It's been raining a lot recently, so I took advantage of the fact that the rain stopped slightly two days ago to go back to my hometown for a walk. Returned last night. Start a normal food life today.
Whenever it rains, it feels chilly. In such weather, I am most willing to make a warm dessert for myself and hold it in my hand. It warms my hands that have been cold since autumn and winter, and also warms my mood caused by the continuous rain.
Raw lotus root can cool blood and dissipate blood stasis, and cooked food can nourish the heart and kidneys. It has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing blood. It can replenish the deficiency of the five internal organs, strengthen the bones and muscles, and enrich blood and nourish blood. In addition, glutinous rice, which is rich in nutrients and has the effects of warming and strengthening, replenishing the middle and replenishing qi, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and stopping deficiency sweating, will have a lot of benefits to the body when eaten.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, brown sugar is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the spleen. It has the effects of replenishing qi and replenishing blood, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, relieving pain, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Rock sugar warms the middle and nourishes the qi, harmonizes the stomach and moistens the lungs, and relieves cough and phlegm. Although it is very sweet, its nature is relatively peaceful and should not be moist, phlegm, or heat. There is no drawback that brown sugar can cause warmth. The two complement each other. Eating in moderation can give women perfect care.
Many times, women need to pamper themselves more!
When eating it hot, pour it on with the thick sugar juice, and the taste will be great!
If you don't think it's sweet enough, you can pour in honey, which will add icing on the cake to the taste of glutinous rice lotus root!

Steps for glutinous rice lotus root
1
Add appropriate amount of white sugar to glutinous rice.
2
Soak in warm water for two hours.
3
Gently scrub the lotus root off the outer skin with a steel wire ball and clean it.
4
Soaked glutinous rice controls the moisture. Cut the lotus root two centimeters inward from the lotus node, and put the glutinous rice into the lotus root eyes. Use chopsticks to poke while loading to ensure that the lotus root eyes are full.
5
Also put glutinous rice in a small part that is cut off.
6
Fix the installed lotus root in two large and small sections with toothpicks.
7
One lotus root node was not very good, so I simply replaced the lotus node with an apple.
8
Place the glutinous rice and fix the lotus root nodes into the pot, add water, until the water reaches at least the lotus root, and add rock sugar and wolfberry.
9
Add brown sugar. The amount of brown sugar and rock sugar added depends on personal taste, and friends who like sweetness can add more.
10
Wash the red dates and place them into the pan.
11
Open fire, bring water to a boil, turn to medium heat, and slowly simmer. Simmer until the soup has become significantly thinner, then turn to low heat.
12
Simmer until the soup is almost dry and the lotus roots are soft and glutinous. Turn off the heat and serve.
