👨🍳 조리법

Prepare the Mung Bean Filling: Rinse the mung beans thoroughly. Soak them in ample water for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. Drain the soaked beans and steam them until very tender. Alternatively, boil them in water until soft. Mash the cooked beans into a smooth paste. In a non-stick pan, combine the mung bean paste with 50g of sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, resembling a dough. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool completely, then divide into 6 equal portions and roll them into small balls.

Make the Glutinous Rice Dough: In a large bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, mixing with your hands or a spatula until a soft, pliable dough forms. The dough should be smooth and not sticky. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until elastic. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Flatten one portion of dough in your palm, place a mung bean ball in the center, and carefully wrap the dough around it, sealing it completely. Roll gently between your palms to form a smooth, round ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Ensure there are no cracks or openings.

Prepare the Ginger Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 100g of sugar, the sliced or grated ginger, and 750ml of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the ginger to infuse its flavor into the syrup. Strain the syrup if you prefer a clear liquid, or leave the ginger pieces in for a more rustic presentation. Keep the syrup warm.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Cook the Rice Balls: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully drop the prepared glutinous rice balls into the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Cook until the balls float to the surface, which indicates they are cooked through. This usually takes about 5-8 minutes. Once they float, let them simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked balls from the boiling water and transfer them directly into the warm ginger syrup.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Finish and Serve: Gently stir the coconut cream into the ginger syrup with the cooked rice balls. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, just to heat the coconut cream through and allow the flavors to meld. Do not boil vigorously after adding coconut cream. Ladle the chè trôi nước into individual serving bowls, ensuring each bowl gets a few rice balls, syrup, and some coconut cream. Garnish generously with toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm.
