Steps
-
Wash and slice the red dates, add 800g of water and cook for 15 minutes, then add 200g of white sugar and cook for 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
-
Put 250g of water chestnut powder in a larger container. Here I use a larger soup pot. Add 250g of water chestnut powder to 500g of water and stir
-
Crush the cooked red dates and filter the water while it is hot. Add the hot red dates water to the water chestnuts prepared before. Stir clockwise while adding. Add in small amounts at several times and stir evenly
-
Put the steamer in the steamer and boil the water first. I use a baking pan as the container for steaming the red date cake. Put it into the pot and steam it until the baking pan is hot. Then add the stirred water chestnuts. Be sure to stir constantly. The water chestnuts will sink if you don't stir. Stir evenly and then add it to the baking pan. Because my baking pan is relatively small, add two spoons at a time, which is the soup spoon we usually use. Add and cover the pot and steam for 3 to 5 minutes until it is transparent.
-
Repeat this process and add water from the water chestnuts, steam until the last layer is done, and then steam for 10 minutes before taking it out of the pot. If this happens, it is best to steam it until it becomes transparent.
