Creative Pasta——Rose Bun

Overview

I have always liked to eat and make pasta. I used to make rose rolls of different colors using various ingredients. Today I am going to make an innovation and add meat fillings to experience the different tastes! This time I used noodles mixed with purple amaranth juice. I imagined that the rose buns should be pink, but I didn’t expect that the color would become lighter after steaming. Haha, it’s not bad. The taste is still great. I’ll try it with other vegetables next time.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Remove the roots of purple amaranth and clean them.

   

2. 2 Add appropriate amount of water to the pot and bring to a boil, add amaranth and cook for one minute.

   

3. 3 Boiled amaranth juice is very bright.

   

4. 4 Add about 300ml of amaranth juice to 500 grams of flour, and mix into a pink dough. (The amount of water depends on the absorption of your own flour.) Cover with plastic wrap to rest.

   

5. 5 Prepare the filling: Put the meat filling in a glass bowl, add an appropriate amount of water and stir vigorously in one direction to make the meat filling more tender.

   

6. 6 Chop onion and ginger into fine pieces.

   

7. 7 Chop the onions into fine pieces.

   

8. 8 Put the minced onions, ginger, and onions into a bowl, add fresh soy sauce, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, sesame oil, salad oil, and salt and stir evenly.

   

9. 9 The meat filling is mixed.

   

10. 10 Take out the dough, roll it into a long strip, and cut it into small pieces of about 8 grams with a knife.

    

11. 11 Flatten the dough and roll it into a thin dough.

    

12. 12 Take five pieces of dough and place them neatly one by one, and put the filling in the middle.

    

13. 13 Fold the dough in half from bottom to top without pinching the edges, then slowly roll it up from one end, and finally glue the dough firmly with water.

    

14. 14 The rolled rose shape is beautiful, isn't it?

    

15. 15 Apply oil on the curtain, arrange the rose buns, put them into a pot of boiling water and steam them for twelve minutes.

    

16. 16 The steamed rose buns turned bright pink when heated, but I still like them very much. They taste great!
