Donkey rolling

Overview

Donkey rolling is a famous snack in Beijing. I saw the master making it, and I thought I had the ingredients at home, so I wanted to try it too! After reading a few recipes that all used the steaming method, I decided to give it a try using the microwave!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Take a large microwaveable bowl and add glutinous rice flour

   

2. 2 Add cornstarch

   

3. 3 Add sugar and 18 grams of salad oil, and use the rest to brush the silicone mat, etc.

   

4. 4 Add an appropriate amount of water, I added about 180 grams, and mix it into a thin glutinous rice flour paste

   

5. 5 Cover the lid and put it in the microwave on high heat for 2 minutes

   

6. 6 After taking it out, use chopsticks to stir it evenly. Be careful of scalding your hands; put it in the microwave again for 2 minutes, take it out and continue stirring

   

7. 7 After brushing oil on the silicone mat, place the glutinous rice balls on it and brush some oil on the dough

   

8. 8 After covering the dough with plastic wrap, use a rolling pin to gently roll it into a rectangular shape

   

9. 9 Spread red bean paste evenly on top

   

10. 10 Roll it up with the help of a silicone pad, and then roll it up with the seam facing downwards

    

11. 11 Use a sieve to sprinkle the prepared soybean flour evenly on top, turn over and sprinkle some more so that all sides are covered with soybean flour
