Black sesame and sweet potato dumplings

Overview

Yesterday, my child suddenly wanted to eat glutinous rice balls, so I made a few and froze them in the refrigerator after dinner. In the morning, I only need to boil water to boil them, which is very convenient. I steamed a few sweet potatoes while cooking for dinner, and the remaining one was just mixed into the glutinous rice noodles. After cooking, the yellow color was very attractive. The filling is black sesame and peanut filling, with a little lard and honey, which is fragrant and sweet. Black sesame seeds and peanuts are must-have nuts at my house all year round. Black sesame seeds are used as medicine and food. They have the functions of nourishing the liver and kidneys, nourishing the five internal organs, replenishing essence and blood, and moisturizing the intestines. It is regarded as a sacred nourishing product. Black sesame has health-care benefits, on the one hand because it contains high-quality protein and rich minerals, and on the other hand because it contains rich unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and precious sesamin and melanin. Peanuts are recognized as a healthy food around the world. In my country, peanuts are considered one of the top ten longevity foods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the functions of peanuts are to harmonize the spleen and stomach, nourish blood and stop bleeding, and lower blood pressure and lipids. There are also many benefits of eating sweet potatoes: it has anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, good for the heart, and prevents emphysema.
