Osmanthus glutinous rice root is a Jiangnan Hangzhou cuisine, glutinous rice stewed sticky sticky, and with the aroma of lotus root, I can nibble off a section of lotus at a time! Uncle has always liked the glutinous rice root of Yuchang Yifang, it is really soft and delicious! I accidentally found lotus root in shrimp skin, so I decided to buy it and try it myself! The sugar part uses brown sugar, second sand, rock sugar, honey, the finished product is very fragrant and sweet, with brown sugar and red date fragrance, as well as the faint taste of lotus root itself!
Ingredients: 100g of glutinous rice, 2 lotus root (big lotus root), 8 red dates, 40g of second sand, 70g of rock sugar, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, 30g of honey, 8 goji berries, and 8 toothpicks (for fixing).
1, round glutinous rice clean soaked in water for 4 hours, lotus root wash clean soil peeling, the thinner side of the head cut off (about 3-5 cm) as a cover, lotus root holes should also be washed with water, lotus root must choose "big lotus", holes are enough to plug glutinous rice, otherwise it will be stuffed into doubtful life.
2. Come on! The most testing patience time comes, plug glutinous rice, first grab a handful of glutinous rice with your hand to smear on the lotus root, and then knock the lotus root on the table to let the glutinous rice fall in, and then with a long thin bamboo skewer or chopsticks, poke the rice into the bottom, the lid does not use the semmy, put the lid back, fix it with a toothpick, fix it well, otherwise the pot of boiled glutinous rice will burst the lid.
3, toothpicks are best washed first, after all, after all, after taking it together to cook, and then hand it over to time, cold water covered with lotus root, add red dates, two sands, rock sugar, brown sugar, honey, boiled to the water, usually will be added to the osmanthus brew together, but I did not buy osmanthus did not add, after the water rolled, cover the lid and simmer for more than 4 hours.
4, in the 3rd hour to add goji berries, by the way peek at the lotus root, the whole pot of soup color becomes relatively red, lotus root has not yet soft glutinous, 4 hours later, the whole pot color is dark, cover the lid, lotus root directly soaked in sugar water into the cold, after cooling can be cut to eat, this sugar water is very delicious, not dead sweet kind, there is a slight aroma of brown sugar, as well as lotus root, red dates taste! It can be diluted with water and used as a drink.
