Ingredients
Steps
-
Dry-fry the red peanuts in a wok until cooked, let cool and set aside.
-
Peel the peanuts after cooling.
-
Crush the peanuts with a rolling pin.
-
Because the green and red silk my dad bought this time was very wet, we spread it out to dry it two days in advance.
-
Chop the dried green and red shreds.
-
Mix green and red silk, peanut kernels and white sugar in a ratio of 1:1:3.
-
Use warm water to knead the glutinous rice flour into a soft dough.
-
Pull off a small piece of dough, dip your hands into some dry glutinous rice flour, and roll it into a ball. While holding the small dough ball with your left hand, slowly rotate it. The index finger of your right hand will make a pit in the center of the small dough ball in the direction of rotation. Be careful not to make the surrounding dough too thick.
-
Stuff the mixed Yuanxiao stuffing into the small pit, slowly close it and roll it into a round shape.
-
Sprinkle dry glutinous rice flour on the plate, and place the kneaded yuanxiao on the dry flour to prevent it from sticking to the plate.
-
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after boiling the water, put the raw yuanxiao into the hot water. When it floats, sprinkle in the wolfberry. When the wolfberry becomes soft, take it out and finally sprinkle a little dried osmanthus.
