1, jujube needs to remove its hard pedicle, otherwise it will panic when eaten in the stomach. Carefully pick them one by one and pick out the red dates with wormeyes. Then boil the red dates with boiling water until they are soft, take them out and drain them for later use. 2. Pour all the glutinous rice noodles into a large basin, slowly pour in clear water and stir by hand. Let the glutinous rice noodles be wet with clear water, but not so wet as to agglomerate. 3, this process should be patient, add water slowly and hand quickly. 4. Until all the sticky rice lines are lightly wet by clear water, a handful of sticky rice lines are still loose. This degree should be mastered well. If there is dry powder, the viscosity of the steamed sticky cake will decrease and it is not easy to steam. 5. Then take the steamer, spread a layer of cabbage leaves on the grate, put the red dates on the cabbage leaves one by one, and hold glutinous rice noodles in your hand. Spread a layer evenly on the red dates with a thick bottom, about seven or eight centimeters. Then steam on high fire for about 20 minutes, and steam the first layer of rice cakes. 6, then continue to spread a layer of red dates, continue to spread glutinous rice lines on the red dates, cover the lid and continue steaming, and leave the fire for about 25 minutes. The top layer can be pierced with chopsticks to facilitate the upward flow of water vapor and make the rice cake more cooked.
