The Lantern Festival is here, so you don’t need to buy glutinous rice balls. We will teach you colorful little glutinous rice balls, which are soft and waxy, beautiful and delicious, low in calories and healthier, especially for ladies and children who love beauty.
Every year on the Lantern Festival, my family will make their own glutinous rice balls. Cantonese glutinous rice balls are wrapped. The fillings are sweet and salty, and they can also be meat or vegetarian. The northerners call it Yuanxiao, which is different from the southern glutinous rice balls. The Yuanxiao is rolled out, and the filling is generally sweet. Red beans, mung beans, peanuts, sesame seeds, chocolate, etc. I prefer to eat southern glutinous rice balls, which have many styles and rich taste.
The colorful glutinous rice balls are different from the traditional black sesame glutinous rice balls and peanut glutinous rice balls. The colorful glutinous rice balls have no fillings. Kitchen Xiaobai no longer has to worry about leaking fillings, but the taste is good, soft and waxy, rich in colors, and very beautiful. Children especially like to eat them. The ingredients for the glutinous rice balls are also simple, that is, traditional glutinous rice noodles with various fruits and vegetables. Such as purple sweet potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, spinach and so on. For glutinous rice flour, choose water-milled glutinous rice flour, which is smoother than dry glutinous rice flour. The ratio of glutinous rice flour, water and fillings is very particular. For the original white glutinous rice ball, 500 grams of glutinous rice flour requires 400 grams of water. Purple potato and sweet potato fillings are different. 500 grams of glutinous rice flour requires only 200 grams of water and 250 grams of fillings. The specific approach is as follows:

Ingredients

Colorful Glutinous Rice Balls

1. Wash the sweet potatoes and purple potatoes separately, steam them in a pot, peel them, take 50 grams of each into a different bowl, add white sugar, and mash them. When hot glutinous rice balls are mashed with white sugar, the white sugar can quickly dissolve.

2. In three large bowls, pour 150 grams, 100 grams, and 100 grams of glutinous rice flour, and then add purple potato mash, sweet potato mash, and boiled sugar water. Stir separately and knead the smooth dough, put it in a large bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

3. Knead the long strips separately, take 15 grams into a small ball, knead into small balls, and finish all the balls of the three colors. Small glutinous rice balls, not too big, easy to cook, good-looking and delicious. It is big, takes a long time to cook, and the color is easy to fade, especially after the purple sweet potato is oxidized, the color will turn black.

4. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the saucepan. After boiling, add the dumplings for about 1 minute. Stir evenly with a spoon to prevent sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.

5. The cooked glutinous rice balls will float on the surface, round and round, with more beautiful colors, which is a feast for taste buds and vision. You can also add a little white sugar when cooking the glutinous rice balls, so that even the soup will be delicious, with a slight sweet taste.
