Steps
-
Wash the dyed plants in water! Otherwise, ask Xiao Kaikai what the name of this plant is, because I don’t know either, hahaha
-
Put the washed plants into the pot and boil water! It must be boiled for a while, and it is best to boil the leaves a little bit, so that the color of the boiled water will be particularly bright! The amount of water depends on the amount of glutinous rice!
-
After boiling the plant water, filter out the residue and let it cool naturally! This one is red!
-
This one is purple! The only thing that looks very similar between the two plants is that one of the leaves has some small white hairs on it. Xiao Kaikai can't tell the difference even if he doesn't look at the color of the boiled water! 😂
-
While waiting for the dyeing water to cool down, we can wash the glutinous rice with water first!
-
After the water used for dyeing has cooled down, you can put the washed glutinous rice in and soak it. The best time is more than 3 hours! Xiaokaikai is glutinous rice soaked before going to bed at night! Isn’t the purple one beautiful?
-
Red!

Let’s take a family photo! The small yellow flowers used for dyeing yellow are no longer sold, and the maple leaves dyed black need to be chopped, boiled and soaked for many days before the color will appear. The Xiaokaikai holiday is too short and I don’t have time to make it, but the general principle is the same! 😊

The colorful glutinous rice steamed in a pot is so beautiful! When you open the lid, you can smell the fresh plant-specific fragrance! Steamed glutinous rice is usually made in two flavors, sweet and savory! The sweet one is steamed glutinous rice mixed with white sugar. It tastes the same as rice pudding! To make it savory, stir-fry the steamed glutinous rice with oil and salt. Add some minced chives before serving. The aroma is so delicious! 😋
