1. Prepare ingredients. 600 grams of glutinous rice and 300 grams of red dates. (It is best to choose glutinous rice with round grains, so that it has a softer texture.)
2. Soak the red dates for 30 minutes and set aside.
3. Clean the glutinous rice and add a small amount of water. Put it in a steamer and steam on high heat for 25 minutes. (Because of the tight time, the glutinous rice was not soaked in advance. If you have soaked the glutinous rice in advance, the amount of water should be reduced accordingly when steaming.)
4. After steaming, stir the glutinous rice with chopsticks until it is sticky, then cover the pot, steam for 20 minutes, and finally turn off the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. The glutinous rice is ready.
5. Put the red dates in the pot and cook for 15 minutes, then remove them and set aside.
6. Take a fresh-keeping box and put a layer of fresh-keeping film on it. Then, put on the gloves once and spread the glutinous rice evenly on the bottom of the box, as shown in the figure, about 2 cm thick.
7. Spread a layer of red dates, as shown in the picture.
8. Spread a layer of glutinous rice, a layer of red dates, and a layer of glutinous rice until they are all installed, and the surface is covered with plastic wrap, as shown in the figure.
9. Find a heavy object to compact the cut cake. (Because I didn't find a weight of the right size, so I filled some water in the fresh-keeping bag, and then pressed it on the cut cake, the effect is also good.)
10. When eating, put some water on the knife, and then you can easily cut the cut cake. (After refrigerating, sprinkle some sugar to eat, it tastes better~)
Tips:You can also use an electric rice cooker to steam glutinous rice. After steaming, remember to stir it for a while to make it sticky.
