Overview

Every year at the New Year's Eve dinner, there will be an eight-treasure rice on the table, symbolizing family reunion. Every few days before the Chinese New Year, my daughter will ask if there will be eight-treasure rice for the New Year’s Eve dinner. This is the dish she cares about the most, because she likes to eat the eight-treasure rice I make. It is made with raisins, red dates and other ingredients. The eight-treasure rice made is very affordable and has an authentic Xinjiang flavor. It’s much more affordable than the eight-treasure rice sold there, which doesn’t have many ingredients and only costs ten yuan for a small plate. It also feels very unhygienic. Although it’s covered with plastic wrap, I don’t know how long it’s been there, and there’s no shelf life. In fact, making this eight-treasure rice is very simple, just steam it. It is simple and affordable to make a plate of eight-treasure rice for your family during the Chinese New Year, which symbolizes reunion and reunion.
