Hello everyone, I am Yang Ma's small chef, a requirement for food is delicious, easy to do, good-looking food lovers, enjoy the fun of making food. Ordinary ingredients and simple methods are used to reflect the warm taste of home. If you love food as much as I do, let's talk about it.
China's traditional festival Dragon Boat Festival is coming, shopping malls, supermarkets and online appear a variety of rice dumplings, red jujube dumplings, honey jujube dumplings, fresh meat dumplings, egg yolk dumplings, bulk, bagged, gift boxed, all kinds, many tastes, but how to choose what you like to eat, food safety and reliability, or some trepidation, then do it yourself, like what kind of package, desirable, delicious and healthy, delicious and save money.
Many friends said that they will not wrap zongzi, the rice dumplings of the package are not tightly tied, the cooking process leaks rice, which is the two most likely problems to appear in the dumplings, my family has a trick, there are magic weapons, these things are all solved, with Yang Mama to pack together.
My son likes meat dumplings, and my parents like red beans and jujube dumplings, so they chose these two fillings.
Buy the dried rice dumpling leaves, washed after cooking in the pot, personally think that the rice dumplings of the dried rice dumplings are better, because when cooking the rice dumplings, the leaves have a process of returning to green, at this time the taste of the rice dumplings is more intense, very fragrant. The leaves bought this time are very narrow, which increases the difficulty of the bag. If you are new to it, it is still recommended to choose that kind of wide leaves in the supermarket, one piece can be wrapped, you can wrap a little smaller, but there is no problem of stringing rice between the rice dumpling leaves, it is easier to wrap.
Two kinds of fillings are prepared, fresh meat and red beans and dates, which are liked by young and old. Glutinous rice does not foam in advance, when I was a child in the south for a long time, I liked the rice dumplings of the tendon road. The main ingredient of fresh meat rice dumplings is fresh meat, fat and lean ratio according to your own like, there are elderly people at home, so I chose a lean one, so that the fat content can be low and healthier.
Fresh meat dumplings First wash the glutinous rice and meat, an appropriate amount of soy sauce, sugar, salt, cooking wine, green onions, ginger shredded mixed, call out a sauce suitable for their own taste, the meat is first marinated into the flavor, and then mixed with glutinous rice, so that glutinous rice also has a rich taste. After cooking, the oil will penetrate the rice dumpling leaves, the whole rice dumplings are permeated with the luster of the oil, the rice dumpling leaves are opened, the natural fragrance of the rice dumpling leaves comes to the nose, and the meat inside the filling, rice, green onions, is even more addictive, and the bite of the fragrance fills the mouth, making people taste endless.
Red beans jujube dumplings Red beans are washed and soaked in advance, to soak for more than four hours, I am washing and soaking at night, so that it is convenient. Red dates wash and set aside, the soaked and swollen red beans are added to the glutinous rice and mixed evenly, you can wrap them together, the process of wrapping is also like fresh meat dumplings, with glutinous rice red beans on the bottom, add two ingredients of red dates, and then add glutinous rice red beans pressed on top, and the fragrant and sweet red bean jujube dumplings are also completed. After cooking, the red bean jujube dumplings are particularly soft and sticky, the early soaking of the red beans makes its taste soft and rotten, completely fused with the glutinous rice, biting into the middle, the sweetness of the red dates is particularly obvious, and it is not sweet, it is a fragrant and sweet taste, completely immersed in this natural taste.
The method of wrapping rice dumplings Take four rice dumpling leaves up and down, the middle sticks to the water is not easy to open, and then fold in half, add glutinous rice to the bottom, put in fresh meat, add glutinous rice, compact a little by hand, red bean jujube dumplings are also wrapped, but the process changes the meat into red dates. Fold the rice dumpling leaves inward with the thumbs of both hands, wrap them in the direction, wrap them well, and tie them with rope after wrapping, and a rice dumpling is completed.
Zongzi tight and do not leak rice trick to come The way zongzi is placed determines its degree of activity, and each zongzi is placed in the air at the sharp corners, and it must be squeezed tightly and neatly before releasing water, so that the activity space of zongzi itself is limited, even if you are not too tight, it does not matter, it has no room to show its fists and feet, and it can only be honest. If this is not enough, another magic weapon will be appropriate.
The magic weapon of rice dumplings that is tight and does not leak rice comes to be such a flat piece of marble. Stacked neatly and tightly placed rice dumplings will occasionally desert, do a big thing that destroys the image, then it is necessary to press down strongly, you say that there is no such treasure as marble at home, that Yang Mother also taught you a trick, the deep disk always has, with a deep disk pressed on it, the deep plate is filled with water, it is the same, as long as the strength is large enough. This little magic weapon is available to everyone at home, so use it.
After cooking the rice dumplings, because of the swelling of the glutinous rice, the density of the placement, will make the edges and corners more obvious, the whole rice dumplings will be more beautiful than when the package, at this time is not your self-confidence also came up, what are you waiting for, you must be more beautiful than this.
The home-cooked rice dumplings that Yang Mama shared today share every day a dish that you can also make well.
