Here are a few key steps to try:
First, choose high-quality glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice flour is the main raw material of Lantern Festival, and choosing good quality glutinous rice flour can make the taste of Lantern Festival more delicate and tender.
Secondly, control the ratio of water to glutinous rice. When making Lantern Festival, the ratio of water to glutinous rice should be appropriate, if there is too much water, it will cause the Lantern Festival to taste too soft and glutinous and lack elasticity; If there is too little water, it will make the Lantern Festival taste too rough. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust according to the actual situation to make the taste of the Lantern Festival reach the best state.
Third, pay attention to the soaking time of the glutinous rice. Before making the Lantern Festival, soak the glutinous rice for enough time to allow the glutinous rice to fully absorb the water and become soft and easy to stir. At the same time, soaking for too long will also cause glutinous rice to deteriorate, affecting the taste and hygiene of the Lantern Festival.
Fourth, master the steaming skills of the Lantern Festival. When steaming the Lantern Festival, it is necessary to control the heat and cooking time to avoid over-cooking or under-cooking of the Lantern Festival. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the steamer clean and hygienic to avoid pollution to the Lantern Festival.
Finally, serve with the right amount of filling. When making Lantern Festival, different fillings can be chosen according to personal taste. When choosing fillings, pay attention to choosing fillings that are smooth, sweet but not greasy, such as black sesame seeds, peanut butter, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the amount of filling, so as not to affect the overall taste of the Lantern Festival.
In short, to make a smooth, sweet but not greasy Lantern Festival, you need to pay attention to the choice of glutinous rice flour, the ratio of water to glutinous rice, the soaking time of glutinous rice, steaming skills, and the combination of fillings. Only when these aspects are done in place, can we make a smooth and tender Lantern Festival product.
