Quinoa cherry dumplings recipe

Everyone is a foodie. If not, it’s because you haven’t found what you like to eat. If you want to cook the dishes you like, you have to learn. Now, let me introduce to you how to make quinoa cherry rice dumplings.

1. 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 packaged ones.

2.1 Use scissors to cut off the roots of the rice dumplings

3.2 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.

4.12121 Soak the cooked zong leaves in the hot water in step 4, and use them while wrapping. Soaking them in hot water can prevent the leaves from drying out and prevent them from being damaged when wrapping.

5.21212Put 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.

6. Take 100 grams of quinoa

7. Put 100 grams of quinoa in a bowl, add enough cold water to cover the surface of the 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

8.1212 Rhubarb Rice 150g

9.2121 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.

10. Put the soaked yellow rice and washed quinoa together and mix well

11. Prepare appropriate amount of cherries

12. Take a piece of zongzi leaf with the smooth side facing inward and the rough side facing outward. If the width of the zongzi leaf is narrow, take two pieces. Hold the root of the zongzi leaf with your left hand and the middle of the zongzi leaf with your right hand.

13. Lift your left hand up and fold it back to your right hand.

14.1 Look at the back, there is a small crease at the bottom of the leaf

15.2 Fold the bamboo leaf house on the right hand side to form a funnel shape

16.1 Place the folded funnel-shaped rice dumpling leaf at the base of your left hand

17.2 Use your fingers to press the fold to make sure there is no gap at the bottom.

18. Take a cherry and put it in the funnel-shaped bamboo leaf

19. Add an appropriate amount of prepared quinoa and yellow rice, the amount used is about half the volume of the funnel-shaped rice dumpling leaf

20. Use your right hand to press the rice in the rice leaf slightly to make it firm.

21. Put two cherries on quinoa yellow rice

22. Cover the cherries with an appropriate amount of quinoa and yellow rice

23. Use your right hand to press the rice in the bamboo leaves slightly to make it firm. The surface of the rice should be one centimeter lower than the bamboo leaves.

24. Use the thumb and index finger of your right hand to press the left and right sides of the funnel-shaped leaf, and the other three fingers to support the bottom of the leaf.

25. Release the left hand that was holding the zong leaf and hold the upper zong leaf.

26. Press back toward your body so that the leaves cover the funnel-shaped port.

27.Put the palm of your left hand on the covered zongzi leaves, press the leaves along the edges of the zongzi, and hold it at the base of your left hand.

28.Hold the extra leaves in your right hand.

29. Fold back towards your body and wrap the excess leaves around the zongzi along the edges.

30. Use your body to wrap around the waist of the zongzi and tie it tightly

31. For the sake of beauty, you can use scissors to trim the excess leaves

32. A beautiful and small square rice dumpling is wrapped

33.Put the wrapped rice dumplings in the pot

34. Add enough cold water to cover the surface of the dumplings

35.Press a container on top of the zongzi. I used a steamer.

36. Cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat for about an hour. The longer the time, the stickier the rice dumplings will be.
