Osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root
Overview
Glutinous rice with osmanthus and lotus root is sweet and glutinous with the aroma of osmanthus. It is a very popular Jiangnan dish. The sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root dish I made today basically follows the traditional method, but uses relatively healthy brown sugar instead. Although the color of the finished product made with brown sugar is not good, the taste and nutrition are better than those made with white sugar. The kitchenware uses a pressure cooker, which can quickly cook the glutinous rice and lotus roots until they are soft and fragrant, so that even office workers can prepare this classic dish more quickly. If you slightly change the old dish, you will have a different feeling when you make it,
