This time,
I'd like to share a dessert
that suits the Lantern Festival
It is (Japanese)
which is strawberry dumplings (actually kind of like gnocchi)
with matcha au lait
The dessert I share this time
because the Lantern Festival,
in Japan, it's not quite popular as in Chinese culture
In Japan it is called
gen shou(元宵the 15th day in Jan.) se tsu(節/festival)
not much Japanese know this word
In English, is Lantern Festival
we'll have
chiyou chin(lantern)
a lantern with a candle in it
You can see those in many countries
On this holiday, many people will have this
"dumpling". Of course
you can still have the traditional dumplings
really tasty, I've tasted it before
but this time i will share
a way with a Japanese twist!
So we'll need
ingredients from Japanese culture
also, in this season
you can easily find a kind of fruit
and make a delicious dessert
Let's get started!
100g glutinous rice flour
10g sugar
I also shared a way to make dumpling before
which is dango
In that video, I used
tofu. So, if you want to add
tofu is also great
the amount of flour and tofu is 1 to 1
and mix them together
90~100cc water
(A traditional way)
Don't add water in a same time
Add it separately
Keep on mixing
Not too sticky, when the dough comes together then it's done!
(like so)
Next I'll use...some beautiful
DaHu(a place in Taiwan which is know for its sweet strawberries) strawberries
Now is the right time
for the strawberries to shine
they are fresh and sweet
100g glutinous rice flour, 10g sugar
90~100g strawberries
Squeeze
Blend them in
Add and mix, add and mix
add some more glutinous rice flour if you add too many strawberries
Two kinds of dough are done!
Roll it
Cut them into chunks
About 16~18 pieces
Roll it into a round shape
You can press in the middle to make a small well
Same with the strawberry ones
Like so this is really easy
so you can prepare
lots of dough first
and gather everyone or the kids and do this
is also fun!
Now the gorgeous
dumplings
the classic and the strawberry are done!
Prepare boiling water
Put in your dumplings
When the dumplings float, they're done!
Put them in a bowl of water to prevent them stick together
Like these dumplings, they don't need to put in
cold water, because, they are made of sticky rice
When they are put together,
the dumplings will turn hard, so we need warm water
If you want to keep them in a fridge,
yes you can, but when you need them
you still need to heat them up a little bit
then the texture will turn back soft again
This time I will prepare
a match soup. Usually, when we make these
dumplings and add
red bean soup, this time I'll make a different one
which is matcha au lait
they are really tasty
I'll use classic
matcha powder
400cc milk
100cc cream
50g sugar
Turn up to medium heat
Cook till the edges are bubbling
Then turn to low heat
Add 8g matcha powder
(use cocoa/sesame powder is also great!)
Stir till the matcha powder is all blended in
Add dumplings
Heat up a bit then it's done!
Now the delicious
dumplings with matcha au lait
is done!
Now it smells really good! The matcha and
the strawberries, because I like matcha
and strawberries both
So this really pumps me up!
I also added fresh strawberry chunks
to enjoy more strawberry flavor!
Another texture as well
I'll have the classics first
Let's dig in!
The classic ones are also flavorful
because they're cooked in match au lait
so there's a match flavor in them
Really good! Now the strawberry ones
I like it! There's a
acidity of the strawberry
and strawberry seeds
quite crunchy, really a interesting taste
You can taste the strawberry but
it's actually dumplings
They taste really good
and with the soup
Awesome!
So the steps are really easy
during the Lantern Festival
you can eat dumplings
If you want to add a twist to them
you can try this dumplings with matcha au lait
Try them out! Thanks for watching!
