Osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root

Overview

Although it has entered spring, the northern and central regions are still hot and cold, with large temperature differences between morning and evening. Such unstable temperatures are when the human body's immunity is extremely weak, and it is especially easy for the spleen and stomach to be weak. Taking some sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root is better than tonic. Glutinous rice is extremely rich in protein, fat and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus and iron, as well as B vitamins, starch and other ingredients. Moderate consumption is very beneficial to the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine has also confirmed that glutinous rice has the effects of replenishing qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and stopping sweating. For people with poor appetite, cold spleen and stomach, abdominal distension and diarrhea, and pregnant women, moderate consumption can provide certain relief.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the glutinous rice in advance and soak it in water for 2 hours

   

2. 2 Peel the lotus roots. You must choose lotus roots that are complete and beautiful in shape, with no damage or ulcers inside or outside

   

3. 3 Cut a little off one end to make the lotus root cover

   

4. 4 Stuff the glutinous rice into the big hole. To fill it up, you can use chopsticks

   

5. 5 After stuffing the glutinous rice, put the lotus root lid on and secure it tightly with toothpicks. Poke it deeper to prevent the lotus root lid from loosening during cooking

   

6. 6 Put the lotus roots into the electric pressure cooker, add water that has covered the lotus roots, and put in a few red dates. Since I don’t have red dates at home but candied dates, I put a few candied dates in. Then put in a small amount of brown sugar. I put 60 grams. The amount of brown sugar can be increased or decreased. You can add fresh orange jam to make up for the sweetness when eating

   

7. 7 You can press the porridge button or the multi-grain button on the lid of the electric pressure cooker. This is what the porridge button cooks

   

8. 8 Remove the water from the pot and slice into slices. I deliberately made a protruding one. The glutinous rice flowers in the lotus root look really nice

   

9. 9 You can arrange it on the plate according to your own preferences. When eating, sprinkle some fresh orange glutinous rice jam on it and it will be delicious

   

10. 10 Enjoy delicious food
