Purple Potato Cheese Balls (steamed or Fried)
1.
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin slices, as thin as you can, so that you can mash them later. It is not recommended to steam it first and then peel it, so that the residual skin will affect the subsequent formation of the dough, and the sweet potato skin is difficult to digest and bad for the stomach.
2.
The sweet potatoes are steamed and hot and then mashed into puree. It is not easy to puree when cooled. I mashed it with a rolling pin, then added glutinous rice flour 1 and white sugar, and stirred together, then added peanut oil and stirred.
3.
Use warm water to melt the glutinous rice flour 2 into the dough, continue to knead the dough into a smooth surface, and divide into 20g each.
4.
Squeeze the small dumplings and wrap them into 5g mozzarella shreds. Don't knead the dough too much, just enough to wrap the mozzarella. Close the mouth with a tiger's mouth and pinch it tightly. This step should be faster, otherwise the dough will be easy to dry and crack.
5.
Pour the minced coconut onto the plate. Dip the sweet potato ball with a little water. Do not dip too much to avoid cracking. Roll a few times on the minced coconut until the ball is covered.
6.
Then put it in a steamer and steam it on medium heat for 5 minutes. Watch the steaming process. After steaming for about 3 minutes, observe that if the sweet potato ball collapses badly, turn off the heat immediately, otherwise it will become soft. After the steaming, take it out and put it on the plate. If the coconut paste drops too much during the steaming process, you can re-dip it again after it is out of the oven. Just be careful not to damage the shape. My picture is a steamed version.
7.
If you make sweet potato balls that are too soft and too collapsed, they are not suitable for steaming, but don’t throw them away in a hurry. You can change the steaming process to frying or frying, which will taste very delicious. These 4 are the ones I fried .
Tips:
1. Mozzarella shreds will be silky when you eat it, like pizza. If it is hard to find, the filling can be switched to red bean paste or the like.
2. The sweet potato balls can also be rolled with sesame seeds, but I prefer to eat coconut paste.
3. Be sure to master the heat, master the heat, and tell the important things three times.
