Fried Lantern Festival in old Beijing
(160028 views)
When frying the Lantern Festival, don't put it into the pot directly. Hot oil splashing is very dangerous. Add this step more. It's golden and crispy. Although this year 's Lantern Festival has been ignored by the epidemic, there is no poetic and picturesque feeling of on the moon, willow head, after dusk. Many people think that Yuanxiao is tangyuan. In fact, although Yuanxiao and Tangyuan have little difference in material and shape, they are actually two kinds of things. Most of the Yuanxiao in the north is filled with sweet stuffing. The stuffing is mostly traditional peanut, sugar, black sesame and the like. Because the processing technology of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan is different, the taste of Yuanxiao is relatively thick, the soup of boiled Yuanxiao is relatively thick, similar to the glutinous rice porridge, and the stuffing is also relatively hard. So in Beijing, Yuanxiao is mostly fried. The skin is crispy and golden. The filling is sweet and glutinous. The rice flavor is rich.

Cooking Steps
Step1:First of all, we'll prepare the ingredients for this old Beijing fried Lantern Festival - a proper amount of glutinous rice flour and soft white sugar. It's enough for the family. If it's too much, it can be frozen in the refrigerator and eaten later. A little hazelnut kernel and black sesame. The hazelnut kernel and black sesame I use are fried. So the steps of fried sesame are omitted. If you use raw sesame, you need to fry sesame ahead of time. The dumplings and dumpling stuffing sold outside are all lard except halal. I don't like lard, so I put butter.
Step2:To make Lantern Festival stuffing, first process the stuffing. Put black sesame and hazelnut into the wall breaking machine and break them. If you like the stuffing, you can beat it for a few minutes less. If there is no wall breaking machine, you can directly put it on the vegetable board to chop or mash it with a container for mashing garlic. Pour the crushed black sesame hazelnut stuffing into a small bowl. Put in the soft white sugar.
Step3:Put the butter in a clean small pot and heat it. Pour the melted butter into the filling in the bowl. Then use a spoon to mix the butter into the black sesame hazelnut and soft white sugar.
Step4:Wait for the stuffing to cool before processing. Prepare the dough first. Pour in the glutinous rice flour with proper amount of warm water for many times. Use your right hand to mix the glutinous rice flour with the dough into a smooth dough, and then put the fresh-keeping film on the back cover for a few minutes to wake up the dough.
Step5:Use your hands to rub the stuffing into a small ball like a ball. Then cover it with a layer of plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Because the glutinous rice flour and dough are relatively loose, the stuffing is easy to spread when wrapping the Lantern Festival, so the stuffing needs to be frozen and solidified in advance.
Step6:When the dumpling stuffing is frozen and solidified, take it out of the refrigerator. Divide the glutinous rice dough into even small flour preparations. In peacetime, the size of the dumpling dough is about the same. The dumpling also pays attention to the thin skin and big stuffing. The thick skin affects the taste.
Step7:Use your hands to knead the dough into a piece of dough. Leave a concave nest in the middle. It's convenient to put the dumpling stuffing. Use your right hand to tighten the glutinous rice flour skin in a circle until the stuffing is completely wrapped in the flour skin. Finally, use your hands to rub into a round ball. The white and fat Lantern Festival is ready.
Step8:Put a proper amount of cooking oil into the small pot. The amount of oil is no more than the dumpling. Heat it to 50% heat and then put it into the wrapped Lantern Festival. After the Lantern Festival is put into the pot, fry it slowly with a small heat. Fry until the Lantern Festival floats and then it will be cooked

Cooking tips:1. Lantern Festival is made of glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice is not easy to digest. People with weak spleen and stomach are not recommended to eat too much. 2. When frying the Lantern Festival, if it's made by myself, you can directly fry it in the pot. If it's a bought frozen Lantern Festival, it's a big mistake to directly fry it. It must be thawed in advance. Without this step, the Lantern Festival is not crispy. The stuffing bursts and hot oil splashes all over the place. After thawing, the Lantern Festival has no ice ballast. The fried skin is golden and crispy, which is more delicious. Hi. This is a small kitchen with long and short notes. Thank you for reading.
