Not long ago, I saw a friend’s posting about a crystal dumpling in a circle of friends eating a crystal dumpling from a certain dock. It looked very beautiful, and then I was ready to do it. The question is how to do it? I didn’t find the method on the Internet, and then I went to the supermarket to see the ingredient list of the packaging bag. It was written that lotus root flour was added to the skin, but the added amount seemed to be very small. There was also a waxy corn starch, which can be bought. I don’t know where to buy glutinous corn starch. At first, I tried to make the skin with glutinous rice flour and lotus root flour, but it was still opaque. Then I used tapioca flour and lotus root flour. It was transparent but it felt darker in color. Finally, I decided The color is more pure and white with the orange powder, and the lotus root powder will be slightly transparent. Then wrap the big filling with a thin skin, and the crystal glutinous rice balls are made. Unfortunately, the recent supermarkets buy this kind of light purple flower heart. Potatoes do not have that deep purple, so the color of the finished product is still a little bit worse, and I will improve it later."

2. Wash the purple sweet potato and steam it in a pot, about 20-30 minutes. If there is a pressure cooker, you can steam it in a pressure cooker to save time

3. After the purple sweet potato is steamed, sit on the hot water and melt the butter.

4. Peel the purple sweet potato, cut into small pieces and butter sugar together into the broken wall cooking machine and beat until delicate

5. Pour out the purple sweet potato filling and refrigerate or freeze it in the refrigerator, but don’t freeze the ice anymore, just freeze it until it becomes a little harder.

6. The ingredients for the glutinous rice balls are shown in the picture. The orange flour is 100 grams of wheat starch, 50 grams of lotus root flour, and an appropriate amount of boiling water is needed, which is just boiling water.

7. Stir lotus root flour and orange flour evenly, boil a pot of boiling water, then stir in the flour with chopsticks, pour in boiling water at the same time, stir until the flour is flocculent and there is no dry powder, stop adding water, cover and simmer for 5 minutes

16. The next morning, I cooked it for the old man, but he cooked too little. The old man liked to eat not enough, and then remembered the amethyst shrimp dumplings I made before, but I finished it early.

Tips:
1: The purple potato filling must be refrigerated, which is convenient for shaping and subsequent wrapping after refrigeration
2: The dough must be boiled water, and the dough should be a little softer, not too hard, if it is too hard, it will not be easy to pack when filling, and it will not be soft enough to eat.
3: The dough stuffing should be collected a little when closing the mouth, there should be no cracks, otherwise the stuffing will be exposed when it is cooked
4: The skin must be thin to show the color of the filling, and it can be called a crystal dumpling
