Amaranth juice glutinous rice dumplings

Overview

During the Dragon Boat Festival, I bought a lot of rice dumpling leaves. I originally planned to make a lot of rice dumplings, but because I was not skilled in making rice dumplings, my wrapping speed was too slow. I only wrapped half of a pound of glutinous rice and gave up, leaving the remaining rice dumpling leaves. Now I want to use it up as soon as possible, and I also had a sudden idea: soaking rice in amaranth juice to make rice dumplings. Although it did not achieve the expected effect, my skills and speed in making rice dumplings have improved a lot, and I still feel a sense of accomplishment.
