Colorful dumplings and tomato fruit -- healthy tomato flavor

Colorful dumplings and tomato fruit -- healthy tomato flavor

Introduction:

"The little tomato is rich in nutrition, colorful and eye-catching. It must be very good to make it into painted dumplings. The dough made from fresh tomato juice and ketchup is powdery, but after steaming, something magical happens. The color turns dark and is very similar to the color of tomato pulp. In order to take photos, I add a little red pigment. In fact, the color will look the same without adding pigment. It looks like the color of tomato pulp. It looks like the texture of salsa of tomato pulp. Take a bite. It's soft and glutinous. When your tongue touches the dumpling skin, you can feel a little bit of acid, and immediately eat the sweet bean paste stuffing inside. Tangyuanpi has a strong tomato flavor. I didn't expect that it would be so delicious before I made it. I was just thinking about what color is red and can be used as pigment. I tried tomato juice. I didn't expect that the color was so good. Sure enough, the wool came from the sheep. Hehe, I'll think about other natural colorants and shapes

Production steps:

Step 1: wash the virgin fruit, cut it in half from the middle, squeeze out the tomato seeds and juice, and leave the pulp

Step 2: slightly crush the pulp with a juicer (don't add water). If it's hard to beat, chop it with a knife. The tomato juice was filtered out by rolling the filter screen

Step 3: add 1 tablespoon tomato sauce to the filtered tomato juice and bring to a boil

Step 4: immediately pour the boiled tomato juice into glutinous rice flour and Chengfen to neutralize and form a dough. Don't pour it all at once. Pay attention to the moisture content of the dough and form a soft dough. If you think the color is not deep enough, you can add more ketchup appropriately. The color of the dough doesn't need to be too red, because the color will deepen a lot after steaming

Step 5: take another 20g glutinous rice flour and 10g Chengfen, mix them with boiling water to form a soft dough, add a little Matcha powder and knead them into a light green dough

Step 6: take a piece of red dough and wrap it in bean paste

Step 7: close the mouth and knead it into a ball. Use your fingers to gently press the top of the ball to make it look like a tomato

Step 8: press the green dough into a slightly thick cake, and press out the floret with the floret mould. If there is no mould, you can press out the small circle with the pen cap and other things

Step 9: use your hand to make the flower bigger, and use toothpick to trim the shape. The peduncle of tomato is a little sharp

Step 10: wipe a little water, stick the leaves on the top of the ball, and gently press out the groove with chopsticks

Step 11: press the thread in the middle of each leaf with a toothpick

Step 12: put a small grain in the center of the leaf as the fruit base, and put the prepared tomato cone on the plate covered with plastic film

Step 13: bring the water to a boil, add the dumplings and steam for 8-10 minutes

Step 14: brush a thin layer of oil to prevent the surface from drying

Materials required:

Glutinous rice flour: 60g

Chengfen: 30g

Bean paste filling: 50g

Cherry fruit: 300g

Tomato sauce: right amount

Matcha powder: right amount

Oil: right amount

Note: 1: during the production process, the dough should be wrapped in plastic film to prevent the moisture from evaporating and becoming dry. If it becomes dry, add a few drops of hot water to knead it. 2: the plate must be covered with plastic film to prevent the steamed dumplings from sticking to the plate. 3: after steaming, oil is applied to prevent the surface from drying and teeth from sticking when eating. If it is eaten immediately after steaming, oil is not necessary If you can't finish eating, you can put oil on it and cover it with plastic film to prevent it from drying. Next time, you can steam it again. 4: Green dough doesn't need to add too much Matcha powder, light green is OK, and the color will deepen after steaming
