How to make Chaoshan leek cake

Prepare sweet potato starch. If the powder particles are relatively coarse, you can use a club pin to crush the coarse powder first, and then sieve it. Add about 75ml of boiling water and use tools to mix the powder and form a dough. After cooling down, repeatedly press the dough to make it smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside. Pick and wash the leeks and drain them. Cut off the old root part and cut it into 0.5 cm pieces.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix well. After a few minutes, gently squeeze out the leek water. Add another 1/2 tablespoon of oil and mix well.

Divide the dough into several small dough balls, use an appropriate amount of rice flour as dipping powder, then make each small dough ball into a dough wrapper with an appropriate amount of leek filling, and flatten it. Add water to the steamer, cover the steamer with wet gauze, and put the prepared leek cakes in, leaving some distance between them.

Cover the pot lid, boil the water in the steamer over high heat, and steam for 13 minutes after the water boils. After steaming, brush a little cooking oil on the surface of each leek cake. The steamed chive cake can be eaten directly or lightly fried in a little oil before eating.
