Tips: Soak the glutinous rice thoroughly so it cooks evenly all the way through.
Tips: Since the chestnuts and jujubes are already sweet, it's best not to add too much brown sugar at the beginning.
Tips: Pine nuts can lose some of their aroma if steamed too long, so you can add them halfway through.
Tips: Let it cool completely before slicing so it holds its shape better.
