Founded in 1994, Nanjing Daipai Restaurant is a classic hotel brand that showcases unique Jinling cuisine among Nanjing residents. The couplet lanterns and ancient attire waiters shuttle between tables and tables in the restaurant are full of traditional Chinese folk customs, with an ancient and elegant atmosphere, reproducing the old appearance of tea houses and restaurants in the late Qing and early Republic of China. Based on a rich folk style, with innovation and sublimation, there are hundreds of folk cooking snacks, rural vegetables, cooked at home, and authentic flavors. Among them, there are specialty dishes such as glutinous rice and lotus root. Wash the glutinous rice and soak it in water for three hours. Drain the soaked glutinous rice and set it aside. Brush the lotus root with mud, remove the skin, and wash it thoroughly. Cut the lotus root at a thickness of about 5cm from one end, fill the soaked glutinous rice with chopsticks into each lotus root hole, and knock the lotus root body while filling it. Stuff the glutinous rice tightly and fill it with rice. Then, place the cut lid and glutinous rice back in place and fix it with toothpicks. Use toothpicks in pairs to fix the lotus root body. Secure the lotus root well and cook it for a long time to prevent any dew. Place the lotus root in a pressure cooker, add an appropriate amount of water, and make sure to foam over the lotus root body. It's okay to add more. There is no need to cover any ingredients with a pressure cooker. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 40 minutes over low heat. After releasing the air, open the pressure cooker. The water used to cook the lotus root is a light red color. Add an appropriate amount of brown sugar, jujube and rock sugar, as well as a suitable amount of dried osmanthus. The amount of brown sugar, rock sugar, red dates, and osmanthus can be adjusted by yourself. If you like something with a strong taste and bright colors, add more ingredients. For those who prefer a lighter flavor, the amount of ingredients can be reduced. After the high-pressure cooker is heated and aerated, cook for 20 minutes and turn off the heat. Let the pressure cooker stand still and let it deflate before boiling. Here is the key point. Use medium heat to thicken the lotus root juice. To expose the soup of lotus roots, use a spoon to continuously scoop the soup onto the lotus roots. The soup is thick and shiny. Take the glutinous rice root out of the pot and let it cool before slicing it. When eating, sprinkle it with lotus root juice. It is a classic delicacy, with lotus root and glutinous rice as ingredients for blessings, rich in nutrients and sweet in taste.
