Crystal Purple Sweet Potato Rice Balls

Crystal Purple Sweet Potato Rice Balls

Overview

Not long ago, I saw a friend post on Moments eating crystal glutinous rice balls from a certain pier. It looked very beautiful, and I was ready to do it. The question is how to do it? Unfortunately, I couldn't find the recipe online, so I went to the supermarket to look at the ingredient list of the packaging bag. It was written that lotus root starch was added to the skin, but the amount seemed to be very small. There is also waxy corn starch. The lotus root starch is transparent but the color feels darker. In the end, I decided to use Chengfen, which is relatively white in color. Adding lotus root starch will make it slightly transparent. Then wrap the filling with a thin skin, and the crystal glutinous rice balls are made. Unfortunately, the ones bought in the supermarket recently are this kind of light-colored flower-centered purple sweet potato, which does not have that deep purple color, so the color of the finished product is still a bit worse. We will improve it in the future.
