Step 1
Let’s take a group photo first. Since I only have time on weekends, the fillings are all purchased. Because the grass in our Northeast has not grown yet, and there are no fresh mugwort leaves, mugwort powder is also readily available.. Let’s make a northern family fast food version of Qingtuan. Don't laugh at me, and I don't have steamer paper. I used baking paper instead, which is a bit sticky, so the steamer paper or rice dumpling leaves or corn leaves still need to be prepared.Step 2
About 20 pieces of flour for lesson 300Step 3
10 grams of mugwort powder, I poured too much! If you don’t have mugwort powder, you can use barley juice instead.Step 4
I mixed 200 grams of water, but I didn’t use it up. I estimate that 180 grams mixed with 300 grams of flour would be about the same.Step 5
A little warm water to mix up the powderStep 6
Pour into glutinous rice flour and mix wellStep 7
Pour in mugwort juiceStep 8
Knead into smooth doughStep 9
Wake up for 20 minutesStep 10
The fillings are divided into small portions. The red bean paste you bought is a bit sticky, so you need to sprinkle some glutinous rice flour on the surface to prevent it from sticking.Step 11
Divide the dough into 30g portionsStep 12
Press into dough with handsStep 13
Wrap in the filling, the red bean paste is a bit soft, so wrap it in slowly.Step 14
Knead into a ballStep 15
If the red bean paste filling is lighter, it will leak.Step 16
Brush the wrapped green dough with oil and let it wake up for a whileStep 17
Don’t forget to cover it with plastic wrap, otherwise the surface will dry out.Step 18
Prepare the steamer and boil water for 15 minutesStep 19
Okay, except for some sticky baking paper, everything is fineStep 20
