Red robe lotus seeds

Overview

Two days ago, I learned how to make red robe lotus seeds with a Shaanxi cuisine master. According to the master, many Shaanxi cuisine restaurants no longer know how to make this dish. In fact, it is not difficult, and the ingredients are very homemade. This year, I will make a different kind of sweet rice for the Chinese New Year - red robe lotus seeds.
