As everyone knows, green bean rice cakes are made from glutinous rice flour, but using only glutinous rice flour won't form, you need to add a certain amount of flour. The two ladies revealed their 20-year-plus summarized best ratio: 2 jin (approximately 2 kg) of glutinous rice flour plus 8 liang (approximately 80g) of flour, which is easy to form and has a soft and sticky glutinous rice texture.
Prepare 2 jin of green beans, once the water in the pot boils, add a spoonful of quicklime to dissolve, then put the green beans in the water to blanch, after blanching, drain the water, and then finely chop the green beans for use.
Before kneading the dough, add 1 gram of salt and 2 liang (approximately 20g) of pork fat to the glutinous rice flour and flour.
Then add the chopped green beans to the glutinous rice flour and flour, mix evenly, and start kneading the dough while adding hot water as needed.
Knead until a smooth dough is formed.
Then you can pack it, you can add your favorite fillings, the salty version can be salty vegetables, dried bean sprouts, and green shoot fillings.
The sweet version can be red bean paste fillings. Which one do you prefer?
As for the shape of the package, there is no standard, each place is different, as long as it doesn't leak.
Green bean rice cakes steam quickly, once the water boils, steam for 10 minutes and they are ready. Steamed green bean rice cakes turn a deep green color.
Everyone has learned it, take advantage of the good spring weather, make a delicious green bean rice cake and share it with your family.
