2 cups glutinous rice

1 cup water

1/2 cup jujubes, pitted and chopped

1/2 cup chestnuts, cooked and roughly chopped

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Using fresh jujubes yields the best flavor, but dried ones work if soaked beforehand.

Ensure the glutinous rice is soaked long enough to achieve the right texture during steaming.
