Geser Zheze

　　Geser Zheze

     is made by cooking rice to about seventy or eighty percent doneness, then draining and rinsing it with cold water to remove excess starch. The rice is mixed with butter, placed in a steamer, and steamed until fully cooked. Meanwhile, the highland barley seeds known as "jue ma" are also cooked. When serving, half of the plate is filled with the steamed rice and the other half with cooked jue ma, topped with white sugar and poured over with butter. It is served hot and tastes excellent. This dish is especially popular in pastoral areas.
