Oil cake

Overview

Because the word "cake" is homophonic to "gao", which means climbing higher step by step, auspiciousness and wealth, people often eat it during New Year's Day, weddings and funerals, children's full moon, birthdays, old people's birthdays, and when building houses, so it is also called rice cake or wedding cake. Today is my daughter’s birthday. I let her eat the wedding cake made by her mother. I hope she will be sweet every day!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients: glutinous rice noodles, warm water, red dates, red bean paste. (appropriate amount)

   

2. 2 Pour the warm water into the glutinous rice noodles one at a time, and stir it evenly with both hands. We call it "not rotten", which means stir it into a flocculent shape.

   

3. 3 Use your hands to shape the fluffy glutinous rice bread into a nest shape, put it in a steamer and steam it for 15-20 minutes.

   

4. 4 After steaming, put it into a basin, dip your hands in cold water and massage the steamed noodles, that is, beat them, so that the noodles will be strong. Finally, pour sesame oil on the surface so that the surface does not stick to your hands and the second side does not get cold easily. (I had both hands occupied at the time, and my daughter helped take the photo).

   

5. 5 Boil the red dates in boiling water for more than an hour, take them out, mash the red dates with one end of a rolling pin, and remove the date cores. Mix the red bean puree, jujube puree and white sugar together to complete the filling of the oil cake. (Although it looks ugly, it tastes good)

   

6. 6 Shape the dough into small pieces, unfold it, add the jujube paste filling, shape it into a round shape, and flatten it with the palm of your hand. The oil cake is finished.

   

7. 7 After the sesame oil is burned, add the oil cake and fry until golden brown and take it out.

   

8. 8 In the morning, I fried fried cakes for my daughter and made a bowl of longevity noodles with mutton, how beautiful! (Since the entire production process took place at night and in the morning before dawn, the photos were not very good, but my daughter participated in the entire process, which is better than anything else)!
