Hello, I want to ask about the whole process of steamed rice with lotus leaves. How to do it?

In my spare time, I especially like to stir up all kinds of delicious food at home. Recently, I tried lotus leaf rice. If I want to make delicious lotus leaf rice, I still need to pay attention to a few details. First of all, rice must be fragrant and soft. So be sure to soak glutinous rice and rice before cooking. I usually start soaking the night before!

the second point is the side dishes. The side dishes are whatever you like, which are completely prepared according to your personal taste. I generally follow the principle of "double the nutrition with meat and vegetables", put my favorite carrots and corn kernels, as well as pork belly and fresh shrimp. You can also play freely in the choice of side dishes.

A fragrant and soft lotus leaf rice, with sweet sausage, mellow mushrooms, fresh and tender shrimps, carrots and corn kernels, is a satisfaction!
