Q弹有嚼劲的紫水晶汤圆，做了三种馅料：黑芝麻、紫薯和红豆的。看似简单但对初学者来说还是要注意木薯粉和水的份量，不过只要有恒心多试试做几次就能慢慢做到要诀，不过手脚慢的我，包到最后一样面对粉团慢慢地干了，不易包到美美哒💪🏼😅Crystal tang yuan is made with tapioca flour with colorful filling inside. When cooked, the dough turn almost transparent. Crystal glutinous ball is a challenge for new learner as hands on found out there is still need to balance up the portion of flour and water, keep trying will get a better idea what is the correct portion as different brand of flour, different absorption of water.
Purple Crystal Glutinous Ball with Purple Sweet Potatoes, Red Bean and Black Sesame Filling (Tang Yuan)
{Ingredients}
Tapioca flour70g
Castor sugar 10g
Blue pea flower water 80-90ml+ few drop of lemon juice
Corn oil 10g
{Filling}
Black sesame, purple sweet potato and red bean paste
{Sweet Soup Base}
Peeled ginger pieces + brown sugar 1 tbsp + water 300ml, bring to boil only add in osmanthus flower/goji berries that soaked in hot water for 1 min.
{Directions}
1. Mix half blue pea flower water with tapioca powder well and set aside. Another half of blue pea flower water + castor sugar+ corn oil bring to boil and off heat, add in tapioca blue pea flower mixture, keep stirring until forming a soft dough (process need to take 10-15mins, the dough can’t be 100% cooked-80% cooked dough more easy to knead, sticky liquid condition, must be patience to continue keep stirring).
2. If dough not enough 80% cooked, divide into half, put half back into the pot reheat under low heat for a while, then continue to knead until get a soft and smooth dough, rest for 5 mins .
3. Divide to small portions, shape into small ball shape. Prepare a plate that dust with some tapioca flour on top, take out frozen fillings, weight of dough ideally heavy than filling (Example; filling 8g, dough less than 8g as the thinner the dough, the more translucent the dough will be).
4. Flatten the dough, put 1 filling on the center, gather the edge to seal tight, roll into a smooth round ball, topping with some tapioca flour avoid stick together (uncooked portions seal in air tight container and frozen it).
5. Bring water to boil, add in tang yuan and bring to boil again (stir once or twice to avoid stick to bottom of the pot), turn to low medium heat to simmer cook until tang yuan is floating to the surface, add in another half cup of water and bring to boil, off heat and let the tang yuan rest inside for at least 10 min.
Tips for Success:
1. The dough needs to be rolled as reasonably thin as possible, so they can turn almost transparent after boiled cook.
2. Boil the tang yuan over medium low heat (Too hot can break the dough and the filling will leak out).
3. Must let the tang yuan rests after boiling to help gradually turn transparent during this resting time.
