Yan Yan Yishou-Dragon Skin Cake

This pastry tastes milky and fragrant. The red dates and potatoes are perfectly combined. After eating, there is a fragrance of red dates between the teeth. It is suitable for everyone~!
I made the dragon skin cake for this year's annual banquet. Next year is the year of the dragon~! In my hometown, lotus seeds and red dates are generally used. My hometown is rich in Xianglian lotus, and the lotus seeds have the effects of anti-cancer, anti-cancer, lowering blood pressure, strengthening heart and calming nerves, nourishing and invigorating deficiency, relieving nourishment, clearing the heart, and removing spots; when paired with red dates, the effect of prolonging face and longevity is stronger.
But considering that it is generally difficult for my friends to have high-quality authentic Xianglian at home, most of the supermarkets sell adult second-hand goods, which are difficult to cook. So I used potatoes instead of lotus seeds, which is convenient for everyone to get materials from anywhere and make them more convenient. The finished product has no lotus seed scent on the taste and no lotus seed milky white in color. It is equally delicious. Besides, red dates also have the effect of prolonging face and longevity.

The origin of the name Longpi Cake:

Dragon skin refers to spring roll skin, and the steamed spring roll skin resembles the skin that a snake takes off. In ancient times, some people said that the snake was a dragon who committed the law of heaven. The Jade Emperor sent people to chop off its hands and feet and was demoted to the heaven. It became a snake, so the snake had no limbs. In that case, I can't overstate snake skin as dragon skin~!

I use red dates and potatoes to make snake meat. If you use lotus seeds, the snake belly is milky white, and the back is dark red with red dates, more like snake meat.

I strongly recommend everyone to try it~! ! !

Ingredients

Yan Yan Yishou-dragon Skin Cake

1. Prepare raw materials and ingredients.

2. If you have lotus seeds at home, you can use lotus seeds, steam them in a pressure cooker and press them into mud.

3. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Place them in a steamer and steam for 10 minutes (the time depends on the slices you cut).

4. When steaming potatoes, we will handle the red dates. Wash the red dates to remove the core.

5. Chop the pitted red dates into fine pieces.

6. Put the butter in the microwave for 1 minute to melt, because it is winter, it is difficult to melt at room temperature. It can melt at room temperature in summer.

7. Add an appropriate amount of butter to the red date puree, stir well and press tightly. Don't add too much butter!

8. Take out the steamed potatoes, press them into a puree, and add some butter and stir well. I didn't add any sugar. The red dates have a sweet taste. If you like sweet ones, you can add some sugar.

9. Cut the spring roll skin into two pieces, take a small piece, and put the red date puree on top. Put on the mashed potatoes, roll over from the edge, and press tightly.

10. Note that I only use one layer of spring roll wrappers. If you fold it too much, you can cut off the excess. Don't roll many layers like sushi rolls. Use the same method to make all the remaining materials into rolls.

11. Spread butter or peanut oil evenly on the plate with the roll. Prevent the roll from sticking to the plate while steaming. Put the finished rolls on the plate, do not overlap, and leave gaps in the middle if they are side by side. Prevent the skins from sticking together during steaming.

12. The prepared rolls are steamed in the steamer for 1 minute in separate water. Be careful to wait for the water to boil before serving.

13. Let the steamed rolls cool for a while and take them out. Gently pick up one, cut into sections with scissors and place them on the plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

14. When cutting, the scissors should start with the mashed red dates. The mashed potatoes are too soft and easy to cut. You can also wait to let it cool before cutting, which is easier.
