    1. If using regular red dates, wash them clean, soak for half an hour, microwave for a few minutes, remove, let cool, and remove the pits. 2. For the slightly damp powdered sugar, remember to add just a little bit of water; it should be neither too wet nor too dry, but just right. If there is too much water, the powder will clump together and cannot be crumbled. 3. If your ingredients are already in powder form and powdered sugar, you won't need a food processor, which makes it more convenient. 4. You can use short-grain rice instead of indica rice for a stickier texture (the ratio of the two rices can be adjusted to your preference, and the stickiness will change accordingly). 5. Cut them into your preferred shapes, ensuring the sizes are uniform.
