Introduction: In winter, I often cook a bowl like this, tender Q bomb sweet glutinous, the child is warm after eating. It's cold, eat less fruit and eat more of this bowl, Q bounce smooth tender warm and nutritious, a bite of a real relief
As the saying goes: one side of the water and soil and one side of the people, ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs. There are differences in the eating habits of each region, no matter what, the food preferences of each place are closely related to the local products, for example, we love to use sweet potatoes to make sweet potato flour in winter, that is because there are many people who grow sweet potatoes, and Yue Yue's colleagues are in the Jiangnan area, they have more lakes and lotus roots, so every household loves to eat lotus powder, lotus powder is a kind of Traditional Han snack in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the ingredients are red lotus root powder, pure lotus powder, rock sugar lotus powder, etc.
Every year in late autumn and early winter is a good time to make lotus flour, its production method is also very exquisite, first to select the right old lotus root, the finer the lotus pulp grinding, the better, because the finer the grinding, the higher the powder rate, and then after washing, bleaching, draining, and then using a knife to cut the powder into thin slices; continue to dry or sun-dried to become lotus powder. Generally, the lotus flour made at home is usually with a block, different from the outside sold so delicate, but does not affect the consumption at all, the lotus flour made every year is not only enough for the family to eat, but also used to send relatives and friends, every year when it is cold, colleagues rarely eat fruit, but like to use lotus flour as breakfast, or small snacks between meals, do you like to eat lotus powder?
Lotus powder and lotus root nutrition is similar, it contains a lot of starch, glucose, protein, in addition to tannic acid, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, as well as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, iron and other minerals and vitamin K, vitamin B12 and other vitamin components. There is also a large amount of starch contained in lotus flour that can provide the body with the energy it needs, and it is easy to produce a feeling of fullness after eating. The brewed lotus powder is warm and nutritious, it is transparent and slightly red, the texture is delicate, easy to digest, and it can be moist and clear. Yue Yue has many friends around who like to eat lotus powder all year round, because after eating lotus powder, it helps to reduce the content of cholesterol and fat in the body, so as to achieve the role of managing the body. Cooking a bowl of warm and nutritious lotus flour balls in winter is delicious and smooth to taste.
It's cold, eat less fruit and eat more of it, in winter, I often cook a bowl like this, with lotus flour as the skin, wrapped in golden pumpkin glutinous rice balls, shake a shake, roll a roll, immediately become round and lovely, cook out after the taste is tender and smooth Q bomb, eat sweet glutinous, more delicious than tangyuan, a bite of a real relief, the child is warm after eating.
Recipe name:【Lotus flour dumplings】
Preparation ingredients: 200 g of lotus flour, 100 g of pumpkin, appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour
Auxiliary materials: 50 grams of yellow flake sugar, dried osmanthus flowers to taste
Production method: (The details that need to be paid attention to in the production process have been summarized at the end, don't miss it)
【Step 1】:We first peel and cut the pumpkin into pieces and steam it in a pot, after the pumpkin is steamed, use a spoon to pound it into pumpkin puree, and then pour the glutinous rice flour into the bowl while it is hot, use the high temperature of the pumpkin puree to blanch the glutinous rice flour, and the dough will not spread out.
Rub it into a uniform size under the long strip, pay attention to this small agent not to cut too large Oh, just like our thumb size can be, of course, the filling here can also be replaced by bean paste or sesame seeds.
[Step 2]: Then rub each agent slightly round, prepare a larger container to pour in the lotus flour, I use a baking sheet here, and then put the round pumpkin glutinous rice balls in,
Shake, roll, so that the surface of the balls are covered with lotus flour, boil water in the pot, boil the water and then pour the balls into the pot and cook until the surface is translucent.
【Step 3】:Immediately fish it out and pour it into the plate containing lotus flour again, continue to shake it evenly, cook it again until translucent, repeat this action many times,
Until this ball becomes large enough, the more times it is repeated, the larger the ball will be made, and this step can be flexible Ha.
【Step 4】:Finally put it in the pot and slowly cook it on medium-low heat, cook the lotus flour balls until completely transparent,
Note that when cooking, it is also necessary to stir it to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot, and finally add a piece of sugar, sprinkle in the dried osmanthus flowers (if there is none, it can be ignored), and you can serve it to the table and eat it.
Yue Yue production carefully: (Precautions)
Usually we buy most of the lotus flour is bagged or boxed, after taking it out, pay attention to seal and save, lotus powder preservation time is long, the color will change from reddish to reddish brown, this is not spoiled, does not hinder eating. That's because pure lotus powder contains a lot of iron and reducing sugar and other components, in contact with the air, it is easy to oxidize and change color, so that the color of lotus powder changes from white to reddish. But other kinds of starch do not have this change, they are pure white or slightly yellow.
If you directly brew lotus powder, in order to make the lotus powder thick, it is best to add a small amount of warm water to dissolve the lotus powder, and then stir evenly add boiling boiling water (remember, must be piping hot) while adding and stirring, the color of the lotus powder will change rapidly with the addition of boiling water, and finally become light brown transparent gelatinous, it is worth noting: the order of the water poured into the cup of these two temperatures must not be reversed, first cold boiling water, and then poured into the boiling boiling water.
Conclusion: It's cold, eat less fruit and eat more lotus flour balls, in winter, I often cook a bowl like this, tender Q bomb sweet glutinous, a bite of a real relief, the child is warm after eating.
