Eight Treasure Rice

Ingredients: Homemade red bean paste and glutinous rice.

Ingredients: candied winter melon, lard, roasted white sesame seeds, granulated sugar, and red dates.

Soak glutinous rice in water for 5–6 hours. 2. Put the glutinous rice into a steamer and steam over water for 30 minutes. When steaming for 15 minutes, lift the lid and sprinkle an appropriate amount of cold boiled water, cover the lid, and continue steaming for another 15 minutes.

Scoop out the cooked rice and mix it evenly with an appropriate amount of lard and granulated sugar.

First, brush a layer of lard in the bowl, then add jujubes, roasted sesame seeds, and candied winter melon strips for decoration. (I cut the candied winter melon into strips in advance)

First, put a portion of the mixed glutinous rice into the bowl, then add the red bean paste.

After completing the above steps, continue to add the glutinous rice, cover the red bean paste completely, and steam it again in the steamer for 10 minutes. Remove it and invert it onto a plate, and it's ready.
