Steps:
Now, on to the most exciting part – the production steps! This process is actually very simple, follow me step by step, and you can make amazing purple sweet potato glutinous rice balls.
1. Wash and steam the purple sweet potato
Wash the purple potatoes first and steam them in a steamer, which takes about 20 minutes. The steamed purple potatoes should be cooled slightly for subsequent processing.
2. Make purple sweet potato puree
After the purple potato is cooled, peel off the skin, stir the steamed purple potato into a puree, add an appropriate amount of caster sugar, and stir as much as possible to make the natural sweetness of the purple potato blend with the sweetness of the sugar.
3. Add the mashed bananas
Next, the bananas are crushed into a puree, mixed well with the purple sweet potato puree, and the glutinous rice flour is gradually added until a smooth, non-sticky dough is formed. Don't forget, be patient during this process and make sure you get the sweetness of the glutinous rice balls in every bite.
4. Molding
Divide the purple potato banana dough into small portions and roll it into a round ball with a diameter of about 3 cm, trying to keep the size even, so that it is heated more evenly when frying or baking.
5. Coat with egg wash and breadcrumbs
Prepare the egg mixture, evenly coat each purple potato banana ball with a layer of egg liquid, and then wrap it with breadcrumbs to make sure that the surface of each ball is thick, so that it will be more crispy when fried.
6. Fry or grill
Finally, you can choose between two cooking methods:
- Deep frying: Heat the oil to 150-160°C, put the purple potato glutinous rice balls in the oil and fry for about 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Bake: If you choose the healthier way, preheat the oven to 200°C, then add the purple sweet potato glutinous rice balls and bake for 20 minutes, turning once until the outer layer is golden brown.
Precautions
There are a few small details that should not be overlooked during the production process:
- Choose fresh, moderately sized purple potatoes and moderately ripe bananas to enhance the overall flavor.
- Make sure the egg wash is evenly coated so that the breadcrumbs adhere better and form a perfect crust. (Steaming or frying in a pot)
- Control the temperature of the oil to avoid greasy or undercooked conditions, and remember to use the thermometer to make delicious items.
