Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare ingredients. 600 grams of glutinous rice and 300 grams of red dates. (It’s best to choose round glutinous rice, so that it tastes softer and glutinous.)

   

2. 2 Soak the red dates for 30 minutes and set aside.

   

3. 3 Wash the glutinous rice and add a small amount of water. Place in a steamer and steam over high heat for 25 minutes. (Due to time constraints, I did not soak the glutinous rice in advance. If you have soaked the glutinous rice in advance, the amount of water will be reduced accordingly when steaming.)

   

4. 4 After steaming, use chopsticks to stir the glutinous rice until it becomes sticky, then cover the pot and steam for 20 minutes. Finally, turn off the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. The glutinous rice is ready.

   

5. 5 Put the red dates in the pot and cook for 15 minutes, then remove and set aside.

   

6. 6 Take a plastic wrap and put a layer of plastic wrap inside. Then, put on gloves once and spread the glutinous rice evenly on the bottom of the box, as shown in the picture. It should be about 2 cm thick.

   

7. 7 Spread a layer of red dates, as shown in the picture.

   

8. 8 Spread another layer of glutinous rice, a layer of red dates, and a layer of glutinous rice until everything is installed. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, as shown in the picture.

   

9. 9 Find a heavy object to compact the cut cake. (Because I couldn’t find a weight of the right size, I put some water in a plastic bag and pressed it on the cake. The effect was good.)

   

10. 10 When eating, put some water on the knife, and then you can easily cut the cake. (After refrigeration, sprinkle some sugar to eat, it will taste better~)
