Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:Prepare the ingredients. 600g glutinous rice and 300g red dates. The best choice for glutinous rice is round rice. It tastes softer and waxier

2. 

   Step2:Soak the dates for 30 minutes.

3. 

   Step3:Clean the glutinous rice. Add a small amount of water. Put into a steamer. Steam over high heat for 25 minutes. (due to time constraints, the glutinous rice was not soaked in advance. If the parents have soaked the glutinous rice in advance, the amount of water should be reduced during steaming.)

4. 

   Step4:After steaming, use chopsticks to stir the glutinous rice until it is sticky. Then cover the pot and steam for 20 minutes. Finally, turn off the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. The glutinous rice is ready.

5. 

   Step5:Put the dates in the pot and cook for 15 minutes. Then remove them for later use.

6. 

   Step6:Take a fresh-keeping box and lay a layer of fresh-keeping film inside. Then. Put on gloves once. Spread the glutinous rice evenly on the bottom of the box, as shown in the picture. It's about 2cm thick.

7. 

   Step7:Spread a layer of dates, as shown in the picture.

8. 

   Step8:Spread another layer of glutinous rice, one layer of red dates and one layer of glutinous rice until they are all packed. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, as shown in the figure.

9. 

   Step9:Find a heavy object and compact the cake. (I didn't find the right weight. So, I put some water in the fresh-keeping bag, and then put it on the cutting cake. The effect is also good.)

10. 

    Step10:When eating, put some water on the knife. Then you can easily cut the cake. (sprinkle some white sugar after cold storage. It tastes better.
