1. Soak the rice in cold water, the water should be less than the rice, I soak the night in advance. The rice can be squeezed open with your hands and it will be soaked
2. Soak dates, the water has not passed the dates. Soak it softly
3. Crush the soaked dates and set aside
4. Put the basket cloth on this layer of the steamer
5. Spread glutinous rice on the cage cloth
6. Spread a layer of crushed dates on top of the glutinous rice (you don’t need to crush them, but you can put some raisins on it, depending on your preference)
7. Spread another layer of rice and set it on fire to start steaming. Wait for the water to boil and take a timer, and steam for 30 minutes. During this period, set up another pot to boil the hydrated rock sugar. After 30 minutes, open the lid, pour the melted rock sugar water slowly and evenly into the rice (when you see the sugar water bubbling on the surface of the rice, use chopsticks to put a few holes in the rice, and then Pour in the sugar water to ensure that the bottom rice is also sweet)
8. After pouring the sugar water, steam it for 10 minutes (it is also timed after the pan is gassing), pour the sugar water again, and steam for another 10 minutes (the time is when the pan is gassing).
