Red Dates With Warm Osmanthus Blossom Syrup Recipe

Directions

Adding 1/2 cup water and sugar to a saucepan, bring to boil then reduce heat and simmer for three minutes. Add osmanthus blossoms, stir, and set aside. Soak red dates in 1 cup boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain and cool. Then, using pointed scissors, cut dates upon along one side and carefully remove seed. Combine rice flour and 2 tablespoons water, mixing until it reaches a Play-Do consistency. Pinch off small pieces of rice paste and roll into cylinders. Place cylinders into each date and press closed. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add dates, boil for 3 minutes, and drain. Serve immediately with osmanthus syrup poured over the top.
