  • Ilho Make Tips

    1. Steamed flour is used as a binder for the filling; adding some helps the filling hold together. Steamed flour becomes hard and needs to be crushed with a rolling pin before use. 2. Blanch the glutinous rice in boiling water for a short time; it should still have a slight raw center before being removed. 3. Drain the water from the glutinous rice before steaming, and be sure to wrap it in a cloth. Do not steam for too long, or the glutinous rice will become too soft and mushy, affecting the texture. 4. Do not overwork the glutinous rice, or the Ai Wo Wo will become too sticky and gummy. 5. The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to personal preference. 6. Traditional Ai Wo Wo filling uses osmanthus jam, but adding rose jam this time was also good. 7. Ai Wo Wo is best eaten fresh; keeping it for too long will cause it to harden and affect the texture.
