Osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root
Overview
The smog in Greater Beijing is really annoying, and there is really nothing I can do about it. Wear a mask when traveling, and choose lung-clearing foods. Lotus root is naturally indispensable. Just like during this period, Bao Ma’s recipes are mostly vegetable juices and lotus root soy milk, which clear the lungs and moisturize dryness. Drinking some is still very good for the body. This year, lotus roots in Beijing have always been inexpensive, staying between 2-2.5 yuan. Just like the dish Bao’s mother made today, which cost less than 1 kilogram. Three members of my family ate it twice. The recipe is very simple, and the taste is sweet and glutinous. Both adults and children love to eat it. You can give it a try.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Wash the lotus roots and soak the glutinous rice in advance (I soak it in the morning and use it at night)
-
Drain the glutinous rice into water and stir in sugar
-
Peel the lotus root, cut off the head at an angle, and cut it at an angle so that you can fill it with rice
-
Rinse the hole of the lotus root and fill it with rice. Do not tighten it too tightly. The rice will expand when cooked
-
After all the rice is installed, close the cut head according to the original cut surface and fix it with toothpicks
-
Put the lotus root into the pressure cooker, then add jujube and brown sugar, and add half of the water to the ingredients
-
After the pressure cooker has been pressed for 30 minutes, turn off the power. Do not open the lid and let it simmer overnight. The picture shows the glutinous rice lotus root after simmering. The color is very beautiful
-
Cut the glutinous rice lotus root into thick slices, put it in a pot, pour a spoonful of the lotus root juice into it, bring to a boil over high heat, thicken the juice and pour it on the lotus root slices, then top with the osmanthus sauce and serve
