@@MadeWithLau 7:47, the correct pronunciation is (gloo' tin es) /ˈɡlo͞otnəs/ rice as in "glue" or as in gluten in bread. Not pronounced gluttonous as in to overeat so your "gut" is full. Glutinous rice is also known as sweet rice but it is not literally sweet from any form of sugar. Nor does it contain gluten.

Aloha from Nuuanu, Hawaii, thanks for producing this taro cake recipe it's the best. Refer to it whenever I harvest Chinese taro from my yard and make taro cake, which I love to eat and reminds me of my mom's taro cake that she made over half a century ago. Unfortunately, she is gone and so is her recipe. The rice pounder also reminds me of the one that my grandmother had and all my uncles had to pound rice to make the floor for gau.
