Chinese yellow rice cake is a traditional snack in southern Sichuan, and it has been circulating for hundreds of years. Made from glutinous rice, ordinary rice and brown sugar. The color is yellowish, the taste is soft and glutinous, and there are many ways to eat. You can steam it and eat it directly, or you can slice and fry it, dice it to make sweet soup or grill it. The wrapping material of Luzhou yellow rice cake is alpinia leave, with the unique fragrance of alpinia leave. As a specialty of Sichuan Luzhou, yellow rice cake is a must-have food for the Spring Festival and a great gift for relatives and friends. Now it has become popular street food in southern Sichuan, and it can be stored for a long time.
Cooking steps:
1. Glutinous rice was soaked in water for one night in advance.
2. Rice and soybeans should also be soaked in water overnight.
3. Steam the soaked glutinous rice in a steamer for an hour.
4. During the steaming of rice, we started to make brown sugar rice syrup. Put the soaked rice and soybeans into the wall breaking machine, add 200 grams of water (this step is critical, the amount of water here directly affects the success of this in the end), add brown sugar. Made into brown sugar rice syrup.
5. Put the steamed glutinous rice into a large container and add brown sugar rice syrup while it is hot. Stir well.
6. Pour into a 28×28 square plate. Leave it to cool completely, then you will find that the mixed brown sugar rice syrup is absorbed by the glutinous rice. Commonly known as sweat absorption. Divided into 18 rectangles.
7. Wash the alpinia leaves and palm leaves in advance and scald them with boiling water.
8. Take a piece of yellow rice cake and place it in the middle of the leaves.
9. Fold up the tail of the leaf to cover the yellow rice cake.
10. Fold the head of the leaf also, cut off the excess and align it to the edge of the yellow rice cake.
11. This is the appearance after two folds.
12. Then wrap it like a gift. Bundled with palm leaves.
13. After all wrapped up, steam in a steamer for one and a half hours.
