1. Preparation materials glutinous rice flour personal use water milled glutinous rice flour natural pigments can use red yeast rice powder, matcha powder, rose powder; cooked carrot puree, cooked pumpkin puree, cooked purple potato puree; amaranth juice, purple cabbage juice, etc.

2. First of all, confirm whether the mold can be put into the steamer. The six small fish molds are relatively large, so you can put a steaming rack in the large-caliber pot, and put the mold on it steadily. Then use edible oil to carefully brush the inside of the mold with oil to make it easier to remove the film

3. Because the bottom of the big fish mold cannot be placed flat, it is necessary to find a suitable container to hold it flat. Then use edible oil to coat the inside of the mold carefully to make it easier to remove the film.

4. Put 220 grams of milk and 200 grams of soft white sugar in the milk pot and heat it over medium heat. Stir constantly to melt all the sugar. Bring it to a boil and let it cool for 3-5 minutes.

5. Mix 180 grams of glutinous rice flour and 80 grams of orange flour through a sieve, and slowly pour the warm (about 70 degrees) milk into the flour

6. Stir until a white paste without powdery lumps

7. Scoop out a few spoonfuls and mix thoroughly with the red yeast rice powder (the same method is mixed with carrot puree. Carrots are boiled or steamed and then mashed into a delicate puree. The finer the better, you can use a mixer to puree, but be careful not to add excess water to avoid Too thin)

8. Because the weather is cold, the batter of mixed colors will soon solidify slightly if the amount of mixed color is small, not flowing like a liquid. Using this feature, you can use a small spoon to apply color to the corresponding parts of the mold according to your needs. For example, fish head, fish tail, fish fins.

9. However, due to the oiling of the mold, the color may slip slightly, which requires some patience. If you want to make it simple, you can just put a round ball of color on the back of the fish, which is also very cute.

10. Finally, stir the white batter evenly and finely again, and slowly scoop it into the mold with a spoon to fill the entire fish mold. Put it in a steamer boiled with hot water and steam for 40 minutes. Make sure that the water does not boil off halfway. After being out of the oven, it will be completely cooled and stripped (you can put it in the refrigerator overnight)

Tips:

After the film is completely cooled down, carefully pull it up from the tail. Small fish are easier to take off than big fish.

Since the silver golden sugar beads will melt when heated, they should be embedded in the fisheye position after they are out of the oven. If there are no sugar beads, you can find black rice or sesame seeds. For big fish, put 2 black beans and steam them together before putting them in the steamer.

Reduce the amount of red yeast rice powder to make pink carp, and use pumpkin puree to make golden carp. See below for details:
