I use a cooking machine to break the cooked black sesame seeds. I am lazy. I bought crushed black sesame seeds and mixed them with fine sugar in the sesame paste workshop outside.

Add lard (the traditional taste of Yuanxiao is basically made of lard, but of course butter can also be used instead). Lard is refined by buying pig suet. Usually, I like making China cakes. I always keep a sealed and refrigerated can of lard in the refrigerator at home. Frozen lard is solid, and it is not easy to stir evenly, so I need to heat it in the microwave oven until it melts. Add liquid lard into sugar black sesame seeds and continue to stir evenly.

After stirring evenly, take 15g and knead it into a ball, which is a little sticky. You can put it in the refrigerator for half an hour and knead it into a ball.

Wrap sesame stuffing in a fresh-keeping bag and put it in the freezer for freezing. (Frozen stuffing is hard, which is convenient for subsequent operation)

Pour glutinous rice flour into a larger basin and take boiling water (remember to stir with boiling water! ! ! ) Add stirring bit by bit, and feel the degree of hardness with your hands, and finally achieve a soft and uniform state without sticking to your hands.

After the stuffing is frozen for one hour, take 25g glutinous rice dough, knead it into a ball, press it into a cake, wrap it around the stuffing, and gently move it closer to the center by hand. Hands reunited again and again. Put the wrapped Yuanxiao into a pot sprinkled with 10g glutinous rice flour, and roll it back and forth to keep it covered with glutinous rice flour.

Friends who like light taste can directly boil water for the Lantern Festival! Be sure to put the pot in after it is boiled. After the Lantern Festival is cooked once, add cold water for 2 to 3 times, and the Lantern Festival will prove cooked! ?

Exclusive soup: We have an old shop that makes Yuanxiao. Every day we have to wait in a long line to eat his Lantern Festival. Yuanxiao soup is better. Many children drink it bowl after bowl ... I like dessert very much, so I copied it at home. In fact, it is very simple, and the taste is basically above 80%. Add a small amount of water to the pot and the same amount of rice wine (this kind of rice wine is best homemade, but you can't buy rice wine with a solid content of more than 50% in the supermarket like me). Add rice and rice wine to rice wine, then add appropriate amount of brown sugar and osmanthus sauce, and boil.

Full of sweetness, enjoy it slowly.
