Tips:
You can cook glutinous rice and lotus root in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes, and let it deflate naturally. It’s also very convenient for me to use a rice cooker. I cook it at night and soak it overnight. The taste is soaked in the lotus root and glutinous rice. The remaining glutinous rice can be cooked in porridge, or poured directly into the pot for boiling lotus root, and it is like a porridge, which is also very delicious.
