水晶班兰莲蓉迷你粽(Crystal Pandan Paste Dumpling)



 眼看端午在即,裹粽的雅兴大大的被提起,
之前做了肉粽娘惹粽碱水粽
今天又来挑战水晶粽。
With the Dragon Boat festival just around the corner, my enthusiasm in making dumplings have been greatly aroused. Having made the traditional Glutinous Rice Dumpling, Nyonya Zhang and Kee Zhang, I decided to give the Crystal Dumplings a go.




 水晶粽,小巧玲珑,份量大约一个大 匙。
主要材料为沙谷米,是不好糯米者的另一个选择。
Crystal Dumplings are small and bite-sized. With its main ingredient being the sago, it is an alternate choice for those who do not enjoy glutinous rice.

水晶班兰莲蓉迷你粽(Crystal Pandan Paste Dumpling)
食谱参考“名食谱第85期”,稍作更改。
约裹12粒

材料A
300克沙谷米 ...........................300g sago
1茶匙油 ...................................1tsp oil
1/2 茶匙盐 ...............................1/2 salt
150克班兰莲蓉馅 ...................150g pandan paste

材料B
12 片小粽叶 ...........................12 bamboo leaves(softened in boiling water for 10 minutes, drained.)
12 条 咸水草 ..........................12 hemp(softened in boiling water for 10 minutes, drained.)

做法:
1。将沙谷米洗净,浸泡20分钟,捞起,沥干水分。加入油和盐,搅拌均匀待用。
2。 将莲蓉馅分出12份,每份约12.5克,搓成圆球,备用。
3。 在一张小粽叶,涂上一层油(蒸熟时,容易脱叶),然后折起成三角斗。舀入适量的沙谷米,中间放入一粒班兰莲蓉内馅,再加一些沙谷米盖上。裹成粽子型,用咸水草扎紧。
4。放进预热蒸炉,大火蒸15- 20分钟或熟透,脱叶,即可食用。 

Method :
1. Rinse and soak the sago for 20 minutes, then remove and drain. Add in some oil and salt, then put aside for later use.
2. Divide the pandan lotus paste into 12 parts, each about 12.5g, and roll them into balls.
3. Grease a piece of bamboo leaf (for easier removal of the cooked Crystal Dumpling later). Fold it in half, then form a conical shape in your palm. Scoop in some sago, top it with a piece of pandan lotus paste ball then add more sago to encase the paste ball. Finish wraping the dumpling and tie it with a piece of hemp.
4. Put the dumpling in a preheated steamer and steam over high heat for 15-20 minutes. Remove the leaf and serve hot.


 根据原食谱,水晶粽的体积应该只有一大匙般,
方便食用,对于只想试味的朋友更是适合。
可是我却裹成双倍大,希望下次可以更细腻一些。
According to the original recipe, the Crystal Dumplings should be roughly the size of a tablespoon, but I had made them twice the original size. Hopefully, next time I can make them smaller.



 莲蓉内馅,甜而不腻;
搭上 微咸沙谷外层,和淡淡的粽叶味;
自树一格,精致美味。
The sweet pandan lotus filling, combined with the slightly salty sago and the mild aroma of bamboo leaves produces a delicious and unique festive delicacy.


***** Enjoy *****

  5. Hi Aunty Young, this is a very nice dumpling, Looks so chewy and good. I can imagine how tasty this is especially when sago is my favourite. I'll try but not this time, my mom can't accept new versions of chang. I'll be in trouble if I make them for Chang festival.
