Glutinous rice and lotus root

Overview

This dish is made by soaking glutinous rice, stuffing it into lotus root eyes, and adding red dates and brown sugar to cook it. We eat a lot of big fish and meat during the Chinese New Year, so why not try this Chinese dessert? It’s really nice to add a dessert like this to the New Year’s Eve dinner table.
