    Line the bottom of the bowl with plastic wrap (you can also evenly spread lard on the bottom of the bowl to make it easier to unmold).

    First, spread a layer of glutinous rice at the bottom of the bowl and press it firmly, then place 100 grams of red bean paste in the center (the amount of red bean paste can be adjusted according to personal preference).
