Ingredients

1 lotus root, 50 grams of glutinous rice, 20 grams of white sugar, 50 grams of brown sugar, 10 grams of dried red dates

5. Put water in the pot to be level with the lotus roots, add red and white sugar, add dried quince, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat for an hour.
