The traditional cake cutting is about "three steaming and two mixing", steaming and steaming is really strange and troublesome, today I will share an extremely simple way to make glutinous rice cake cutting, which is as easy as steaming rice, and it is guaranteed to be successful at one time. If you like it, give it a try~~

——Glutinous rice cut cake——

【Ingredients】1000 grams of round glutinous rice, 500 grams of bean paste filling, 1 bowl of red dates

【Directions】

Step 1: The glutinous rice does not need to be soaked in advance, cleaned and put it in the rice cooker, add a little more water than the usual steamed rice, and press it with a pressure cooker for 25 minutes.

Step 2: When steaming rice, wash the red dates and put them in the steamer, steam them over medium heat for 15 minutes, and steam the red dates until soft.

Step 3: Take out the steamed soft jujubes, remove the jujube kernels from the middle and set aside.

Step 4: After the glutinous rice is steamed, open the lid and dry for 5 minutes, stir the steamed glutinous rice with a hand shovel for 1 minute or mash it slightly, which is done to increase the stickiness of the glutinous rice. If you like to eat sweeter, you can put some white sugar here and stir it evenly, the cut cake sold on the noodles in Tianjin is not sugary, and it is generally cut and weighed to ask you, do you add white sugar?

Step 5: Prepare a plastic wrapper, spread plastic wrap or oil paper, arrange the plastic wrap or oil paper according to the shape of the box, and try to fit the four corners of the plastic wrap on the box. Take out a part of the glutinous rice and spread it flat at the bottom of the box and press it tightly by hand, and the four corners should also be compacted, the firmer and tighter the press, the better the taste. If it is too sticky, it will be stained with boiled water, and it will not be stained if it is dipped in boiled water, and it is easy to compact and compress.

Step 6: Spread a layer of red bean paste in the same way.

Step 7: Spread a layer of glutinous rice in turn, and press the glutinous rice tightly and compacted with the same method of dipping your hands in cold and white.

Step 8: Evenly stack a layer of steamed red dates, cut the red dates in half and buckle them downward. Ze Rui's mother does not have enough red dates at home, and careful friends may see that half of the pictures are dates.

Step 9: After putting a layer of red dates, put a layer of glutinous rice and flatten it. Finally, a red and white multi-layer cake with 3 layers of glutinous rice and 2 layers of filling is formed.

Step 10: After all the stacks are compacted, cover with plastic wrap, put them in the steamer again, and steam them on high heat to low heat for 30 minutes.

Step 11: After steaming, take it out, find a heavy object to compact the cut cake until it is naturally cool. I used a small pot to fill it with water, and it worked well.

Step 12, after cooling, upside down, when eating, wipe some water on the knife, and then you can easily cut the cake, three layers of rice, a layer of dates, a layer of bean paste, the layers are very successful. (Sprinkle some sugar when eating, it tastes better~)

Zerui's mother directly cut it into thick slices and wrap it in plastic wrap for easy preservation. This time I did more, and after wrapping it, I asked my husband to send it to the child's grandparents.

Finished product! Soft and glutinous and sweet. If you want to eat a cake, you might as well try to make it yourself at home. Also, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, if you don't know how to wrap zongzi, you might as well try to make it, it is as delicious as zongzi~~

Tips: After steaming, stir the sticky rice for a while to make the sticky rice more sticky
