1. The rice soaked this time is relatively long, and the rice cooked is really soft and sticky. Friends who like soft and sticky rice dumplings can try to brew it for a longer time, while those who like Q and have a bit chewy can brew it for a shorter time or no soak. 2. Be sure to tie it tightly when wrapping it, at least not to leak the pan when it is cooked to the end--a talk from experience. 3. You can adjust the cooking time according to the size of the rice dumplings. 4. Put the rice dumplings that cannot be eaten in cold water, and it can be refrigerated or even frozen in the refrigerator. 5. Don't eat too much at one time, otherwise it will not be easy to digest. It is said that adding a little less alkali to the soaked rice can make the rice dumplings more chewy and facilitate digestion. You can try it! 6. The ratio of dried fruits to sticky rice is 1:1. If there are too many dried fruits, it will easily become sticky.
