Wormwood

Wormwood

1. After picking the head and leaves of the wormwood. Bring the water in the pot to a boil first, then put the mugwort to cook. After cooking for 10 minutes, tear the mugwort with your hands to see if it is boiled!

2. Put the boiled wormwood on a plate. The water for boiling the wormwood is unnecessary! In addition, I forgot to take a step, which is to take a plate to adjust the sugar and add boiling water to melt them. (I rarely use brown sugar because the wormwood fruit made from brown sugar is black)

3. Put glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour (half of each) on the wormwood on the plate, and stir together with the melted sugar water. Be gentle for a while, and be gentle again and again. The sugar water should be added slowly, not too much all at once, because it is difficult to measure that the moist powder made from the moist powder will be very sticky.

4. After ten minutes of repeated vigorous softening, it will be kneaded into the size and shape you want. I personally like to eat sesame and dried sugar to make the filling of Ai Ba. First, the sesame must be fryed for 3 minutes, and then mixed with sugar !

5. Spread a wet steaming cloth on the cage of the rice cooker, and then put the Ai Ba Ba. In addition, the water boiled in the rice cooker must wait for it to boil before you can knead the finished Aiba Ba and put it in for steaming. If left cold, the color of Ai Ba Ba will turn yellow instead of blue.

6. The rice cooker can be used to cook rice or porridge. After 15 minutes of high heat steaming, you can open the lid and take it out. Pour on a plate and continue to steam the next basket!

7. Soften the noodles for about 10 minutes to make the Aibaba taste more crispy, eat it cold! Children especially don’t stick to their mouths and hands

Tips:

Powder: Make it according to your needs (half waxy and half sticky). Stuffing: Some sesame seeds are sandy, some people like to use peanuts, (the stuffing needs to be dry and sugar is added, the stuffing does not need water to stir) In order to keep it for a few days and keep the color fresh, you can cook it at the beginning Wormwood with some alkaline water (buy 1.5 bottles in the market)
