How to make red bean rice dumplings:
Preparation: Soak the red beans in cold water for more than 8 hours in advance and soak the glutinous rice 4 hours in advance (if you like a firmer texture, you don’t have to soak the glutinous rice) ), then mix them together and set aside (the red beans must be completely soaked to make them easier to cook)
Soak the rice dumpling leaves in advance and wash them clean, and cut the cotton thread into the length required for bandaging and set aside (fresh rice dumpling leaves are not harvested) It is very clean. Boiling it in advance can sterilize and clean it better. Moreover, the rice dumpling leaves will become softer and more flexible, making it easier to wrap. However, some people think that the fragrance of the cooked leaves will be slightly weaker, so it is better not to cook them. Yes, it depends on what you like~)
Making rice dumplings: Roll up the rice dumpling leaves into a funnel shape (if it is not big enough, you can overlap two rice dumpling leaves)

Cooking the rice dumplings: After the water boils, add the wrapped rice dumplings, and the water should be soaked For the rice dumplings, wait for the water to boil again and cook for more than 2-3 hours, then turn off the heat and simmer for a while until cooked (I use an electric pressure cooker, which is also boiled under boiling water, and it will take about 45 minutes, and it will take about 45 minutes. Simmer for a while), the cooking time should be adjusted according to the overall amount and the utensils used.
