"The Secret of Making Eight Treasure Glutinous Rice"
Babao glutinous rice, a sweet, soft and glutinous traditional delicacy with a beautiful meaning, always brings people a full sense of happiness on special days. Below, I will share with you the secrets of making eight-treasure sticky rice.
First of all, prepare abundant ingredients. High-quality glutinous rice is essential, in addition to red dates, lotus seeds, longan, raisins, walnut kernels, peanut kernels, red bean paste, etc.
Soak the glutinous rice for at least 4 hours in advance to allow it to absorb the water so that the steamed glutinous rice will be softer and more glutinous.
Drain the soaked glutinous rice and put it in a steamer to steam. The steaming time should be adjusted appropriately according to the amount of glutinous rice, generally 30 - 0 minutes.
While waiting for the glutinous rice to steam through, other ingredients can be processed. Remove the core of the red dates, remove the core of the lotus seeds, peel the longan meat, wash the raisins, and fry the walnuts and peanuts slightly until fragrant.
Prepare a large bowl and spread red dates, lotus seeds, longan, raisins, walnuts, peanuts and other ingredients evenly at the bottom of the bowl.
After the glutinous rice is steamed, add an appropriate amount of sugar and lard while it is hot and stir well. This will make the sticky rice sweeter and more oily.
Put the glutinous rice into a large bowl with the ingredients lined up, gently press it, leaving a groove in the middle, and fill it with red bean paste.
Then spread a layer of sticky rice and continue to compact.
Finally, the large bowl is placed upside down on the plate, and a beautiful eight-treasure sticky rice is formed.
Babao glutinous rice is attractive in color, sweet and delicious, and every bite is full of rich ingredients and a strong festive atmosphere.
