Steps
-
Put the brown sugar cubes and water into the pot and cook until the sugar melts. After the sugar water cools down, pour in the glutinous rice flour and rice flour, and mix evenly to form a particle-free, flexible and thicker batter (grab the batter and lift it up, the batter will hang down smoothly).
-
Pour the batter into the oiled mold, cover the surface of the mold with a plate to prevent water droplets from dripping onto the surface of the rice cake during the steaming process, affecting the appearance and taste, and put it into the steamer.
-
Bring water to a boil over high heat and steam over medium heat for about 40 minutes until cooked (the specific time required will be adjusted according to the size and thickness of the rice cake). Use a toothpick to insert into the center of the rice cake and it will be cooked if no powder comes out. If you are worried that there is not enough water during the steaming process, you can open the lid of the pot and heat the water. The rice cakes are not steamed buns and will not shrink. However, the heat will be lost when the lid is opened and the steaming time will be extended. The surface of the steamed rice cake is smooth, delicate and beautiful when the surface of the mold is covered with a plate.
-
Take out the steamed rice cake, cool and unmold.
-
Use a flat mold to make rice cakes, which can be demolded and cut into pieces after cooling. However, if you use a plum blossom-shaped mold to make rice cakes, if you want to keep the integrity and beauty of the flowers, you must wait for the rice cakes to cool completely, then put them in the refrigerator or refrigerate to harden, so that they can be smoothly demoulded. After cutting into pieces, you can steam them to make them soft and chewy, or fry them to make them soft, glutinous and sweet.
