【Sichuan】Pumpkin Bean Paste Balls

Overview

I have had no resistance to glutinous rice since I was a child~~ Sesame balls, rice dumplings, pearl balls, steamed glutinous rice ribs, sweet roasted white rice, etc.~~ As long as it is made of glutinous rice, I can eat it over and over again~~~ As long as the glutinous rice is around, don’t let me put down my chopsticks~~~ Even when I was a child, my parents made rice wine~~~~ I could eat a big bowl of steamed glutinous rice~~~ Of course, this happened when I was a child~~~Now I know moderation~~Although I still like glutinous rice very much, I eat less after all~~~Although it tastes delicious, we can’t be greedy~~ I made this [Pumpkin Bean Paste Meatballs] this time because my mother came to visit me and she also likes glutinous rice food~~~ The glutinous rice flour is mixed with flour, which makes it less chewy~~Mom can also eat more~~ The previous method was to fry the glutinous rice balls in a pan~~~ But I thought that glutinous rice is not easy to digest and deep-fried~~ It tastes delicious, but you have to take care of your stomach~~ So I used an air fryer to make [Pumpkin Bean Paste Balls]~~~ Only 30 ml of vegetable oil was used~~ Very healthy~~O(∩_∩)O~ I wish everyone a good meal and good health in 2017~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the ingredients: flour, glutinous rice flour, pumpkin, white sugar, white sesame seeds;

   

2. 2 Peel and remove the flesh from the pumpkin, wash it, slice it, and steam it in a pot;

   

3. 3 Mash the steamed pumpkin into pumpkin puree with a spoon, then mix with the sugar and stir evenly;

   

4. 4 Add flour and glutinous rice flour to form a soft and smooth dough, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 5 minutes;

   

5. 5 Roll the bean paste into evenly sized balls, just a little bigger than your finger;

   

6. 6 Divide the dough into two, roll the dough into a long strip, and cut it with a spatula;

   

7. 7 Cut the dough into two halves and roll them into balls;

   

8. 8 Flatten the rolled balls, put in the bean paste balls, close them, roll them into a round shape, and wrap them with a layer of white sesame seeds;

   

9. 9 Place the prepared meatballs in a flat plate and do not squeeze them; it is recommended not to use the pot in the picture to place the meatballs. The meatballs are easily deformed after being squeezed. To save trouble, I used a pot with the dough to put the meatballs;

   

10. 10 Cover the air frying basket with a layer of tinfoil and brush it with an appropriate amount of vegetable oil; power on the air fryer and preheat it, set the temperature to 200 degrees for 5 minutes;

    

11. 11 Place the meatballs into the air frying basket and brush with a layer of vegetable oil;

    

12. 12 Set the time to 15 minutes; take it out halfway, shake the air frying basket, and brush the meatballs with a layer of vegetable oil;

    

13. 13 After the process is over, check whether the meatballs are cooked; you can insert a toothpick into the center of the meatballs and pull it out. If there is no residue on the toothpick, it means the meatballs are ready;

    

14. 14 [Pumpkin Bean Paste Meatballs] are ready.
