Methods/Steps

1. Knead the dough. Put the flour and yeast in a bowl, add warm water and mix into a dough, and place it in a warm place to let it rise. There must be large gaps in the surface to make it.

2 Boil the dates. Put the dried red dates into a casserole, add appropriate amount of water, and cook until the dates are soft. Wait until they are cooked before cleaning them, because there is often a layer of white substance on the dates, which needs to be washed before use.

Make rice cake. First, scoop the dough out of the bowl, sprinkle some dry flour on the chopping board, put the dough on it, and knead it until the surface is smooth.

Cut two fist-sized pieces of dough and shape them into pancakes.

Place a circle of dates on the upper edge of one of them, keeping a certain distance between them.

Roll out another piece of dough and place it on the dates.

Put another circle of dates on top, filling the empty spaces.

Pick out the largest one and put it aside, and put the others in the gap in the middle.

Cover the cake on top, being gentle so as not to touch the dates.

Make a bow. Pinch a piece of dough that is slightly larger than a date, use a rolling pin to roll it into a small circle, cut it in the middle with a knife, and then use chopsticks to pinch the semicircle. After the two semicircles are made, put them together, pinch them with chopsticks again, place them in the middle of the rice cake, and then place the selected dates on top.

You can let the prepared rice cakes rise for a while, then add hot water to the pot, put in a grate, put a cloth on the grate, then carefully put the prepared rice cakes in the pot, cover it, and wait for the pot to boil. It will be cooked in about 30 minutes.

When cooked, place it on a plate, cut it into rice-shaped pieces, and into small triangles, then you can eat it. From the side it looks like this.

Precautions

If you make it very big, you can put the dough into the pot, otherwise it will be difficult to put it into the pot.

Because this kind of food is generally quite large, it takes enough time to cook it, and you can extend the time appropriately depending on the size.
