Ingredients
Steps
-
Soak the glutinous rice in cold water one night in advance. The water is more than twice the amount of rice.
-
Drain the water and steam in a steamer over high heat,
-
Prepare the ingredients, soak the sweet potato powder with water, and soak the wolfberry in cold water for about ten minutes
-
Pour the steamed glutinous rice into a clean large basin, stir it with chopsticks and wait until it is warm and not hot to your hands.
-
Cut the cooked bacon into small pieces, and the fat-to-lean ratio is 2:8.
-
After the glutinous rice is warmed, add peppercorns, ginger, bacon cubes, salt, and chicken essence and mix well.
-
Chop the carrots into fine pieces and mix well
-
Add eggs, wolfberry, and sweet potato flour (to increase stickiness)
-
Add chopped green onion and mix well
-
Take a small ball, shape it into a round shape, and pinch it tightly, just like making glutinous rice balls. You can also add fillings in the middle, or you can add no fillings. The ones I have are filled with sandy meat fillings, which are sweet. They are made of cooked rice beans, ground into fine pieces, added with sugar and lard. When you touch a little water with your hands, they will stop sticking.
-
Wrap the dumplings and steam them for about fifteen minutes.
-
The aroma hits your face, you'll fall in love with it after one bite, it's so delicious!
-
Yuanzi symbolizes reunion and happiness, and I wish my friends a happy Year of the Rooster, all the best, and complete success!
