Lotus Pond Moonlight
1.
Filter the juice from the red dragon fruit.
2.
Mix the orange flour and glutinous rice flour, add 30 grams of water to the sugar and boil, pour it into the flour, and stir as you go. (The amount of sugar is added according to personal taste)
3.
First divide a small part (make white dough), then pour red fire dragon juice (make red dough) into the basin
4.
Separately and form dough.
5.
Take half of each.
6.
Press flat into boiling water and cook until translucent and remove. (This way the dough will be softer and tougher)
7.
Combine the dough with the raw noodles, and make the red dough in the same way.
8.
Lotus production: put a small amount of white dough on the red dough. (Form a gradation of color)
9.
Roll out into thin slices about 5 mm thick.
10.
Use a mold to carve out the petals. (There is only this kind of mold at home, it would be best if there is a lotus-like petal mold)
11.
Use scissors to cut a little between the petals and pinch the edges of the petals thin.
12.
Use the original head-like tool to gently draw down from the top, and the petals will naturally tilt up.
13.
Make another flower piece one size smaller.
14.
In the same way, each petal is drawn down toward the center.
15.
Combine them together, rub a small ball with mung bean paste and place it in the middle to make a lotus.
16.
Make the stamens of the green bean paste through the sieve, surround the lotus, use a toothpick to help put it in, make a few small holes in the middle of the lotus, and the lotus is ready.
17.
The budding lotus flower is made: roll the red dough into thin slices and cut out the flower pieces. Cut a little between the petals and roll them up from one end to the inside.
18.
Add a little matcha powder to the white dough, knead out the green dough, carve out the basic shape, knead a small piece with your hands, and dip it on the lotus.
19.
The budding lotus is ready.
20.
Koi production: Put a few small noodles of other colors on the red dough, rub the balls, and fully blend into the red noodles.
21.
Roll into an oval shape.
22.
Pinch out the dorsal fin.
23.
Use a small ball tool or bamboo stick to pierce the mouth of the fish.
24.
Make eyes with black sesame seeds.
25.
Use a semi-circular tool to carve out the scales of the fish.
26.
Take a small piece of dough and press it out with a textured tool, or pinch the piece with your hand, gently press out the pattern with a toothpick, and stick it with the fish body.
27.
Use scissors on both sides of the fish to cut out a little thinly and make pectoral fins. The koi is ready.
28.
Put it on a greased dish and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. (Everything I make is very small, and the time depends on the size of the preparation. Don't steam it for too long, it will be cooked after being transparent)
29.
Finished picture.
30.
Cut a period of time slowly flowing, flowing into the moonlight slightly rippling~~
31.
Play a little lotus faint fragrance, the beautiful piano sound falls beside me~~
32.
Fireflies light up the stars of the night, who will give me a dream garment~~
33.
Open that heart window and look far away, who picked that sadness from yesterday~~~
34.
I'm like a fish in your lotus pond, just waiting for the bright white moonlight with you~~~
35.
After swimming in the four seasons, the lotus still fragrant~~~
36.
Waiting for you to be in the middle of the water~~~
37.
Finished picture~~~
Tips:
Orange flour is wheat starch, which is sold in supermarkets. The desserts made are transparent and the finished product has a crystal clear feeling. The water in the flour should be added as appropriate. It is too soft and difficult to shape. Depending on the situation, the amount of flour can be reduced by half. If there is no mung bean paste for the stamens, use white dough to rub the slender strips and superimpose several small sections to make the stamens.
