Let's take a look at the materials needed to make glutinous rice cakes: some glutinous rice flour, a little flour, a little sugar, a little cooking oil, and sesame seeds if you like.
The practice of glutinous rice cake: firstly, wash glutinous rice and soak it in warm water for several hours. After soaking, put it in a steamer and steam it over high fire. Then put the steamed glutinous rice into a large stone mortar and pound it repeatedly with a wooden stick. Tamping glutinous rice is a job that takes time and physical strength. If you turn it upside down and pound it repeatedly, the dumplings will become very sticky and there will be no rice grains at all. So the basic bus is ready. After tamping, pull the rice cake out of the stone mortar and spread it on the table. Coat the table with cooking oil to prevent sticky rice from sticking to the table. Knead it evenly and divide it into uniform round blocks. Then knead it into a round cake with both hands. Finally, take a big board and press it, and the glutinous rice cake will be ready.
