How to make ash water rice dumplings

People cannot live without food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, which are the most basic things, especially "food", which is related to human life and death. To do well in the "food" aspect, you'd better learn to cook each dish by yourself. Well, let me introduce to you how to make the dish of ash water rice dumplings.

1. Use a bamboo basket to fill it with an appropriate amount of wood ash, boil a pot of water, pour the boiling water on the wood ash, put a jar underneath, the water flowing down is the ash water, which is yellow in color. The resulting water needs to be filtered a second time.

2.121 Soak the rice for about 24 hours, then take it out and drain some of the water before making rice dumplings. (Soak during the day and leave it overnight at least)

3.212 After the filtered ash water is left to settle, clean ash water is obtained and used to soak rice. Wash the rice three times with clean water and drain it.

4. Prepared rice dumplings leaves. (This is the leaf used to wrap rice dumplings in my hometown. It must be boiled and rinsed in water before use)

5. First take a large leaf and hold it in your hand.

6.1 Add appropriate amount of rice.

7.2 Place a layer of small leaves on top of the large leaves, and then place two more leaves flat in the middle.

8.1 After that, hold it with your right hand and fold it down. (If the empty leaves are too long, you can cut some of them off)

9.2 Fold the right side in first, then fold the left side back and pinch it.

10. Wrap one end in the same way. (When you turn it over, the top will be staggered and the rice won’t leak out.)

11. Place the middle section of the cotton thread under the middle of the rice dumpling, and wrap the cotton thread back from the outer end of the rice dumpling to the middle.

12. Tie it up.

13. It’s a full basket.

14.Cook rice dumplings. Set the time according to the size of the rice dumplings. When cooking rice dumplings, turn them over once and put the top ones at the bottom.

15. You can take one and check if there are whole grains of rice in the middle of the rice dumpling, which will make it softer and crispier.

16. Use cotton thread to cut into circles and sprinkle some white sugar or honey on them.

17. It can also be wrapped into a cone-shaped rice dumpling. Do you like it?
