Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root

Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root
[Zhejiang Cuisine-Glutinous Rice Lotus Root] is a very common dessert. It is not difficult to make, but it is a bit troublesome. You need to be patient when doing it. From the beginning to soak glutinous rice, to pouring rice into the hole of the lotus root, to slowly waiting for it to mature while cooking the lotus root, it all takes time and cannot be rushed. But I increasingly feel that the more effort I put into cooking, the more delicious it will be when I eat it, whether it is a big meal or a small snack. The glutinous rice lotus root is usually served with sugar osmanthus. Today, I added brown sugar to cook it, which gives the glutinous rice lotus root a carmine color.
Glutinous rice lotus root is rich in nutrients and sweet in taste. It is a dessert suitable for all ages.
