How to make quinoa, red bean and pumpkin dumplings

For most modern people, few people cook at home regularly because they are all very busy. And being busy also destroys their precious health. You should know that the food outside contains excessive amounts of oil and salt, and if you consume it for a long time you will get seriously ill. In order to prevent the occurrence of diseases, we must learn to cook for ourselves. Now, I will tell you how to make quinoa, red bean and pumpkin rice dumplings.

1. Take 100g of quinoa

2.1 150g yellow rice

3.2 Put 100g quinoa in a bowl, add enough cold water to cover the surface of quinoa, stir with chopsticks to make the quinoa absorb water and sink to the bottom of the bowl, and pour out the water on the surface

4.12 Put 150 grams of yellow rice in a bowl, add enough cold water, and set aside to soak. Shanxi people make rice dumplings or steamed rice. Both glutinous rice and yellow rice must be soaked in advance. It takes at least 3 days in summer and 1 week in winter. After soaking, both the wrapped rice dumplings and steamed rice will have a soft texture and will be wire-drawn. This is the highest level of glutinous rice products.

5.21 Soak the red beans in cold water until they swell

6. Put the soaked yellow rice, red beans and washed quinoa together and mix well

7. There are three types of zong leaves sold on the market: dry zong leaves, freshly tied unpackaged zong leaves, and fresh packaged zong leaves. I use the packaged ones.

8. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the surface of the rice dumplings leaves you bought, and gently scrub both sides of the leaves with a soft brush or wet cloth under running water to remove any stains on the surface, and then rinse with running water.

9. Use scissors to cut off the roots of the rice dumplings.

10. Put the washed zong leaves in a pot, add enough cold water to cover the surface of the leaves, sprinkle in an appropriate amount of salt, and boil the water over high heat to sterilize the leaves.

11. Soak the cooked zong leaves in the hot water in step 4, and use them while wrapping. Soaking in hot water can prevent the leaves from drying out and will not easily damage them when wrapping.

Making quinoa, red bean and pumpkin rice dumplings is no problem for our parents’ generation, but for young people who have nothing to eat without having to worry about food, can you really make it on your own? Please believe in yourself, with the perfect cooking method, you can definitely do it perfectly.
