How to make five-color glutinous rice

Economic development has put us under increasing pressure, and we have to spend longer and longer time in the company every day. As a result, we have to pick up our phones to order takeout every day, but our hearts are full of aversion to takeout. So, on weekends and holidays, we all like to cook our own meals. Now, let me tell you about the method of making five-color glutinous rice.

[I soaked purple (red and blue grass), yellow (dried yellow flowers), red (red and blue grass), black (black bean juice), plum red (purple amaranth juice), and white (original glutinous rice color)]

9. Pour out the dye juice from the glutinous rice and drain the water for later use.

10. Put the dyed glutinous rice into the bamboo plate covered with steaming cloth one by one. (I also brought the bamboo plaque back from my hometown. Although it is very old, I like it very much. The elderly used to weave bamboo by hand, but it is rarely seen now.)

11. Put appropriate amount of water into the pot and place the bamboo plate with glutinous rice on the steaming rack.

12. Cover and steam until the glutinous rice is soft.
