Hi, everyone. Today we are making a popular yet traditional dish from the south of Yangtze River region in China. Lotus root with sweet-scented osmanthus flower and sticky rice. The name is quite a mouthful, but the recipe is absolutely simple. It can be consumed as a side dish, an appetizer or a dessert.


The crunchy lotus roots become smooth and soft after simmering for a long time, perfectly fused with the texture of the sticky rice. The sticky rice, in turn, soaked up the essence of the lotus root. Osmanthus flower is very fragrant, adding a nice floral hint. Black sugar, rock sugar and Chinese dates, gave the lotus root a honeyed coating and just enough amount of sweetness.

Together they make a beautiful dish like the spring near Yangtze River, where the dish is from, moist, smooth and aromatic.

So before the season ends, why don’t you try out this spring like dish?

大家好，今天来做一道桂花糯米藕。桂花糯米藕是江南一带的传统名点，一道独具特色的甜点小吃，可作小菜、冷盘、或甜点享用。

香脆的藕经过长时间的炖煮，变得绵密软糯，与糯米的口感完美融合。糯米吸收了莲藕的香味。桂花香气浓郁，给莲藕加上了一丝花香。黑糖冰糖加上红枣，給藕裹上了一层糖衣。甜而不腻，又益气补血。

加在一起就像江南的春，滋润、软糯、甜香。

在这个春天的尾巴，一起来做一做这道春天般美好的桂花糯米藕吧。
