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.
