Oriental Food Recipe: Laughing Dates (For the Dinner on New Year's Eve)

The dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is also known as the family reunion dinner. The Chinese New Year's Eve is extremely important for Chinese people, and so is the family reunion dinner.
The Chinese New Year of 2010 is coming up soon. At this time, I would like to introduce a traditional dish on the family reunion dinner: the laughing dates:



Ingredients: 150 grams of candied dates; 350 grams glutinous rice balls; 20 grams of rock sugar

1. Cut a small crack on the date, and then carefully put the small glutinous rice balls into the date through the crack;
2. Add water and the rock candy into the pot, then put the processed dates in and boil until the dates float;
3. It would be even better to put the dates into a refrigerator after the boiling, and sever after they are completely cooled off.
