1. If you can buy rice flour and glutinous rice flour, you don't need rice grains; you can simply stir them into a paste to make it.
2. Almond flour is sold at the grain counters of major supermarkets. You can also make it yourself using almonds, but they need to be soaked and peeled.
3. In the South, you can also use osmanthus sugar, dried osmanthus, or osmanthus jam.
4. Do not cook it until it is too thick; it just needs to have a flowing consistency. If it is too thick, you can add some water while cooking, but it is best to add the right amount of water at once.
5. If you do not have green and red candied peel, you can put in some chopped dried fruit as a substitute.
