Where is hemp ball a traditional food?

This is a traditional food in the south. You can definitely see this kind of breakfast in breakfast stalls in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and it usually takes only one morning to sell out the hemp balls, which shows the local residents' love for hemp balls, but the food needs to be shared. With the development of traffic, this kind of food has also been introduced to some areas in the north. Here's how to make hemp balls.

First of all, people who have never done hemp ball generally have a wrong understanding. They think hemp balls are made of glutinous rice flour. In fact, hemp balls need to add another key raw material (gluten-free wheat starch). Without this raw material, hemp balls will not swell. If you add some water, they will become jiaozi. When glutinous rice flour and gluten-free wheat starch are mixed, add some lard and sugar and stir. The content of lard and sugar determines the sweetness of hemp pills.

Second, the production of hemp ball stuffing is generally bean paste. First, choose the best red beans, wash them and cook them. Put the cooked red beans on the filter screen and squeeze them by hand until only the skin of the red beans is left on the filter screen. Then filter the filtered mixture with a thin filter screen, and it should be red bean pills after controlling the water to dry. Finally, stir-fry the red bean balls and brown sugar together, thus making the stuffing of hemp balls.

Third, the final production process is the integration of hemp jerseys and fillers. First, roll the linen jersey into small balls, and then add a proper amount of bean paste before making balls. Finally, water is applied to the finished ball, which is very important. Otherwise, there will be no sesame seeds in the hemp balls. Finally, when frying hemp pills, be sure to have a small fire! Small fire! Small fire! If you use hemp balls, it is not only easy to paste but also easy to crack, and the previous steps are in vain.
