👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the glutinous rice: Rinse the glutinous rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in plenty of water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Drain the soaked rice thoroughly.
⏱️ 5 minutes active, 4+ hours soaking
2
Cook the rice: Transfer the drained glutinous rice to a heatproof bowl or a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam over high heat for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and cooked through. The rice should be translucent and sticky. While the rice is still hot, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and lard (or oil). Gently mix and fold until the sugar and fat are fully incorporated and the rice is glossy. Be careful not to mash the grains.
⏱️ 40 minutes
3
Prepare the mold: Generously grease a decorative heatproof bowl or mold (about 6-8 cup capacity) with lard or oil. This is crucial for easy unmolding. Arrange the prepared dried fruits, red dates, lotus seeds, and goji berries in a decorative pattern at the bottom of the greased mold. Think of a flower or a star.
⏱️ 15 minutes
4
Assemble the Ba Bao Fan: Spread about half of the seasoned glutinous rice evenly over the decorative layer in the mold. Gently press down to compact it. Dollop the red bean paste over the rice layer, spreading it evenly without reaching the edges. Top with the remaining glutinous rice, pressing down firmly to create a compact, even layer. Ensure there are no air pockets.
⏱️ 10 minutes
5
Steam the dessert: Cover the mold tightly with foil or a lid. Place the mold in a steamer basket or on a rack over boiling water. Steam over medium-high heat for about 45-60 minutes, or until the rice is thoroughly heated through and sticky. Ensure the water level in the steamer is maintained.
⏱️ 1 hour
6
Unmold and serve: Carefully remove the mold from the steamer. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. To unmold, place a serving plate over the top of the mold. Holding both firmly, quickly invert them. Gently lift the mold. If it sticks, tap the bottom or sides lightly. Serve warm.
⏱️ 10 minutes

✓Grease the mold very generously with lard or oil to prevent sticking. This is the most critical step for successful unmolding.
✓Pack the rice and fillings firmly into the mold to create a cohesive dessert that holds its shape.
✓If the rice is difficult to unmold, briefly steam the inverted mold again for a few minutes to loosen it.
