Ingredients
Pink Dough:
150 grams glutinous rice flour
130 grams water + 3 tsp Suncore Foods® Red Beet Powder
White Dough:
150 grams glutinous rice flour
130 grams water
Filling:
150 grams ground peanut
75 grams caster sugar
50 grams peanut oil
Syrup:
1 liter water
1/2 cup Suncore Foods® Jasmine Flowers
3-4 tbsp sugar
Directions
1. To Make the Filling — Simply place all ingredients in a food processor; pulse until everything just comes together. Measure out 10-15 grams per ball. Roll them in to circle then cover and place them in the chiller for 30 minutes.
2. To Make the Golden Syrup — Heat up 1 liter water in a saucepan; turn the heat off and place 1/2 cup Suncore Foods® Jasmine Flowers. Cover and let it steep for 30 minutes or more. Remove the flowers; add in sugar. Cook on lower heat until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
3. To Make the Dough — Mix water and flour by hand until everything just comes together. Take a small amount of dough (15-20 grams) slightly flatten it then boil it for around 3 mins. Remove cooked dough and mix it with the remaining dough. Knead the dough until it is very smooth and not sticky.
(Add 1/2 tbsp water or flour to adjust the consistency)
4. Repeat for the pink dough.
5. Measure 25-30 grams per ball, flatten then place the firm peanut filling at the centre; gently wrap and roll it into circle. Repeat for the rest.
6. Boil them in boiling water until they float to the top. Remove and place them in a bowl along with golden syrup. Enjoy!
