"In China this richly exotic dish is eaten on the 8th day of the 12th month of the lunar calendar. Why? I have no idea, can you tell me? Two-hour soaking time required. From Ethnic Cuisine."

- Soak the rice in a bowl of cold water for at least 2 hours. Drain well. Soak the peanuts, pine nuts, and lotus seeds in a separate bowl of cold water for at least 1 hour. Drain well. Soak the dried fruits as necessary. Drain well. Chop all the large fruits into small pieces.

Absolutely loved this pudding, & I was surprused to find lotus seeds at a local market! For the dried fruit I used apricots, Fuji apples, dates & golden raisins! Really enjoyed it hot, but also liked the leftovers when cold! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed while touring Asia during the World Tour 4]
