Yellow rice, walnut kernels and candied dates rice dumplings

Overview

This rice dumpling is also a sweet rice dumpling, but it does not use glutinous rice entirely, but adds some rhubarb rice. Rhubarb rice is also sticky, but for the elderly with poor gastric function, it is better than pure glutinous rice and not so difficult to digest. This rice dumpling is made for my mother-in-law, so I specially added yellow rice and walnut kernels to increase the taste and nutritional content, and also to occupy more space, so that less rice can be put in it, making it easier for the elderly to digest it. Originally we were going to add red dates, but my mother-in-law loves candied dates very much. The Dragon Boat Festival only happens once a year, so we followed her preference and let her eat candied jujube rice dumplings.
