Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Soak the red dates for one to two hours, then remove the core with a knife and set aside.

   

2. 2 Add 3 tablespoons of glutinous rice flour to appropriate amount of boiling water, knead into a smooth dough with moderate hardness, and then knead into thin strips. (I forgot to take pictures while kneading the dough T_T)

   

3. 3 Cut the long dough into small sections with a knife and stuff it into the pitted red dates.

   

4. 4 Add an appropriate amount of water (not too much), a small piece of rock sugar, and red dates to the pot. After boiling, turn to medium-low heat and simmer until the soup becomes thick. It takes about 20 minutes.

   

5. 5 Dish out the red dates, pour over the soup, and sprinkle with some sesame seeds for decoration.
