Hello, I'm Amanda. Welcome to Amanda Tastes.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's make rice dumplings.
Last year, I showed you how to make pork dumplings. Today, I'll make a simple one. Tapioca pearls dumplings.
You need small tapioca pearls.
Bamboo leaves, cooking twines, and the filling you like.
Today, I'll make mango and durian flavor.
First, deal with the tapioca pearls.
Add 2 spoons of oil into the tapioca pearls.
Sprinkle some sugar.
Pour in some water for several times.
Stir it at the same time.
Tapioca pearls needs to absorb some water so that they can be cooked thoroughly.
Add some water, and you can put the tapioca pearls aside.
Now we cut mango.
Enucleate the durian.
You can also put other fillings like red bean paste, green bean paste, taro or sweet potato paste.
Now cut the two sides of the bamboo leaves.
I use vacuum-packed bamboo leaves, so I just clean and drain off them.
If you use dry leaves, you have to soak them in the water.
Prepare the cooking twines.
You need to brush some oil on the bamboo leaves before making dumplings.
On the smooth side.
To prevent the tapioca pearls sticking on the leaves.
I use two pieces of bamboo leaves.
Overlap the leave, put the smooth sides upwards.
Make the bamboo leaves into a hopper shape.
Put one spoon of soaked tapioca pearls.
Put several pieces of fruit.
Add some tapioca pearls.
Use a spoon to press them.
Do not put in too much. Keep it 0.5cm from the margin.
Fold it into the middle.
Cover down the bamboo leaves.
Use another hand,
to put the leaves together.
Fold the leaves.
Tie a cooking twine in the middle.
This is the most typical triangular pyramidal dumplings.
Last year, I made pyramidal pork dumplings.
You can have a look.
But I prefer to make triangular pyramidal dumplings when using tapioca pearls.
Besides, I'll make matcha and red bean dumplings today.
You need to put some matcha into the tapioca pearls.
I made the sweet red beans by myself.
I'll tell you how to make the sweet red beans.
Soak the red beans one day in advance.
Soak for at least 8 hours.
Put in the pot, and pour some water to immerse the red beans.
Add some salt.
Cover the pot, turn to low heat, and cook for about half an hour until the red beans become soft.
Add some sugar.
Until the red beans become soft.
Let the red beans absorb the sugar. Wait until the water is evaporated.
When it cools down, it's OK.
You can buy the sweet red beans from the market or use sweetened bean paste instead.
Sift the matcha powder, and put in the tapioca pearls. Stir them.
And then, it's the same.
Add oil.
Pour in water, then add some sugar.
Let the tapioca pearls absorb some water.
The method of making dumplings is the same.
Put a spoon of matcha tapioca pearls.
Add some sweet red beans. Put some matcha tapioca pearls on top.
Boil a pot of water.
Put the dumplings into the pot.
Turn to medium-low heat.
You can put a lid or a small plate on the dumplings.
To prevent them floating.
Cook the tapioca pearl dumplings for about 30 minutes.
Take the dumpling out, and let them cool down.
You can also put them in the fridge.
Tastes cool.
I prefer to pour some coconut milk on the fruit filling dumplings.
Tastes like dessert.
If you use the tapioca pearls. Do not make big dumplings.
Small ones taste better.
I have some mini bamboo leaves here.
I use them to make some cute and mini matcha red bean dumplings.
You need to boil the mini dumpling for about 15 minutes.
The tapioca pearl dumplings are not like the traditional ones.
They are suitable for those who cannot digest sticky rice.
Besides, the dumplings look beautiful.
Hope you like the tapioca pearl dumplings.
