Cooking Skills of Chaoshan Snack Yamu Nian
The reason for boiling separately is that the water will become a bit milky white when boiling yamu nian. If you boil them separately like me, the water will be very clear. Keep a little more flour to prevent it from being too sticky if too much water is added. Different brands of glutinous rice flour have different water absorption rates. There are about 25 yamu nian.
