Donkey rolling is a special delicacy in Beijing. When many people first see it, it is difficult to combine the three words "Donkey rolling" together. They don't understand why this delicious-looking little dessert has such a strange name.
name.
Just as there is no wife in the wife cake, there is certainly no donkey in the donkey roll. Its main raw materials are glutinous rice flour, red beans and soybean noodles, and the production steps are also very simple.
We first put the bought soybean noodles in a pan and slowly stir-fry them over low heat. When we see that the color of the soybean noodles gradually deepens and we can smell the strong soybean aroma, it means that the soybean flour is ready.
We knead the glutinous rice flour and water into a smooth dough, put it into a shallow container, boil water in the pot, and after the water boils, put the glutinous rice dough directly into the steamer and steam it until cooked.
Take out the glutinous rice dough while it's hot, spread a layer of fried soybean noodles on the chopping board, spread the glutinous rice dough on top, and roll it into a 5 mm thick rectangular pancake.
Spread the red bean filling on top while it's still hot, making sure to spread it as evenly as possible.
We slowly roll it up from one end to the other, trying not to leave any gaps in the middle to prevent the rolled donkey from becoming loose.
Roll the rolled donkey and cut it into small pieces, and finally sprinkle soybean noodles on top. A delicious little dessert is completed. If you like soft and glutinous desserts, you must try it.
If you are afraid of trouble, you can buy ready-made red bean paste from outside, or you can choose to make your own red bean paste, which tastes better and the sweetness is easy to control.
The method of making red bean paste is also very simple. We first soak the red beans overnight, add an appropriate amount of white sugar, put it into a pot and cook, and use a food processor to make red bean paste.
Put the red bean paste into the pot and stir-fry over low heat until the water inside is completely fried.
In fact, the reason why this delicacy is called "Donkey Rolling" is mainly because the soybean flour is sprinkled on top in the last step, making it look like a donkey rolling with dust, hence the name.
