It is often said that yam has a high nutritional value, so every winter when yam is on the market in large quantities, I will buy some, and the method is also very simple. Peel and cut into pieces to cook porridge or steam it, but the sales volume is not high, because it tastes like potatoes and has no taste. Why is the taste so similar to potatoes, but the price can be seven or eight times higher than potatoes? I'm just curious to check Baidu today.

After investigation, we know that yam is very rich in nutrition, which can benefit kidney qi, strengthen spleen and stomach, and help digestion, especially iron stick yam, which has high medicinal value. Regular consumption can not only improve indigestion caused by weakness of spleen and stomach, but also supplement the middle energizer, benefit qi, improve hearing and eyesight, and enhance immunity. It seems that it is also worth it! If there are old people and children at home, you might as well buy more to eat.

Two days ago, I went to the market and saw that there was a promotion price of only one catty in 5.8 yuan. This is the cheapest yam I have ever bought. How much is a catty in your place? Usually it is eight or nine yuan, and when it is more expensive, it is eleven or two yuan a catty.

The yam bought this time is not directly boiled or steamed as before, but made into glutinous rice cake with yam and red dates, which not only increases the sweet taste, but also enriches the nutrition. After the children eat it, they praise it again and again, which is so delicious, so you can cook it for your family when you have time. The method is simple, and it will be done at first glance. Let's see how to do it.

Yam and jujube glutinous rice cake

Ingredients required for glutinous rice cake with Chinese yam and red dates: 300g of Chinese yam, 8 red dates, glutinous rice flour150g.

Production method:

0 1

Peel and slice yam. Wear gloves when peeling to prevent yam mucus from getting itchy on your hands. Brush the red dates carefully with a small brush.

Steam the processed yam and red dates together in the pot for about ten minutes.

02

While waiting, let's fry glutinous rice flour. Wash the pot, boil the water, pour in the glutinous rice flour, turn on a small fire, and keep stirring with a shovel. When the glutinous rice flour turns from white to slightly Huang Shi, it means it is ripe, and turn off the fire and serve.

03

When the steamed yam is hot, use a spoon to grind it into mud, and add the fried glutinous rice flour. If you like to taste sweeter, you can add a little white sugar at this time, and finally make it into a soft dough, and cover it for later use.

04

Red dates are also peeled off by hand when they are hot. Pay attention to the shrinkage of the skin when it is cold, so it will not be easy to tear off (if you don't want to peel, you can put it directly in a cooking machine and mash it). After all the skins are removed, cut the red dates with a fruit knife, remove the jujube stones, and then grind them into jujube paste with a spoon.

05

Take the mold for moon cakes, wash and dry the water, and sprinkle some glutinous rice flour in the inner groove to prevent sticking; Grab a good yam dough together, reunite it by hand, make a groove in the middle, fill it with jujube paste, put it in the mold like a bean paste bag, put it upside down on the chopping board, press the handle of the mold and press it down hard, and finally demould it, and a beautiful yam jujube cake is ready.

The delicate and sweet taste, coupled with the faint scent of jujube, is simply enjoyable when you take a bite. It is 100 times more delicious than simply steaming and boiling. If you like, you can also pour honey into it. It is simply delicious! As breakfast or afternoon snack, it will be a high-class enjoyment. It's perfect to cook and eat with a baby at home, and I'm sure the children like it very much. Give your child some of it often, which will not only keep your ears bright, but also strengthen your spleen and stomach. How's it going? You learned it at first sight, didn't you? Make this delicious food for your family sometime!

Tips:

1, steamed jujube must be peeled while it is hot, otherwise the skin will shrink when it is cold, and it is not easy to peel off.

2, glutinous rice flour is cooked until it is slightly yellow.
