Cooking

For this contest I decided to make Chinese balls. The filling can be varied, I decided a long time which I stopped, and joined all the Oriental notes in one beautiful dessert. In the photo I want to show the stuffing to the beads.

First round I took rice and ground it. Carefully milled in fine flour, sifted. Then ground the peanuts, I need it in this form.

Then milled the almonds and walnuts.

Milled dried apricots and raisins.

Also ground the dates. Well, it seems that the filling is ready, and here and there...

I ground the sugar into powder sugar. Take three cups and put toppings to your taste. Peanuts I mixed with raisins, walnuts I mixed with dates and almonds with dried apricots. Added to each Cup a spoon of sugar and a spoonful of softened butter. Added vanilla sugar, one package for all three cups. All thoroughly mixed and put into the refrigerator.

Then, with the help of boiling water and rice flour knead the dough, adding a little powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. They divided the dough into three parts and in each Cup I added a little vegetable juice.

Separately in each Cup mix the juice with the dough, adding rice flour to the dough does not stick to hands. Every color I unrolled dough sausage and cut it into 6 pieces.

Each piece made lepeshechki and posted on the center stuffing. Then made into balls.

But to me this was not enough. Each ball I first dipped in water, and pots roll in rice flour. And so 3 times each ball. And later you will see why I did it.

In a small saucepan, I mixed the rice wine with water.

From two oranges using the juicer I squeezed fresh juice.

Put in the water orange juice with pulp. Added one spoon of sugar, peeled and grated on a fine grater ginger, cinnamon stick and star anise. First of all, the water was heated over high heat, gently lower the balls in boiling water. After a couple of minutes willing the balls pop up to the surface, then left them for a little while on slow fire. To drastically reduce the fire impossible, and in a saucepan I added a little cold water, and the lid is not closed.

The balls turned out very sweet, I can't even explain what they look like.

And this photo shows why I needed vegetable dyes. Really beautiful work:)))

Nowadays, the parades, festivals, exhibitions lights arranged in many parts of the country.
