When I was young, A small snack shop was opened at the mouth of the alley not far from home.
The dim sum sold in the shop is very mixed, taking into account the tastes of the east, west, south and north. But the daily supply must be moray cake, oil cake and donkey roll.
Every time I pass by after school and smell the sweetness that hits my heart, I can't help but secretly buy a few~
Especially the donkey rolling. Probably, the sweet stomach can never resist the double attack of sweet + soft glutinous.
A few years ago, I went to Beijing with my friends, visited many attractions, and also collected a lot of authentic Beijing snacks. Just when the donkey rolled, he ran to several homes to eat. This full of love, but also so much.
Unfortunately, what is sold outside now is either too sweet or not soft enough. When you want to eat, you can only make it yourself
Donkey Rolling, also known as bean noodle cake, is one of the traditional snacks of old Beijing and Tianjin Wei.
The reason why it is named "donkey rolling" is also a very vivid and witty metaphor. It is said that in the production process, sprinkling soybean noodles is like a wild donkey on the outskirts of old Beijing, rolling and rolling, raising a gust of loess
Authentic donkey rolling is usually made of yellow rice noodles.
But now most people have switched to rice noodles, which is known as glutinous rice flour
The whole production process will not be difficult, there are mainly 3 major steps: blank making, wa filling and shaping.
To make a blank, it is to add warm water to mix the glutinous rice flour into a pulp, and then steam it on the pot. The slurry should not be too thick or too thin, and it is almost the same as using chopsticks to pull up a smooth flow state.
When mixing, I also added some cornstarch. In this way, the soft and sticky taste of the donkey rolls for a longer time.
And stuffing this step, I use ready-made red bean paste. You can also take the time to make your own, soak the red beans and cook them to the ground. This work is simple and simple, but it is more time-consuming and needs to be done in advance
Finally, the integer also requires a little more patience. Spread the soybean noodles first, then put the steamed glutinous rice balls and roll them thinly, then spread a layer of red bean paste and slowly roll them up. Try to roll it tightly, not only looks good, but also tastes more elastic
Glutinous rice flour 200g corn starch 40g sugar 25g warm water 230g red bean paste 200g cooked soybean flour 30g a little oil
Let's take a look at the detailed production steps
1. Pour glutinous rice flour, corn starch and sugar into a bowl and stir well, then add warm water while stirring until there are no particles and pull up to a smooth flowing state
*The amount of warm water should be adjusted according to the water absorption of glutinous rice flour and corn starch.
2. Apply a layer of oil to a deep dish, then pour the stirred glutinous rice flour into the dish, cover with plastic wrap and steam in hot water for 30 minutes
*The steaming time should be increased or decreased according to the thickness of the slurry, and steamed until it is cooked thoroughly.
3. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of soybean flour on the tabletop, remove the slightly cooled glutinous rice balls and roll out thinly, and then spread a layer of red bean paste evenly on the glutinous rice flour skin
4. Slowly roll up the powder and cut into 3cm thick pieces
5. Place on a plate and sprinkle with an appropriate amount of soybean flour
Donkey roll is ready!
The wrapped donkey rolls, the fat mound one, thick and cute ~
Hold it in your hand, soft and elastic. The surface of the soybean flour will also flutter into the palm of the hand, tempting people to quickly eat a bite.
Eat it in your mouth, a mouthful of sticky, non-sticky teeth. The red bean paste is sweet and blends well with the glutinous rice balls and does not appear sweet.
There is also the crispy aroma of soybean flour, with a rustling density, which enriches the taste. Three times five divided by two, one is down the stomach, satisfied ~
I have asked some friends around me who prefer to eat sweets, why do you like it? The answer is that in addition to being delicious, it can also bring a sense of inner pleasure.
Sticky and sweet food, there is always a soothing little tenderness~
Life will inevitably encounter troubles, so always give yourself more sweetness.
