Red Date Steamed Bun

Red Date Steamed Bun

Overview

I am fortunate to have the opportunity to try out Yushengyuan's Xinjiang Ruoqiang fine-grade red dates. Thank you to the editors and directors of Gourmet World. Yushengyuan Xinjiang Ruoqiang fine-grade red dates, commonly known as gray dates, are a nutritious tonic. Ruoqiang County has scarce precipitation, high temperatures and dryness, abundant light and heat sources, a long frost-free period, and a large temperature difference between day and night. It is particularly suitable for the growth of Ruoqiang jujubes. The characteristics of Ruoqiang jujube are small size, long shape, small core, solid porcelain flesh, melting in the mouth, delicate meat texture, sweet and mellow taste. Eating it is like drinking clear spring water in the bright mountains. This feeling can only be achieved by Ruoqiang jujube. The following is a very ordinary homemade steamed jujube steamed bun made with Yushengyuan Xinjiang Ruoqiang fine-grade red dates. Due to the use of this high-quality red dates, although the cooking method is homely, the taste is very good. The meat of the red dates is thick, sweet and sour, and is suitable for all ages. For people like me who don’t like to eat pasta, I can’t put it down. Friends who are interested may give it a try. It is a delicious dish worth trying.
