How to make sticky nest

Modern people are under great pressure in life and work, so we must relieve stress in time. Among the methods of stress relief, the most common one is diet. If you often feel stressed, you might as well try making yourself a delicious meal. After eating it, you may find that the world has become different. So, let me tell you about how to make sticky dumplings.

1. First prepare about 2 kilograms of small dates (I like sweet food, so I put a lot of dates. In fact, the number of dates can be determined according to personal preference, more or less, too much will be too sweet, too little will be tasteless, at least one kilogram should be put).

2.1 Pour the yellow rice flour into a basin, then add the processed jujube meat and stir evenly. Use boiling water to scald the dough (so that the steamed dumplings will stick together). Try your best to knead the jujube meat into the dough (or stir it with chopsticks), and make sure it is mixed evenly, so that the jujube and the dough are in harmony, so that it tastes good.

3.2 Then wash the jujubes and drain the moisture. Use the back of a knife to tap the date pit a few times to separate it from the date flesh, then take out the pit.

4. Let it dry for a while, otherwise it will be difficult to shape. Use your hands to roll it into small balls. The ones I made are relatively small because this kind of dough is very sticky and is not easy to cook without fermentation.

5. Place the small nests on the drawer, leaving some space between them and not too crowded. Cover the pot and start steaming. Start timing when you see large clouds of steam coming out.

6. After about fifty minutes… it’s out of the pot. The aroma of dates and rice hits you. It’s sweet in the aroma and fragrant in the sweetness. It’s soft and sticky in the mouth, just the taste you imagined…

Although the dish of sticky rice balls is simple to make, if you have never cooked and don’t understand how to make it, you might as well ask your elders for help. Under their guidance, you will definitely be able to do better.
