【Shandong】Sweet glutinous rice and dates

Overview

Red means festive, and Chinese people like to use red to express their mood during the New Year. Red dates are also considered as an ingredient for the occasion. The red color is particularly festive, and red dates are rich in nutrients, so eating them in moderation has many benefits for the body. Every New Year, my mother would steam rice cakes. If there were extra dates at that time, she would make me a snack using red dates. The red dates would be stuffed with glutinous rice filling. The steamed rice cakes would taste very sweet, and they would be poured with a little honey. The soft and sweet glutinous rice dates symbolize prosperous days and sweet life in the new year~
