The breeze is cool, the autumn is strong, and the osmanthus is sweet. From now on, it's the lotus root season, and the lotus root will be more pink in winter. For me who loves glutinous rice and lotus root, I can’t wait!
Glutinous rice and lotus root are sweet but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, and not greasy when eaten. Lotus root is rich in a variety of minerals and rich in dietary fiber, which can promote bowel movements. Cooked food can nourish the heart and kidney, reduce blood sugar and lipids, and benefit the intestines. The lotus root is cool, so adding red dates and brown sugar can also neutralize it, and it tastes better.
Osmanthus fragrans is an edible, medicinal and green plant. What is used here is not white sugar, but rock sugar and brown sugar. Brown sugar has not been highly refined and retains some of the nutrients in cane juice, as well as vitamins and trace elements. The nutrients are much higher than white sugar.

Ingredients

1 big section Lotus Root
1/2 a cup Glutinous Rice
Some Crystal Sugar
2 tablespoons Osmanthus Honey
Some Brown Sugar
5 pcs Red Dates

Osmanthus Honey Glutinous Rice Lotus Root

1. Wash the lotus root, peel it off, and cut off a small piece. The material says one section, why there are two sections. Every time I make glutinous rice and lotus root, I buy three or four sections, eat two sections for myself, and bring two sections to my friends or colleagues, so what I see here is half of what I made You can eat it by yourself and buy a large section. (Actually, you don’t need to peel it, just clean it a bit)

2. Wash the glutinous rice and soak for two hours. (You can soak for two hours if you like to eat soft and rotten, and if you like more elastic, you can just wash and drain)

3. Fill the hole with glutinous rice and fix it with a toothpick.

4. Put all the ingredients into the stewing pot and add water.

5. Start the "dessert" function of the electric cooker and press the start button. (The default is three hours. I like the soft waxy one. The stewing time has been increased. The power is not large, so don’t worry about the electricity bill.)

6. Turn the lotus root halfway through. After the procedure is over, add the sweet-scented osmanthus honey and stir evenly, soak for two to three hours. If you are in a hurry, you can also just take it out and slice it.

Tips:
Tips:
1. Choosing powder lotus root is more suitable for making glutinous rice lotus root.
2. Regarding the amount of sugar, some people think the same amount is too sweet, some people think it tasteless. You can try it after the sugar melts, and you think it's just fine.
3. The stewed lotus root is soaked in the original juice for two or three hours before eating, and the taste is better.
