Overview

Selling glutinous rice balls, selling glutinous rice balls, Maomao’s glutinous rice balls are cute and round... On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, enjoy the lanterns and celebrate the Lantern Festival! Yuanxiao is how it is called and made in the north; Tangyuan is how it is called and made in the south. The Lantern Festival in the north is shaken out. Wet the fillings and put them in a large basket filled with dry glutinous rice flour and shake them back and forth. The surface of the wet fillings is covered with glutinous rice flour. Wet them again and shake them again...the stickier the glutinous rice flour becomes, the rounder the Yuanxiao will be. The most representative filling: five-nut green and red silk. Yuanxiao is generally larger and thicker, and the soup produced is thicker. The glutinous rice balls in the South are made by mixing glutinous rice flour into a soft dough, and the fillings are wrapped in it by hand. The most representative filling: black sesame. Tangyuan is smaller than Yuanxiao and has a graceful body. The soup is refreshing and very sweet with some sugar and osmanthus. Maomao prefers the glutinous rice balls from the south. With a little thought, she turned the unchanging white glutinous rice balls into pink, plump and cute cat paws. So cute that I can’t bear to take a bite😸❤ Shuaishuai, Sister Smurf, your claws are so cute, mommy can’t bear to eat them😸😸

Ingredients

Steps

  1. 120g raw black sesame seeds

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 1

  2. Use a fine slotted spoon to wash off the surface dust

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 2

  3. Place into bread machine bucket

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 3

  4. Select the jam function of the bread machine, about 1 hour and 20 minutes (if you don’t have a bread machine, you can only use a wok to stir-fry over low heat to fry the sesame seeds. It’s just more tiring, but the effect is the same)

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 4

  5. Lard and white sugar (for lard, you can buy pork fat and refine it yourself. I found it a bit troublesome so I used ready-made ones)

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 5

  6. Put the fried black sesame seeds into a bowl

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 6

  7. Put it into a food processor and add 40 grams of white sugar (the amount of sugar can be increased or decreased according to your taste)

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 7

  8. Crush all the ingredients in a food processor, no need to grind them into pieces, just keep some texture

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 8

  9. Place the crushed black sesame seeds into a large bowl and add 50 grams of lard

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 9

  10. Knead evenly with your hands. Because the warmth of your hands will soften the lard, the newly kneaded filling will be particularly soft and difficult to shape

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 10

  11. Place it in the freezer of the refrigerator for 1 hour to harden slightly and make it easier to handle

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 11

  12. After freezing and forming, quickly divide into equal portions and roll into small balls

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 12

  13. Then put the small balls into the freezer to freeze hard, and the filling part is finished

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 13

  14. 150g glutinous rice flour

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 14

  15. Boil some water

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 15

  16. Pour hot water into the glutinous rice flour (adding hot water will make the dough tougher, but be sure not to pour too much, otherwise the dough will be super sticky)

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 16

  17. After adding the boiling water, stir evenly with chopsticks until it reaches this state. There is no need to wet all the dry flour, otherwise it will be very sticky and cannot be operated

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 17

  18. Then add appropriate amount of cold water

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 18

  19. Stir while adding. After basically adding cold water to this state, start kneading the dough with your hands. During the kneading process, continue to add cold water as appropriate according to the hardness of the dough. Ideal dough hardness: as soft as a human earlobe. (As long as the dough is not sticky, try to knead the dough as soft as possible. The softer it is, the easier it is to wrap the filling)

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 19

  20. Divide a small portion of the kneaded dough

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 20

  21. This is food coloring: pink (you can also use purple sweet potato, chocolate powder and other natural colored materials for dyeing, but in order to pursue the pink and pure color of cat claws, I chose food coloring)

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 21

  22. You don’t have to worry about the safety of food coloring at all, just 1 drop is enough

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 22

  23. Put the colored pink dough and white dough into the crisper and close the lid to prevent the surface from drying out

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 23

  24. Divide the white dough into equal parts with the same number of fillings (my recipe can roughly make 16)

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 24

  25. Place in a crisper box and close the lid to prevent the surface from drying out

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 25

  26. Take a small piece of dough, press it into a nest, put in a frozen filling, and slowly push the soft dough up

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 26

  27. Until it is sealed, then roll it into a round shape

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 27

  28. Place in a crisper to prevent the surface from drying out

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 28

  29. Divide the pink dough into 5 parts, one is slightly larger, and 4 are smaller. Knead it into small balls, and shape the larger one into a triangle with rounded edges. Place them all on the white glutinous rice balls, press them gently, and then flatten the whole cat's claw glutinous rice balls slightly

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 29

  30. Boil a pot of water until it boils, add cat claw glutinous rice balls

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 30

  31. Push gently with a spoon to ensure that the glutinous rice balls do not stick to the bottom, and do not put too many at once to prevent them from sticking to each other

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 31

  32. Because the fillings are cooked, as long as the glutinous rice balls float, cook for another two minutes and they are ready to serve

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 32

  33. The cute and tender cat claw glutinous rice balls are ready. Add some sugar osmanthus to the soup to make it very sweet

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 33

  34. Have you ever been cute? Guaranteed that children will love it

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 34

  35. In fact, it is not difficult to make

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 35

  36. Since lard is added to the filling, take a bite while it's hot and the black sesame seeds will flow out slowly, giving it a great texture

    【Ningbo】Black sesame cat claw glutinous rice balls step 36

  37. Have you learned it? The Lantern Festival is coming soon, so hurry up and cook for your family
