for this side dish, but don't buy dates that are too dry and wrinkled to soak easily, and don't buy dates that have been pitted-they are not fragrant enough.
