Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First soak an appropriate amount of glutinous rice (there are a few grains of black rice in the glutinous rice you buy) and soak it for 2 to 3 hours.

   

2. 2 Wash and peel the lotus root, rinse it, and cut the lotus root from one side.

   

3. 3 Pour glutinous rice into the lotus root pores.

   

4. 4 Both lotus roots are stuffed with glutinous rice and fixed with toothpicks to prevent them from falling apart.

   

5. 5 In the pressure cooker, first put the rinsed grass roots, and then the lotus root. If there is no brown sugar, you have to put in rock sugar (you can add or subtract according to your own taste), add a bag of red yeast rice flour for coloring, press the pressure cooker for 40 minutes, and soak overnight.

   

6. 6 This is glutinous rice lotus root that has been left overnight (it is not easy to shape when hot). Dip a little water on the knife to cut it easily.

   

7. 7 The dining table is bright for taking pictures, and the color of the lotus root is very beautiful! It is ruddy in color, soft, glutinous and sweet (red yeast rice flour is non-toxic and has no side effects). You can pour the red juice onto the glutinous rice lotus root (it feels more beautiful in its true color).
