The 3.5th is the annual Lantern Festival. Every family in Nanjing has the custom of eating dumplings and admiring lanterns. In the past few days, the sales of Lantern Festival have reached its peak in major supermarkets and handicraft workshops. Remember that when we were young, my mother usually used soaked glutinous rice years ago and mentioned that the processing shop processed it into glutinous rice flour on site, then put it on a bamboo sieve and spread it out, covered with a silk scarf or gauze, and clamped it with a clip to prevent dust from entering. , Move in and out every day to dry; just wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, wrap many glutinous rice balls with sun-dried glutinous rice flour, and then the whole family sits together to eat glutinous rice balls and enjoy the full moon~~~
But with the changes of the times, children have grown up to work, but time is less and less, and people have become more and more lazy. They no longer make glutinous rice flour dumplings by themselves, but go directly to the supermarket or work. Fang, I'm back with ready-made ones~`~
Before the Lantern Festival, in order to learn how to make "Pumpkin Purple Potato Cake", I asked my colleagues for some purple sweet potatoes. Some were left. I was afraid that it would be broken, so I steamed them and pressed them into purple sweet potato mash. There is a small bowl left, so I just used it as a Yuanxiao filling, the taste is really good~~`

Ingredients

Purple Sweet Potato Dumpling

1. Purple sweet potato peeled, steamed and pressed into puree

2. After cooling, knead into a few small balls for later use

3. Add appropriate amount of water to the glutinous rice flour

4. Stir evenly with chopsticks

5. Then knead it directly with your hands to form a ball, and then knead it into a circle

6. Let the dough stand for a while, and the preparations are ready

7. Start making glutinous rice balls: first grab two small doughs of the same size and hold the balls with your hands

8. Then place it in the palm of your left hand, gently press the two balls with your right hand, and roll the dough together to form two small glutinous rice balls.

9. Then squeeze the freshly kneaded glutinous rice balls separately, and put a small purple sweet potato ball

10. Wrap the glutinous rice white dough around the purple sweet potato

11. Then use the method shown in Figure 8 to roll two purple sweet potato doughs into glutinous rice balls

12. Knead all the purple sweet potato dumplings one by one

13. Boil water in a pot

14. Then gently throw the purple sweet potato glutinous rice balls into the pot one by one, and then use a wooden spatula to gently rotate it two times along the edge of the pot (to reduce stickiness), and then cover the high heat.

15. After the water in the pot is boiled, add a small amount of water twice in the middle, cover and turn to medium heat

16. When the soup in the pot is boiled again, boil for another 1~2 minutes. When the glutinous rice balls are all raised, it indicates that the glutinous rice balls are fully cooked.

17. Put them into bowls and eat them while they are hot

Tips:
1. Put the glutinous rice balls: put boiling water into the pot, put them one by one, don't throw them all into the pot at once to avoid stickiness
2. After the water is boiled: Just like boiled dumplings, you need to add water for 1 to 2 times and wait for the dumplings to float before they can be eaten.
3. You can change other fillings as you like
4. The glutinous rice balls are sticky food: do not eat too much at one time, so as not to eat too much and it is difficult to digest
