Raw materials: a catty of rice.

Accessories: 200 grams of flour, 300 grams of milk, 30 grams of sugar, one egg and a proper amount of red dates.

Steps of making rice cakes

Step 1: First, clean the rice, soak it in water for more than five hours (it is best to crush the rice with a pinch), then divide the egg white and yolk into two clean bowls, without adding water or oil (make sure there is no water in the bowls, so it is easier to send it away later).

Step 2: Prepare rice, a little vegetable oil and milk, and put them into a cooking machine to make a fine rice paste (I use milk instead of water in this step, so that the made hair cake is full of fragrance).

Step 3: Then pour out the rice paste, sift in the flour and continue to stir evenly (this step will make the entrance more delicate), then add sugar and beat the egg white several times (you can beat the egg white with chopsticks without an eggbeater, but it is more laborious), and it is best to beat the egg white vertically with chopsticks.

Step 4: First put the beaten half of the egg white into the egg paste and stir it with a shovel for several times (note that stirring is not stirring, and stirring is easy to defoam, so it will not be fluffy later), then pour in the other half of the egg white and continue stirring for several times.

Step 5: Finally, apply a layer of oil to the bottom of the mold (the purpose of applying oil is to prevent the bottom from sticking, which makes it easier to demould), pour in the prepared batter, put in dried red dates or cranberries, steam in the pot for half an hour after boiling, and stew for three minutes after turning off the fire (the purpose of stewing is to make the hair cake fuller), and then you can eat.

Overview of rice cakes

Through the above steps, I believe many people have a deeper understanding of this kind of rice cake. In fact, this kind of hair cake is generally integrated, which means that if you learn this method, you can make jujube hair cakes or other hair cakes later, as long as you pay more attention to the details in the cooking process.
