Ingredients:

1. Purple Yams (bought from the market)

2,Chinese Yam

Steps:

1. Wash the purple yams and Chinese yamsSteam, then peel off the skin.The outer layer of purple yam is easy to remove after steaming, but the skin of the Chinese yam remains difficult even after steaming, and the thin skin takes a long time to remove thoroughly.

After steaming, purple yams are easily peeled, while the Chinese yam's skin sticks tightly. It requires considerable effort to completely remove it.We wonder if peeling before steaming would make it easier.

2. Mix the mashed purple yam and Chinese yam with a little sugar for use as dough.You can use purple yam for the dough or mix both purple yam and yam.Chinese yams, when steamed and mashed, are very sticky and difficult to form into shapes without sticking to your hands.

Our preference is mixing them together, with more purple yam. Purple yam has a milder natural sweetness than other varieties of sweet potatoes, so we add just a little sugar.The natural sweetness of the purple yam is less intense than that of othersweet potatoes, thus a small amount of sugar is needed.3. Preparered bean

paste as filling.We pressure-cook the red beans with just enough ice sugar; too much water would make it too runny and difficult to use as filling.4. The process is similar to making dumplings. According to the size of the mold, take a portion of purple yam or mashed purple yam and Chinese yam dough, shape into a ball, press into a small round biscuit, place the red bean paste in the middle, wrap it up, form another ball, place it in the mold, flatten it, and after removing from the mold, you have a well-formed and patterned biscuit.

Tips:1. To prevent sticking to the mold, sprinkle a little water on the inside of the mold before use.2. When pressing dough into molds, do not press too hard as it may be difficult to remove from the mold.
