Jiujiu Chongyang Festival, also known as the Ascending Festival, every year there is a custom of ascending on the day of Chongyang Festival, and the ninth day of the first lunar month is also designated as the Elderly Festival every year, so the Chongyang Festival will also implement the activity of respecting the elderly and loving the elderly on this day.
This year's Chongyang Festival coincides with the National Day holiday, bring the elders to ascend together, and then make a delicious meal for the elderly, and then make a Chongyang cake, the festival with a sense of ceremony is happier drops!
Chongyang Festival has the custom of eating Chongyang cake, "cake" has the meaning of "high", eating Chongyang cake has the meaning of auspiciousness, step by step and so on.
The traditional Chongyang cake method is also diverse, but most of them are high oil and high sugar, leaf food has always liked to improve according to their own nutrition, after all, modern people's living standards have improved, in the past, the lack of food and wear in the era of high oil and high sugar is just a supplement to the body, now the times are different, for high oil and high sugar food to reduce the amount of oil and sugar as much as possible.
I've reduced the oil and sugar today and added red bean filling to make a sandwich to make it more nutritious and look more beautiful.
Red beans are a good ingredient for all ages, high potassium content, high dietary fiber content, is conducive to tonic, is conducive to regulating blood pressure, is conducive to laxative, but also conducive to blood vitality, I will share a red bean cold and live blood small sweet soup later, where will also do some more detailed introduction to the nutrition of red beans.
Today I focus on the differences of my red bean paste, I added brown sugar in the red bean paste, a faint sweetness, brown sugar is conducive to blood; I also added a few large spoons of black grain soup powder (a kind of sesame paste powder) in the red bean paste, and also added poria, poria is conducive to strengthening the spleen, with black grain soup powder, the aroma is particularly strong, covering up the taste of poria, so that it is more delicious and more healthy.
Well, let's take a look at the specifics...
【Ingredients】
300 grams of glutinous rice, 200 grams of rice, 200 grams of red beans, 30 grams of black grain soup powder, 25 grams of poria, 50 grams of powdered sugar, 25 grams of coconut oil, 215 grams of water, 20 grams of brown sugar, appropriate amount of red dates, appropriate amount of raisins, appropriate amount of osmanthus flowers
【Preparation steps】
1. Prepare raw materials.
2: Put glutinous rice and rice into a wall breaker and beat into powder.
On the question of whether the rice is washed or not: this is completely up to the relatives themselves, if you buy ordinary rice and glutinous rice or it is recommended to wash it, dry it and then beat it.
3. Soak red beans for about 8 hours in advance.
4: Put the red beans and poria in a pot and cook.
5: Pour the cooked red beans and poria into the wall-breaking bucket and beat them into puree.
(This step must pay attention to dry dilution, because it is too viscous, the wall breaker is easy to idle, once it is found that the idling must be stopped immediately, it is recommended to cooperate with the stirring stick operation, otherwise it will be diluted, and then cooked again, boiled to remove excess water, I played more dry, because I am too lazy to cook later, so it is very testing the performance of the wall breaker, it is not recommended that you fight too dry Oh. ）
6: Add black grain soup powder and fine brown sugar to the red bean paste, mix well to make red bean paste filling.
7: Add powdered sugar, coconut oil and water to rice flour and glutinous rice flour, rub well with both hands and roll into sand.
8, before making this kind of pastry are sifted with noodles, each time is particularly strenuous, today my husband came to help, he used the meat grinder to rub this even powder for a few seconds, found that it is very even and loose, sometimes really admire the men's thinking, haha...
9, I use the live bottom of the cake mold to steam, the bottom of a piece of oil paper to facilitate demolding, and then add half of the rice noodles.
10: Steam in a steamer for 20 minutes, basically steamed.
11: Take it out and put the red bean paste filling on it and scrape it flat.
12: Then spread the remaining half of the rice flour and sprinkle the surface with washed raisins, red dates and osmanthus flowers.
13: Steam again in the steamer for about half an hour or so until it is cooked thoroughly.
14. Done.
【Tips】
First, add a little oil to the rice flour in order to eat not too dry, the taste is more moist, the traditional Chongyang cake is generally added lard, I use coconut oil, no coconut oil can be changed to other oils according to the situation at home;
Second, the steaming in two times is for the sake of the following good cooking, if directly steamed, it is not easy to cook;
Third, in order to be well sieved or stirred with a meat grinder is a loose state, the water in the rice noodles must be added appropriately, it is recommended to add a little, and finally the loose rice noodles must not be pressed after being spread into the container, to keep fluffy, if you think the rice noodles are relatively dry, you can use the spray bottles used at home to bake after laying, and then steam after spraying a little moisture on the surface.
