In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival has passed, and it will be the Lantern Festival in a few days. My kid has been pestering me these days and asked me to make her favorite pink bear glutinous rice balls.

Whether it’s glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao, we usually eat round white, black or purple at most, which is not very attractive to children. So I watched a few episodes of "Baby Luo" with her to see what the pink bear in it looked like.

Unlike most cartoons featuring small animals or Barbie dolls, Baby Luo is a seven-year-old Chinese girl. The story tells an interesting story about her exploring the world, getting along with her family, friends and pink bears, because it is closer to real life, and easier to be understood and accepted by children. Especially the cute pink bear among them is even more cute. When Luo Baobao encounters difficulties, the pink bear will appear and interact with Luo Baobao with cute expression bubbles to help her find a solution.

The prepared pink bear glutinous rice balls, the filling is sweet red bean paste, the appearance is the cute blue-nosed pink bear cartoon image, not only is it good-looking, the taste is smooth and delicious, the little guy likes it very much. Let's take a look at how to do it next.

2. Add a small amount of warm water to the glutinous rice flour, and cover the noodles for 10 minutes.

4. Take a piece of red bean paste and knead it into the shape of a pink bear.

5. Wrap the bean paste filling with a piece of pink dough and pinch it tightly with the seal facing down.

6. Take a piece of pink dough with large soybean grains and a small piece of white dough, stick it together and round it and stick it on both sides of the head to act as ears. The blue oval dough serves as the nose.

7. Take another two small pieces of white dough and knead it round, flatten it, and stick it on both ends of the nose. This is the background color of the eye sockets. Then use a little brown ball to stick it on it and flatten it to make the eyes.

8. Knead the remaining brown dough into a thin strip, put the shape of the mouth under the nose, and compact it with a toothpick.

9. Knead a small piece of yellow dough into a triangle scarf, and squeeze the outlines of the two hands at both ends of the scarf.
