Ingredients
  

  • 1000 g glutinous rice
  • 500 g rice
  • 750 g brown sugar
  • 18 alpinia leaves
  • 15 g oybeans
  • 200 g water

Instructions
 

  • 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.

Notes

If there is no alpinia leaves, you can use lotus leaves instead. The amount of water added when making brown sugar rice syrup should not be too much, if it is too thin, it will not be easy to solidify.
