How to make pumpkin and black sesame glutinous rice balls
1. Prepare ingredients.Glutinous rice flour, pumpkin.
2.Peel and seed the pumpkin, then steam it in a pot.
3. Fry black sesame seeds until cooked and grind into sesame powder.Add white sugar, mix with lard, and stir evenly.The ratio of black sesame powder, lard, and white sugar is roughly 2:1:2.
4.The steamed pumpkin will naturally become soft and puree-like.Take an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour, add an appropriate amount of warm water, mix the pumpkin puree and glutinous rice flour while it is hot and knead it into a wet dough.It's better to make peace in advance and wake up for a few hours.For details on how to make glutinous rice balls, see my previous recipe: Black Sesame Yuanzi (Black Sesame Rice Balls).
5. Heat the pot and boil water.
6.After the water boils, slowly put the balls into the water one by one.
7.All the balls enter the water.Shake the pan slightly so that the balls do not stick to the bottom of the pan.At this time, do not use a spatula to flip the dumplings, because the dumplings are still wet when they first enter the water, and they can easily break or stick together if you flip them.Boil until the water boils, then add appropriate amount of cold water to cool the pot.
8. Boil the water in the pot again and add cold water again.
9.Cook until the water in the pot boils and the dumplings float to the surface.
10.Add cold water again.
11. Boil until the water boils and the dumplings all surface, becoming larger and softer.Ready to serve.
12.Assemble the bowl.When decorating Yuanzi in our home, we pay attention to pairing them for good luck.If there are only two pills left in the meal, married people will have everything going well; if there is only one pill left, single people will have everything go smoothly.
13.The sweetness of pumpkin, the mellow taste of black sesame, and the softness of glutinous rice.The combination of the three is just right.
14. Pumpkin and black sesame glutinous rice balls, enjoy slowly.
Tips
1.Steamed pumpkin itself has a lot of water, so you don’t need to add too much water when making dough.
2.Yuanzi is made from glutinous rice.Glutinous rice is not easy to digest.The elderly, children and those with impaired gastrointestinal function should eat it in moderation.
3.For the recipe of glutinous rice balls, please refer to my previous recipe ~ Black Sesame Rice Balls.You can make different flavors of dumplings according to your personal taste.
4.Adding cold water several times during the process of cooking the dumplings can make the dumplings cook more thoroughly, make them easier to cook, and have a better taste.
5.When cooking the dumplings, you can also use the cooking method without adding cold water.After the water in the pot boils, turn to low heat and cook slowly until the dumplings become large and soft.But be sure to turn down the heat to a low heat.If you keep cooking over high heat, the dumplings will be cooked and the filling will leak out.
6.Wet glutinous rice flour is extremely sticky, so leave a larger gap between each round.
