Boluo fan

Boluo fan or pineapple rice is a method of preparing rice for consumption that is used by the Dai people, a Tai cultural group residing in Yunnan province, southwest China. The glutinous rice (usually a mix of purple and white) is soaked overnight, then steamed for around an hour. A ripe pineapple is hollowed out by slicing the top off and removing the flesh or by cutting it lengthwise in two halves, and the flesh is cut into small cubes. The steamed glutinous rice is then mixed with the removed pineapple flesh, raisins, rock sugar, salt, coconut milk, and sliced almonds. The mixture is placed back in the hollow pineapple and further steamed for another 20 minutes. Boluo fan is a sweet dish. It is used as a side dish for both Yunnan food and Sichuan dishes.
