When the pot came out, I stood aside and waited for a long time. I immediately rushed to open the lid of the pot. A fragrant smell penetrated my nose. I was so greedy that I was speechless. The color of the five-color glutinous rice was bright and colorful.

Essay about five-color glutinous rice 2 Zhuang people are accustomed to eating five-color glutinous rice on the third day of the third lunar month.

On March 3 this year, I saw many people buying five-color glutinous rice on the street. The rice balls were fragrant and very bright in color.

I thought to myself: Such a bright color, couldn’t it be dyed with pigment?

With doubts, I went home and asked my mother.

My mother smiled and said, "Bright colors are not necessarily dyed with pigments! Beautiful colors can also be dyed with natural plant dyes!" There was a bit of mystery "hidden" in my mother's words, which aroused my interest.

Out of curiosity, I couldn't wait to ask my mother to teach me how to make five-color glutinous rice.

Mom agreed.

We first went to the farmer’s market to buy the materials needed to dye glutinous rice.

In the market with everything, my mother bought four different plants and told me their names one by one: purple sweet potato vine, sophora japonica, maple leaf, and red and blue grass.

After returning home, we washed the glutinous rice and hung it to dry on the balcony.

If the rice is soaked directly in the pigment juice before washing, the color of the steamed glutinous rice will not be bright enough, so this step cannot be omitted.

The washed rice needs to be dried for two to three hours, and then kept for later use.

Next, we wash and chop the maple leaves, and soak them in an iron pot used for cooking at home (if there is no iron pot or other iron container, you can also put an iron knife or other iron utensils in the maple leaf water).

Then, we washed the sophora flowers, put them in clean water, and simmered them over low heat until the yellow juice came out.

Strain out the sophora flower residue and reserve the juice for later use.

The treatment methods for purple vine and red blue grass are the same as those for sophora japonica.

The juice produced by the purple sweet potato vine is purple.

The juice produced by red and blue grass is red.

Strain out their residue and store the juice in separate containers.

Yellow, purple, red, ah!

Why are there only three colors?

It turns out that Maple Leaf hasn’t dealt with it yet.

I saw my mother put the iron pot on the stove, turned on high heat and brought it to a boil, then switched to low heat and kept turning the maple leaves.

After about 15 minutes, the water in the pot became darker and darker, so my mother turned off the heat and filtered the residue to keep the juice for later use.

When the temperature of the juice dropped to about 50°C, my mother divided the dried glutinous rice into five parts and soaked them in different colors of juice.

You must be thinking, aren’t there only four colors of juice?

Haha, don’t forget that there is another color which is white, just soak it in clean water.

I brought a small chair and sat next to it while I waited.

After a while, I picked up the rice grains, looked at them, and shouted to my mother anxiously: "The rice hasn't changed color, and I'm still wearing a white shirt." My mother smiled and said, "You are too impatient, rice grains won't change clothes."

"You let them sleep for the night first, and you can see if they have changed their clothes tomorrow." The next day, I got up earlier than ever and ran into the kitchen to pick up the glutinous rice and see: It's true!

Except for the rice grains soaked in clear water that are still white, the other glutinous rice has all put on new "clothes."

We put these different colored glutinous rice into a steamer, steam it over high heat for about an hour, and the five-color glutinous rice will be out of the pot.

The five-color glutinous rice just out of the pot is as beautiful as colorful velvet flowers.
