by Mo Qi
--Ingredients--
2 red dates
1 Chinese yam
Rice (as needed)
--Method--
? Peel and slice the yam.
? Pit the red dates and cut into strips.
? Rice.My newly purchased tribute rice from Xiaochufang just arrived, so I tried it today.
?The red dates were also bought from Xiaochufang Market... Truly, all eating and drinking happen in the kitchen! Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer slowly!! Cook until thick and sticky!! Never add all the water at once, and avoid adding water midway!
?The sweetness from the red dates was perfectly sufficient, and the tribute rice had a satisfying chewy texture!
