Ingredients: 100 grams of pork plate oil, 300 grams of glutinous rice flour, 100 grams of sticky rice flour, 120 grams of sugar, red beans to taste.
Step 1: First we prepare the pork plate oil, buy it, and put it on the board to cut into appropriate size blocks. Once the lard is cut, place it in a container, add the right amount of sugar to it, and stir thoroughly. After the lard and sugar are well mixed, take out a sealed box and put it all in, and then put it in the refrigerator and marinate for about five days.
Step 2: After 5 days, we can officially make lard cakes. First, take out the red beans and rinse them under water, then prepare a plate of clean water and soak the red beans in them for two hours.
Step 3: After soaking the red beans, put them into the cooking pot, then add the appropriate amount of water to it, and then cook the red beans for about two hours on low heat. During these two hours, we have to lift the lid from time to time and stir the red beans thoroughly with a spoon. After two hours, the red beans are cooked until they are crispy and can be stopped.
Step 4: Take out a small bowl and add the appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour and sugar into it. After mixing them well with chopsticks, place the previously cooked red beans in a bowl. After stirring well, we take out the water that we used to cook the red beans and pour them into the bowl while stirring with chopsticks. Note that you can't add it all at once, but you have to add it little by little. Don't have a lot of red bean water, just mix it with flour a little.
Step 5: After mixing the flour is still relatively dry, we directly take out a coarse colander, sift the flour through the sieve, and then rub the larger particles slightly by hand until all the flour is like millet, you can do it.
Step 6: Next take out the steamer, put in a container that is usually used to bake the cake, first put half of the flour in it, then take out the lard block that was marinated for 5 days and put it on the flour, and finally pour the remaining half of the powder on top of the lard, and then flatten the powder by hand, and compact it a little harder, so that the shape of the lard cake is beautiful.
Step 7: After putting it away, directly open the heat and steam for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the lard cake is steamed, and we take it out and cut it into the right size cubes to eat.
