Homemade dumplings step by step

1

Glutinous rice flour (supermarkets sell) into a bowl, slowly add warm water, while stirring while adding water, not once added enough, otherwise it is not good to grasp the softness of the dough.

2

The softness of the dough should be harder than that of the dough for dumplings, basically 500 grams of flour plus 280 grams of water. Knead the dough several times until it is no longer sticky.

3

Put the peanut butter and red bean paste in the refrigerator a day ahead of time to harden, so that the dough can be shaped and easily handled the next day when wrapping the dumplings.

4

Fry the black sesame seeds and break them up, then mix them with the red bean paste and peanut butter. Chilled peanut butter, red bean paste and black sesame seeds will be easy to make into various shapes.

5

Pull out a piece of glutinous rice dough, flatten it, put bean paste and peanut butter in the center, slowly gather around it, pinch it into a dumpling, and then knead it with both hands to make it smooth and mold it into a dumpling.

6

Place the dumplings on a plate and leave them for a minute or two.

7

Casserole or other containers of water to boil, into the packaged dumplings boiled over high heat and then change to medium heat to cook for about five minutes, until the dumplings are floating up and then low-fire cooking for a minute or two to fully allow the filling in the dumplings can be melted out.
