For office workers, if you want to say what breakfast is the most popular, it must be steamed buns! Steam it in a big pot at a time, and you can eat it for a few days! Now this season, the temperature is particularly suitable for steaming steamed buns, but for southerners, steaming buns is really not an easy task! Kneading, fermenting, waking up, etc., each of these links feels so complicated. A colleague from the South often asks me if there is a simpler breakfast than steamed buns?
Today Meimei brings you a delicious and nutritious breakfast that is easier than steamed buns. Both my parents, husband and children like to eat it. There is no need to ferment or knead the noodles. It is fragrant and soft!
Noodles that do not need to be fermented, simple and zero failure, especially trouble-free.
Now everyone knows that for good health, you should add coarse grains to your daily diet. There is a lot of rain in spring and summer, and the excessively humid air can also cause discomfort from the inside to the outside, such as colds and fever, respiratory infections, gastrointestinal discomfort, and appetite. Various discomforts such as poor performance hit. At this time, eat more barley, yam, red dates and other foods that invigorate the spleen and reduce dampness to "dehumidify" the body.

Yam is a high-nutrient, low-calorie food. It is a very good nourishing food. Eating yam regularly can invigorate the spleen and stomach, and help the human body to digest. Male friends can eat more yam to invigorate the kidney. Female friends can eat more yam to beautify the skin and nourish the yin. Regular consumption of yam can keep the skin elastic, make the skin hydrated and white, and also have the effect of delaying aging.

The choline and lecithin that are rich in yam can help children improve memory. Yam is also a good product to nourish the spleen and stomach, and help digestion. It is good for the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach, and can promote the appetite of the child. The situation can be easily resolved.
The nutritional value of yam is so high, but the taste is very ordinary, not to mention children eating it every day, even adults don't like it! Today, Meimei used yam to make a dessert for everyone. It is soft and delicious, and it is sweet and appetizing. It is great for breakfast, supper, and afternoon tea!

Let's take a look at the specific approach.

Ingredients

Red Bean Yam Cake

1.

2. Wash the yam with the skin and steam it in a steamer.

3. Wash the red beans and put them in a rice cooker. Add a little more water than the rice. After they are cooked, take them out and drain them for later use.

4. Wash the red dates, cut them in half, remove the pits, and then slightly cut them into small particles.

5. The yam is steamed, peeled, and mashed while hot.

6. Pour the tapioca starch into the yam puree.

7. The processed red dates and cooked red beans are also poured in. Stir it slightly with chopsticks.

8. Then knead the yam dough directly by hand.

9. Divide the yam dough into small pieces of about 40 grams each, hold them tightly with your hands, and arrange them into an oval shape.

10. Put the zong leaves in the steamer, and put the yam ball on the zong leaves. When steaming food, use the rice dumpling leaves under the bottom, which can prevent sticking, and after steaming, there will be a clear scent of the rice dumpling leaves, which is great! You can buy more during the Dragon Boat Festival. You don’t need to pad oil paper when making steamed buns. Greener and healthier.

11. Put the lid on, boil and steam for 15 minutes.

12. The crystal clear yam and red bean cakes are ready to be made! It's soft and sticky. After a bite, the glutinous powder of red beans and yam is perfectly matched with the smoothness of tapioca flour. Before chewing, it slid directly into the stomach. It was really delicious!

Tips:
The taste of cassava flour is soft and glutinous. It is more refreshing than food made from glutinous rice flour. Many friends ask whether it can be replaced with other flours. Meimei does not recommend it, although you use glutinous rice flour or sweet potato. It can be made with flour or flour, but the taste is definitely not the same. Of course, if you use other flours, you can also get a different kind of food. Our Chinese food is indeed much easier to handle than Western baking.

The red beans must be boiled and added to it. If they are steamed directly, the taste will be firmer.
