2. Wash 200 grams of rice and soak for about 4 hours. The rice pulp made from soaked rice is more delicate.
3. Put the soaked rice into high-speed blender, add clear water just enough to cover the rice, and mash it into mud for three times. Don't add too much water, or the rice paste will be too thin to make a cake.
4. Pour out the rice slurry, filter it with a strainer, and filter out the big particles. High-speed blender will be more delicate if you play a few more times, so you don't need to filter it.
5. Add100g of wheat starch, 40g of sugar and 3g of yeast and mix well. Wheat starch is added to increase the elasticity of the cake, and other starches can also be used instead. If you accidentally add more water, you can add more wheat starch or flour, stir the rice paste into a thick shape, lift the chopsticks batter and drop it in a straight line, and just keep clicking.
6. Pour the batter into a 6-inch cake mold, cover and ferment for 20 minutes. The bottom of the mold needs to be brushed with oil or padded with oil paper to facilitate demoulding at the back.
7. When the batter is fermented, shell the red dates and cut them into small particles.
8. Here, I also want to teach you a trick to make the surface of the hair cake smooth and watermark-free, and to prevent the water from dripping from the lid. It is to take a big piece of gauze and tighten the lid, so that water vapor will not drip on the surface of the hair cake.
9, the rice paste has been fermented to nearly 2 times the size, put red dates. Fill the pot with enough water, boil it, add rice paste and steam it for 25-30 minutes. The evaporated cake is thick, so you must use a big fire, so that the inside can be cooked thoroughly and not collapse. Soft, sweet and delicious rice cake is ready.
