Sweet potato glutinous rice cake
Overview
When I was a child, the most eaten foods in winter were sweet potatoes and Chinese cabbage. I have tasted all kinds of steamed, stir-fried, stewed, pan-fried, roasted and fried. Now that life is better, I can eat all kinds of vegetables in winter, but I still can’t forget the taste of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are rich in protein, starch, pectin, cellulose, amino acids, vitamins and various minerals, and are known as longevity foods. The sugar content reaches 15%-20%. It has anti-cancer, heart protection, prevention of emphysema, diabetes, weight loss and other effects. Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the Ming Dynasty recorded that sweet potatoes can replenish deficiency, strengthen the spleen and appetite, and strengthen kidney yin. It is also said that people living in the sea can live longer if they eat it. Traditional Chinese medicine regards sweet potatoes as good medicine. In the most popular terms, it is the best to relieve constipation
