Glutinous rice and lotus root
Overview
No matter how you eat the glutinous rice lotus root, you will never get tired of it. It is sweet and glutinous, and the broken lotus root silk is still connected. It is sticky when you take a bite, and the long lotus root silk is free between the lips and teeth. It is full of sweetness, coupled with the fragrance of osmanthus, it is really addictive as soon as you eat it. After taking another sip of the soup, you feel warm all winter. It's both food and rice, so delicious that it has no friends. In the past, I used a pressure cooker to make glutinous rice and lotus root, which took a relatively short time. Today I switched to an electric stew pot and cooked it for more than 5 hours. I simmered it slowly on low heat. I used nutritious old brown sugar and added white fungus and jujube. The stewed lotus root and white fungus were soft, glutinous and sweet, and the jujube felt like they were melting. The soup was very rich, and every bite was sweet and satisfying. Kitchenware: Supor Intelligent Electric Stew Pot is a very practical electric stew pot. There is no heat during the whole stew process, and there is no water falling into the pot. I just put it on the dining table, make a reservation for the time, and then I can stew with confidence and open the pot for dinner at the right time. It is really convenient and practical. Thank you very much to Gourmet World for the opportunity to try it, and thank the merchant for the good product.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Wash the glutinous rice repeatedly and soak it in cold water for more than 4 hours. Some people recommend not soaking it, and some people want to soak it overnight. I usually soak it for about 4 hours. You can do it according to your own ideas.
-
Peel and wash the lotus roots. The lotus roots are crisp, tender, white and plump, and are very delicious when served cold. It is said that lotus roots in the south are unsaleable this year. The lotus root farmers have worked hard for a year and cannot get back their capital. Let us consume more, which is also to support the lotus root farmers. Moreover, the nutritional value of lotus root is also high, especially the cooked lotus root, which is sweet and warm in taste. It can strengthen the spleen and appetite, replenish blood and heart, replenish the five internal organs, and have the functions of digestion, quenching thirst, and promoting body fluid production.
-
Cut the lotus root about 4-5 cm away from the node head, rinse the lotus root eyes with water, and drain the water. I cut it a little bigger, because the pot is small and a little bit needs to be removed before it can be put into the pot, so I have to choose the right place so that the lotus roots can still be closed.
-
Drain the soaked glutinous rice, and then put the glutinous rice into the lotus root eyes. You can use chopsticks to fill both sections with the glutinous rice.
-
Place the cut piece over the cutout and secure with toothpicks.
-
Soak the white fungus in advance, clean it and tear it into small florets. Soak the jujube for about 10 minutes and wash it repeatedly.
-
Put the processed lotus roots into the pot, add water until the lotus roots are submerged, add the white fungus and brown sugar to the pot at the same time, and add the jujube later.
-
Put the inner pot into the pot, cover the pot, turn on the power, set the multi-grain porridge, and turn on the switch. The time is 4.3 hours. Before that, I chose dessert. It took 3.3 hours, which felt a bit short. I cooked it for about half an hour and switched to multigrain porridge, which was enough time.
-
After about two and a half hours, add the jujube.
-
When the time is up, it took about 5 hours of cooking in total for the two times. It seems that the lotus root is cooked just right. The rice has risen, but luckily it has not burst.
-
Take out the lotus root. The color looks very attractive. Eat it while cutting it. It’s so delicious.
-
Slice the lotus root and put it on a plate. Depending on your personal preference, you can sprinkle some osmanthus honey. The sweet-scented osmanthus will fragrantly make you very appetizing.
