Tradition of glutinous rice cake

Glutinous rice Baba is a traditional snack with a long history in China. This kind of snack has existed since ancient times. It is nutritious and delicious, and has been loved by people since ancient times. The strange thing about glutinous rice Baba is that it is made of various staple foods, but in many places, it can be used as both staple food and banquet dishes.

1. Wash glutinous rice and soak it in water for as long as possible, preferably overnight. Soak it before going to bed and use it the next morning. Because glutinous rice soaked in water for a long time is easier to cook, softer and tastes better.

2. It is best to soak the soaked glutinous rice in hot oil once, because after the hot oil, the fragrance will be stronger. First, when the oil temperature is about 60 degrees, add shredded onion and shredded ginger and fry until the shredded onion and shredded ginger are cooked, and then take out the residue. Oil smells especially good at this time. Then, add the soaked glutinous rice, stir fry and add salt. When there is no water in the pot, pour the glutinous rice in.

3. Put the cooked glutinous rice into a container and mash it with a rolling pin. If there is garlic paste at home, you can mash it in garlic paste. The longer you pour, the better, which means more chewy.

4. Put the mashed glutinous rice in a big plate and compact it. Be sure to press it hard, try to squeeze out all the bubbles inside, and finally cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for use the next day.

5. Pour the glutinous rice into the square plate on the table, cut it into the shape you want, then boil the oil in the pot and throw it into the pot for frying. Pay attention to the heat when frying, just keep it low, and fry for a while until both sides are golden.

Generally speaking, the making method of glutinous rice cake is very simple, but it takes a little time. If you like it and it's no trouble, you can try it at home as I taught you.
