Tip of the Tongue 3 The opening chapter of the fourth episode of "Yang" mentioned that Lucia, a doctor of Western medicine from Spain, came to China to study Chinese medicine. The Chinese pay attention to the concept of the same source of medicine and food, and learned to make five juice ointment and jujube yam cake.
The jujube mud yam cake is soft and sweet in the mouth. It is not only a small dessert, but also a health-preserving product. The ingredients are red dates and yam. You don’t need oil or sugar, or use a little bit, relying solely on the sugar of red dates, which is truly healthy, nourishing and delicious.
Red dates nourish blood and nourish qi, Chinese yam nourishes the spleen and kidney, is a tonic that has been circulating for a long time.
There is also a record in "A Dream of Red Mansions" that after Qin Keqing married into Jia's house, her strong temperament and the pressure of the environment made her body weaker day by day. In order to help Qin Keqing recover, Jia's mother specially sent someone to deliver the "zaomu yam cake".
Coincidentally, yesterday my husband said that he was not energetic and was lazy to eat for dinner, so he ate a few cakes and regained his energy the next day.
Spring is here, go for a walk, bring a few snacks you make yourself, eat at ease, and replenish your energy.

Chinese Yam Jujube Cake

1. Wash the red dates, wash the yam and remove the dirt and cut it into small pieces. Then put the red dates and yams in a basket and steam them thoroughly.

2. You can take some glutinous rice flour, or sticky rice flour, corn starch, lotus root flour, and bite it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes.

3. The steamed yam is taken out, the skin is peeled off, and the yam is slapped and crushed into mud with a knife.

4. If you feel that the yam is not sticky enough and is relatively dry, you can add a small amount of milk and powder from the microwave. The amount depends on the actual situation. For 300 grams of yam puree, I used 5 grams of powder, 80 milliliters of milk and 20 grams of sugar.
Divide the prepared yam dough into small doses of about 30 grams each.

5. Peel off the skin of red dates and remove the date cores.

6. Take a small non-stick pot and fry the jujube puree without oil or sugar. You can remove a small amount of starch, about 2-3 grams. Note: If you plan to make mooncakes, use oil to fry the stuffing.

7. Divide the jujube paste into small portions of 10 grams each.

8. Take a small yam seed to make the skin, and put in a small jujube puree ball.

9. Wrap it up and clen it tightly with both hands to make the crust and filling more tightly bound (don't rub it, it will split after rubbing).

10. Stick some cooked powder on the palm of your hand, roll the wrapped ball gently in the palm of your hand.

11. Put the ball into the mold.

12. Compression molding, a jujube mud yam cake is ready, and everything is completed in turn.

Tips:
1. Clench the filling tightly with two hands to make the crust and filling more tightly combined (don't rub it, it will split after rubbing).
2. Red dates are very sweet, don't add sugar; less sugar can be added to the yam puree to taste.
3. If you want to pursue a particularly delicate effect, the cooked yam and red dates must be sieved, but you must have enough patience.
