Many ethnic groups in our country have the custom of eating rice cakes during the New Year. It can be said that rice cakes are a traditional food during the New Year. Rice cakes are homophonic to the word "niangao", which means "higher every year", symbolizing that income, status or children are getting higher year by year.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the purple sweet potatoes and put them into a pot, add an appropriate amount of water and cook them, then let them cool and peel them and set aside. (You can also steam it. My purple sweet potatoes are small and suitable for cooking with the skin on)

   

2. 2 Put the glutinous rice flour into a basin, add water little by little and mix into a slightly hard dough.

   

3. 3 Divide the dough into two portions.

   

4. 4 Add purple sweet potato to one part of the dough and knead it again into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into two portions.

   

5. 5 Add a spoonful of sugar and osmanthus to another portion of dough and knead it into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into two portions.

   

6. 6 Place a layer of plastic wrap on the chopping board, place a ball of purple sweet potato dough, cover with a layer of plastic wrap, and roll it into thin sheets with a rolling pin.

   

7. 7 Take a steamer, brush the bottom with a layer of oil, and put the rolled out dough into the steamer.

   

8. 8 Follow this method, roll out a piece of osmanthus-flavored dough and place it on top of the purple one. Then roll out the purple ones, and then roll out the sweet-scented osmanthus flavored ones.

   

9. 9 Wash the jujube, remove the seeds and cut into small cubes.

   

10. 10 Sprinkle a little water on the dough and rub it with your hands to get the paste, then spread the diced jujubes on top and press it firmly with your hands.

    

11. 11 Put it into the pot and steam it. You can poke it with chopsticks or bamboo skewers. If there is no white powder coming out on it, it means it is steamed.

    

12. 12 Take it out and let it cool slightly, then remove the film, cut it in half with a knife, then put it together and slice it, and it is ready to eat. The next day, after it is completely cooled and hardened, you can cut it into slices and fry it in a pan to make it more delicious.
