Sweet Potato Rice Balls

Overview

Sweet potato dumplings can be served as dessert or as dinner because they are more starchy. To sum up, the ginger made from this recipe has a light taste, and the soup tastes slightly spicy. If you like the stronger ginger flavor, you can add more ginger slices; if you are afraid of spicy food, you can add more sugar to neutralize it. In terms of ingredient selection, you can use purple potatoes, yellow potatoes, or anything else for sweet potatoes, but they must be sweet, otherwise they will taste like glutinous rice flour. If you are worried that the sweet potatoes are not sweet, you can add sugar when pressing into puree, and adjust the sweetness according to your own taste. Haha, I won’t say any more, let’s start making Nuanlili glutinous rice balls!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Add water to the glutinous rice flour and use chopsticks to stir it into a snowflake shape, then knead it into a slightly hard dough.

   

2. 2 After the sweet potatoes are steamed, mash them with a fork. (Steam the slightly larger sweet potatoes in boiling water for 20 minutes and simmer for 15 minutes.)

   

3. 3 Take half and roll into potato puree balls.

   

4. 4 Add the other half of the dough and knead into a softer dough.

   

5. 5 Cut the dough into small pieces, flatten and wrap in potato puree.

   

6. 6 Pack it carefully, pack it diligently, it’s ready!

   

7. 7 Add appropriate amount of water, ginger slices and sugar to the pot and bring to a boil. (I cooked 5 large glutinous rice balls for this amount, and the rest went to cool down in the air conditioner...)

   

8. 8 Add glutinous rice balls.
