Steps

  1. The amount is almost 15 rice dumplings. Soak glutinous rice and red beans for at least eight hours in advance. If possible, you can soak the beans and rice during dinner the day before, changing the water in between, and shorten the cooking time when making the rice dumplings the next day. I used glutinous rice and millet. It should have been better to use yellow rice, but I was too lazy to go out and buy it so I added millet. red beans. Wash the raisins and red dates a few minutes in advance. The dates I used were relatively large, so I cut them into smaller pieces before making them. Because I like sweet food, I mixed the rice and beans together and added sugar and an appropriate amount of alkaline noodles.

As for the auxiliary ingredients, you can add some dried fruits and nuts that you like to eat and feel free to use them.

  3. The rice dumpling leaves I bought were dry, so I rinsed them with water. Boil the rice dumpling leaves in a large pot for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and soak the things that tie the rice dumplings in the water. If you use fresh rice dumpling leaves, wash them clean and use them directly. Don't pour the boiled water, it will make the rice dumplings more fragrant.
