Date paste and yam cake
Overview
I once read a book list survey, saying which so-called masterpieces you must not read. Dream of Red Mansions was also on the list. In fact, Dream of Red Mansions is a novel that I can relatively read and like. I have read it a few times and remember some of the poems, plots, people, and food. There are many delicacies mentioned in Dream of Red Mansions. There are also many Red Mansions food menus on the Internet. Date mud yam cake is a classic snack in Red Mansions cuisine. In the eleventh chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", Keqing is ill and has lost weight to a beautiful woman with icy muscles and jade bones. Keqing only loves the yam cake filled with jujube paste given by the old lady. I think it tastes refreshing and not greasy. The recipe for jujube and yam cake is similar online. It is steamed yam paste wrapped with jujube paste. It is a simple and delicious pastry

Ingredients
Steps
-
red dates washed
-
Put the washed red dates into a pot, add water and boil
-
Soak it overnight and the water will be absorbed by the red dates
-
Remove the core. You can peel it if you’re particular about it. I didn’t peel it because it was too troublesome
-
Add the pitted red dates and the water in the bowl to a blender, beat into a red date puree, put it in a pot and stir-fry until the water is dry
-
Peel the yam and steam it
-
Add sugar to the steamed yam and press it into a puree
-
Knead it with your hands for a while to form a smooth yam dough
-
Divide 25 grams of yam puree and red dates into 15 grams of dough
-
Take the yam dough, press it into a flat shape, and wrap it with red date filling
-
Wrap and close
-
Put it into the mold. Because yam is relatively sticky, the mold must be brushed with cooking oil or cornstarch
-
Just press out the shape
-
Eat as soon as possible
