1. Soak good-looking red dates and red dates that are almost uniform in size for about 30 minutes. (The red dates I bought are too big. It’s best to buy some kind of red dates with a suitable size, which is convenient and easy to see. The key is Good-looking)
2. The red dates are pitted and cut on the same side. (Well, it’s a lot of effort. You can pound it with chopsticks, poke with a straw, and use a nucleating device to remove the nucleus. Please enlarge your brain and find a way. Don’t ask me which method is easy to use. For so many broken dates, I tried several methods, and they are all okay.
3. Take an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour, add an appropriate amount of warm water, and knead it into a moderately soft and hard dough (don't ask me the ratio, I just grab a handful of flour and add a little water. If it is not enough to add more flour, no more water, for a few red dates I don’t want to adjust the ratio a little bit. After all, everyone’s dates are not the same size, and the water absorption of flour is also different, ah haha, find an excuse to be lazy
4. Divide into equal parts, um, if there are a few red dates, divide them into several parts
5. Knead the dough and stuff it into the red dates, and stick a layer of cooked sesame on the side of the dough
6. Steam in a pot under cold water on high heat. After the water is boiled, turn to medium heat and continue to steam for 5 to 10 minutes, turn off the heat
7. Take another pot, pour cold water and sugar, boil the sugar over a medium-to-low heat, and just boil the sugar.
8. Pour two tablespoons of sweet-scented osmanthus, keep on medium and low heat, don’t boil hard, you’re not afraid of mashing, right?
9. Pour into the steamed red dates and you're done
