Cooking tips 💡

• After draining 4 cups of glutinous rice completely, pour in 4 cups of water and soak for 1 hour to achieve a chewy yet evenly cooked texture.
• Mix the sugar, salt, and cinnamon powder evenly before cooking to prevent them from clumping and burning on the bottom.
• Hard beans should be boiled in advance or soaked sufficiently; pine nuts are not boiled but used as a garnish after cooking.
