How to make heart-shaped purple rice cake

Many modern people spend their days in a hurry, have irregular meals and almost always eat out. So below I will first introduce the method of making heart-shaped purple rice cake.

1.a. Soak black rice and glutinous rice overnight in as little water as possible (the water should be about 1cm higher than the rice). b. Drain the rice soaking water into a clean bowl and set aside.

2.12 Dry the drained rice grains in the shade until the rice grains no longer stick together but are still a little cool and moist when you grab a handful with your hand (I use the cold air of a hair dryer to do this).

3.21 Use a food processor to grind the dried rice grains into coarse powder. It is coarse powder because we are making rice cakes, not dumplings.

4. After beating into coarse powder, sprinkle some rice soaking water in the powder, because the powder will taste hard if it is too dry, and too sticky if it is too wet. So, sprinkle water with your right hand and mix the powder with your left hand until it is moist but not wet.

5. Grease the heart-shaped mould with oil.

6. Pour 1/2 of the coarse powder into a heart-shaped mold and press it down, then squeeze a layer of bean paste on it. The bean paste should occupy 2/3 of the entire surface of the coarse powder. If it is filled up, the bean paste will be exposed when viewed from the side.

7. Pour the remaining coarse powder into the heart-shaped mold and compact it.

8. Add 500ml of cold water to the pot and steam over medium heat for 15 minutes and then turn off the heat.

Today I am introducing to you the heart-shaped purple rice cake that I have collected for many years. I hope it will be welcomed and liked by you. If you are interested, please follow my method to try making it.
