The delicacy on the tip of the tongue of the people of northern Henan - yellow rice dumplings

Once upon a time, in the ancient land of northern Henan, people liked to plant a plant commonly known as "xu millet". When it matures in autumn, it is called yellow rice after shelling. It is no longer cultivated due to poor management. My family is from Puyang County, I remember when I was a child, every year in late autumn and early winter, adults would go to the neighboring Neihuang County to buy some dates to come back, and then put equal portions of yellow rice and dates into the pot, add the appropriate amount of well water and cook it on high heat (usually more than two pounds of water per kilogram of dry rice). Keep turning while cooking, or the bottom will be mushy. When the jujube rice has been drunk enough water to become viscous, the lid is covered, the fire is stopped, and the remaining temperature at the bottom of the pot is slowly roasted, so that the rice dumplings that come out are the most delicious.
