How to make lotus seed and egg yolk rice dumplings

Many delicious foods can be made by more than just restaurant chefs. You can also do it at home, of course, this requires you to learn it yourself. Here is a recipe for lotus seed and egg yolk rice dumplings. Learn it yourself and try making it at home.

1. Soak the glutinous rice in clean water before going to work in the morning. I make the dumplings after dinner. Drain the glutinous rice 2 hours before making dumplings and mix them with light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.

2. Cut the pork belly into small pieces, marinate with ginger slices or ginger powder, light soy sauce, salt and cooking wine in advance, and refrigerate.

3. The lotus seeds are also soaked in clean water in the morning.

4. Buy a bag of salted duck egg yolks, 9 pieces. You don’t have to put the whole thing in, you can cut it in half. This egg yolk called Shendan is very expensive, 17 yuan a bag.

5. Soak the rice dumplings leaves and ropes in water in the morning and rinse them before wrapping them.

6. Open the package, take two pieces of rice leaves, stack them up with the ridged side facing down, put a small amount of glutinous rice first, then put in 2 or 3 lotus seeds, and then put in egg yolk and pork belly.

7. Add a small handful of glutinous rice and press it down. Cover with rice dumplings leaves.

8. Turn the rice leaf over, wrap the four corners, pinch it tightly and tie it with a rope. This was taken at night, so the lighting wasn't very good, haha.

9. The wrapped rice dumplings are plump, like little pigs, right? The next step is to improve the appearance.

10. Put water in the pressure cooker to cover the rice dumplings, pressurize it, and then reduce the heat to low and cook for 45 minutes.

I used 11.1 kg of glutinous rice to make 26 rice dumplings, 7 of which were filled with sweet bean filling. Be sure to cook them separately, as there will be oil in the soup of the rice dumplings.

12. The egg yolk is very fragrant, the lotus seeds are soft and tender, and the pork belly is not greasy.

If you want to make this delicious lotus seed, egg yolk and meat rice dumpling, please read the above steps carefully, and then learn to make it carefully and patiently several times. In this way, it won’t be long before you see the “results” of your labor.
