Taiwanese Lo Mai Chi - Taiwan traditional dish

🧂 재료

200 g Glutinous rice flour
30 g Sugar(for the dough)
150 ml Warm water(approximately)
150 g Red bean paste(or other sweet filling like peanut paste)
50 g Cooked crushed peanuts(for coating (optional))
30 g Desiccated coconut(for coating (optional))
1 tbsp Vegetable oil(for greasing hands)

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and sugar. Gradually add warm water while mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
💡 전문가 팁: The dough should be soft but not sticky. Adjust water or flour as needed.
2
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small disc.
3
Place a small amount of red bean paste (about 1 tablespoon) in the center of each dough disc. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely. Roll into a smooth ball.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the filling is completely enclosed to prevent it from leaking out during cooking.
4
Prepare the coating: In a shallow dish, mix crushed peanuts and desiccated coconut (if using).
5
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the filled dumplings into the boiling water. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface and appear slightly translucent.
💡 전문가 팁: Do not overcrowd the pot. Cook in batches if necessary.
6
Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon and immediately roll them in the prepared peanut and coconut mixture (if using).
7
Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 전문가 팁: Lo Mai Chi can be enjoyed on its own or with a cup of tea.
