Chapter 849 Making Qingtuan
After paying the bill, Mrs. Tang carried the eggs, and the old woman followed her towards Lao Tou Le with a bunch of mugwort in her arms.
After everything was put away, they went straight back to the Lin Mansion. They put other things aside first. Now the task at hand was: to start making the green rice dumplings!
Linzhi, Tang and Aunt Wang sat in the kitchen and were responsible for picking the mugwort leaves and then washing them with clean water.
Lin Yutang immediately started preparing the filling for the green rice dumpling.
She plans to make several of the most classic flavors: salted egg yolk pork floss, milky taro paste, sesame peanuts, and fresh milk.
Steam the taro and make the fresh milk filling first.
Add cheese, heavy cream, milk, sugar and corn starch into a pot, stir over low heat until formed into a dough, pour into a container, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Next, let’s make sesame and peanut filling. I feel that sesame and peanut filling is really a versatile filling. It can be used as filling for rice balls, moon cakes and even buns. Some are thick and some are thin, but it does not affect its fragrance.
Crush the cooked peanuts and mix them evenly with cooked sesame seeds, sugar and lard.
Next, make Lin Yutang’s favorite – salted egg yolk and pork floss filling.
Crush the roasted salted egg yolks into pieces and mix well with meat floss and salad dressing.
Linzhi has helped to make the last kind of milk-flavored taro paste filling. After all, this filling appears very frequently in their family, and almost everyone can make it.
After all the fillings for the green rice dumpling were prepared, Lin Yutang began to make the green rice dumpling skin.
"Xiaotang, what's this added?"
Linzhi was very curious when she saw that after the water in the pot boiled, her sister added a little white powder-like substance into the pot.
"Baking soda, this will keep the wormwood green, otherwise it will turn yellow later."
Lin Yutang explained that this is how the green rice dumplings are made, making them both beautiful and delicious.
"Oh~"
Aunt Wang behind her also nodded. She had made mugwort cakes before, and the finished product would indeed turn a little yellow.
But she suddenly realized that she didn't even know what baking soda was.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as she gains some knowledge, she will know how to use it in the future. After all, she can use these seasonings from the host’s house at will.
After blanching the mugwort leaves in water for one minute, Lin Yutang took them out and placed them in cold water on the side.
After squeezing out the water, put it into the juicer, add appropriate amount of water and a little baking soda, and beat it into a thinner mugwort paste.
Aunt Wang standing by has used this juicer several times herself, but every time she sees its power, she exclaims again: It’s amazing!
No matter what kind of food you put in, it will turn into mud in an instant.
After the mugwort juice is prepared, you can make the green rice dumpling skin.
Mix the water-ground glutinous rice flour, white sugar, corn oil and malt sugar evenly, then pour in the mugwort juice.
Anyway, the steps for this are to add liquid if the dough is dry, and add flour if it is thin. It is not difficult.
Prepare a separate bowl, add cornstarch and then pour in freshly boiled water, stir until it becomes a fine ball, then add it directly to the green ball and mix well.
"Okay, now we can start making the Qingtuan~"
After kneading the dough, Lin Yutang invited everyone to start making qingtuan together.
The three people who had been waiting impatiently on the side finally heard Lin Yutang say this!
Just now, Lin Yutang was basically the only one busy, and she had to keep explaining things to them, and they couldn't get involved. Now they can finally help.
They don’t know how to make Qingtuan, but they are very familiar with wrapping Qingtuan!
Oh no, after today, they have already mastered the method of making Qingtuan~
"My sister and I will be in charge of dividing the filling first, while Grandma and Aunt Wang will be in charge of wrapping them. Oh, and the green dumpling wrappers will be 45 grams each."
Lin Yutang explained everyone's tasks, and they began to get busy.
The fillings were distributed quickly. After Lin Zhi and Lin Yutang received the fillings, the two sisters also joined the team of making and rolling the green rice balls.
After the dough is rolled, it can be sprinkled with black sesame seeds or white sesame seeds according to the filling, or glutinous rice flour with a little pigment can be used to make small flowers and stick them on the top, and then it can be put into the steamer or steam box.
