Make glutinous rice balls with the whole family, a simple parent-child DIY that is delicious and fun. Winter is here. In addition to wearing winter clothes to keep out the cold, the whole family can also get together to make glutinous rice balls together. It is not only delicious but also fun! This article is "Xiaobaojia's Tangyuan Activity". It will introduce the materials, production methods, parts that children can participate in, and share the finished product.

During the Lantern Festival, instead of attending the crowded lantern festival, the whole family got together to make glutinous rice balls, which was also fun! Common flavors such as sesame and peanut are commonly available in the market, so I make my own red bean and matcha rice dumplings at home (one part is a small matcha rice dumpling, and the other part is a matcha-wrapped red bean filling rice dumpling), which is more differentiated! This article is "Xiaobaojia's Tangyuan Activity". It will introduce the materials, production methods, parts that children can participate in, and share the finished product. Ingredients 1. 550g red beans 2. 300g sugar 3. 400g glutinous rice flour 4. Matcha (or water) 200-220 5. A little powdered sugar (to reduce the bitter taste of matcha) Preparation method 1. Oil-free red bean filling (pure)

1) Wash the red beans first and put them in a pot, add twice the amount of water as the weight of the red beans (e.g. 550g red beans add 1100% water), 2) Bring to a boil on the gas stove, then move to the electric pot, the first stage Add two cups of water to the outer pot, simmer, stir slightly, add another two cups of water to the outer pot and continue cooking. When it enters the keep warm mode, you can see slightly moist and soft red beans. 3) While hot, slowly add sugar and stir. After 550g of red beans are boiled into puree, adding 200g of sugar will already have obvious sweetness. It is recommended to add sugar at your own discretion and test your favorite sweetness while adding it. Thoughts: When red bean paste is used as glutinous rice dumpling filling, the sweetness of the taste will be slightly lower than when eaten directly. 550g of red beans can make a large pot of mashed beans. It is recommended to do it at one time. After the mashed beans are completed, divide it into small bags and freeze them. This time, only a small part will be used for the glutinous rice balls. 2. Matcha glutinous rice ball skin

1) Prepare 400g glutinous rice flour, add 80g of it to warm matcha or (matcha powder, powdered sugar and water) for about 100, and knead it into "粲马" (what is rice dumpling?) Boil the rice dumplings in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then take them out when they are cooked and float.

2) Mix the glutinous rice flour with the remaining 320g glutinous rice flour in the pot, add a small amount of matcha (water) of about 120% in portions, and use your hands to mix the glutinous rice flour and shredded rice flour. Knead the rice dumplings into lumps and gradually become a smooth rice dumpling. Thoughts: This is my first experience at this stage, and I will be very worried about not being able to knead the powder into dough. Keep looking at the glutinous rice flour in the pot, and add matcha little by little. From breaking up to forming a ball, all you need is patience and confidence. It is recommended to wear plastic gloves for operation, they are non-sticky and very convenient! 3. Make Matcha glutinous rice balls and matcha glutinous rice balls with red bean filling

1) Cut the rice dumplings into pieces, roll them into long strips, then cut them into small pieces, and roll each piece into a small ball. 2) After completing a certain number of small glutinous rice balls, divide the remaining dumplings into pieces and roll them into larger balls. 3) Press down from the middle and shape the small dumpling on your hand into a small bowl. The bottom is slightly thicker and the sides are thinner. Fill the middle with red bean paste, then wrap it up and knead it slightly into a ball. Thoughts: Making small bowls with your hands requires practice. Don’t be greedy and pack too much filling. Exposed red bean puree will make the glutinous rice balls look bloody and dirty!

4. Place and store 1) Small glutinous rice balls can be placed in a container sprinkled with some glutinous rice flour.
