How to make chive cake

Chive Cake is a local snack in the Chaoshan area of Guangdong. Its filling is usually leek. The cake skin is made of rice flour with a small amount of water. It is slowly stirred into a ball in the pot, then taken out and added with cold water, and finally rolled into a large ball. After cooling, the filling is added. Its method is relatively simple. Let's learn about the method of chive cake. Let's take a look at this aspect.

How to make chive cake

Ingredients A: 1 cup of cornstarch, 1 cup of tapioca flour, 2.5 cups of water, some salt, 1 tablespoon of salad oil, tapioca flour (reserved) B: leeks, dried shrimps, garlic, salad oil, a small amount of salt

Method 1. Mix all ingredients in A into a paste, except the reserved tapioca flour. 2. Pour into a non-stick pan and cook over medium heat until the noodles become a dough. 3. Sprinkle some of the reserved tapioca flour on the table and then pour the dough onto the table. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the table. 4. Just knead the dough for one minute. Sprinkle some tapioca flour on the table or hands to prevent sticking. 5. Divide the kneaded dough into small equal parts, roll them into balls, and then use a rolling pin to roll them into round pieces. Then you can start wrapping them with leek fillings. 6. Wash the dried shrimps with water to remove impurities and dust. 7. Add salad oil to a pan and use medium heat to sauté the garlic and dried shrimps. It is best to sauté them until they turn golden and you can smell the fragrant aroma. 8. Wash the leeks, cut them into small pieces, add the sautéed dried shrimps and a little salt to season, and it becomes the filling. 9. Place the wrapped chive cake on a plate coated with oil and then steam it. After 10 to 15 minutes, the crystal clear and delicious chive cake will be ready to be served.

Tips 1. Be careful when kneading the hot dough! Just knead it gently, and sprinkle some tapioca flour on the table or hands to prevent it from sticking. 2. Chives are easy to cook, so there is no need to cook them in advance. 3. When steaming, be sure to apply some oil on the plate where the chive cake is placed to prevent it from sticking to the plate and being unable to be taken out after being steamed. 4. Once you’ve learned how to make the outer skin, you can actually use it to wrap different fillings! The one in my picture is the vegetable cake with two fillings: chives and jicama (^.^). If you add shrimps into it, it becomes a crystal shrimp dumpling! You must learn it, it's super simple.
