Three red blood-tonifying rice dumplings

Overview

This rice dumpling uses not only red beans and red dates, but also specially selected hundred-day red peanuts. They are all blood-enhancing ingredients, and all three are red, so I call it the three-red blood-tonifying rice dumpling. The taste of this rice dumpling is very rich. Peanuts, red beans and sweet red dates are eaten together with the sticky rice. The aroma of sweet and glutinous peanuts and beans comes through. It’s quite delicious

2. 2 Soak the glutinous rice about 3 hours in advance

   

3. 3 Mix the soaked rice, beans and peanuts together

   

4. 4 Wash the red dates and set aside. The Zanzao dates I used from Xinjiang are large and very sweet

   

5. 5 Wash the reed leaves and scald them in boiling water before use. You don’t need to boil them for a long time, so that the fragrance of the leaves will be retained more

   

6. 6 Roll up the rice dumpling leaves from one end and roll them into a cone shape without leaving any holes at the bottom

   

7. 7 Fill the bottom and top with rice beans, and put red dates in the middle

   

8. 8 Fold the leaves off from the top

   

9. 9 Pinch the diagonal corner for a discount

   

10. 10 Turn back with the trend

    

11. 11 Tie it up

    

12. 12 All wrapped rice dumplings

    

13. 13 Add water to cover the rice dumplings by 2-3 cm

    

14. 14 Press it with a plate on top so that the rice dumplings are completely immersed in the water when cooking

    

15. 15 Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for one and a half hours.
