Northern Shaanxi Yellow Steamed Bun
1.
Wash the red dates and soak for about 2 hours. Then the red dates are steamed and pitted; the red beans are washed and soaked for 2 to 3 hours
2.
Then pour the soaked red beans and the pitted and steamed red dates into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water and cook; cook until the red beans are out of the sand, and then decide whether you need to add some white sugar according to your own taste. If you add white sugar, you need to add some white sugar. After mixing the sugar and the contents of the pot, turn the heat to a low heat and cook for 5 minutes. [I remember I asked the old man Huang specifically about this and said that there is no need to add sugar. But after I tried it, I didn't think it worked. The jujubes we can buy here are not as sweet as the old man Huang grows himself. If there is no sugar, the jujube meat will have no sweetness at all, so I still need to add a little bit. 】Then remove the juice, mash, and let cool for later use
