Ingredients for Sticky Rice Balls with Red Bean Filling For 5 people
Red beans 500 gr Glutinous rice flour 500 gr Ginger 20 gr Sesame a little (black sesame) Granulated sugar 200 gr Palm sugar 400 gr Salt a little
How to choose good, quality red beans
- Choose beans that are bright red, not infested with insects, and have no signs of mold or unpleasant smell.
- Choose beans that are moderately sized so that after cooking, they achieve the desired softness and rich flavor.
- Avoid choosing overly large beans, as these often taste bad, have less nutrition than smaller beans, and can produce a slight bitterness when eaten.
Tools needed
How to make Che Troi Nuoc with Red Bean Filling
-
Cook the red beans
After soaking, put the beans in a pot and cover with water about 1 finger joint deep, cook until the beans are soft.
Next, put the beans into a blender or use a handheld mixer to blend until the beans are smooth.
Tip: Cook until the beans are soft, do not let the water evaporate to avoid burning the beans.
-
Make the red bean filling
Add 200g of granulated sugar and a little salt, continue to use the blender to blend the bean and sugar mixture smoothly.
Put the mixture into a pot, place it on the stove, cook on low heat and stir until the beans thicken.
Transfer the beans to a bowl to cool, then divide the beans into equal portions.
Tip: While cooking the beans, continuously stir to prevent burning.
-
Make the dough for the floating cake
Put 500g of glutinous rice flour into a bowl, use your hands to knead the flour, then gradually add water while kneading the dough until it becomes smooth.
Tip: It is best to knead the glutinous rice flour with warm water at 50 – 70 degrees, as water that is too hot will cause the dough to stick to your hands, making it difficult to shape the cake. Kneading the dough with cold water can cause the dough to clump together and not dissolve completely.
-
Wrap the floating cake ball
Use your hands to flatten the dough and place the red bean filling inside, then proceed to wrap the cake.
Tip:
- To have a delicious floating cake, the dough must be thin, not too thick, and the cake must be round.
- The filling must be wrapped securely, not sticking out to avoid the cake breaking during cooking.
-
Cooking Floating Rice Cake
Boil a pot of water to cook the cake; when the water is boiling, add the cake and cook until it floats, then continue boiling for about 1 – 2 minutes before removing the cake and placing it directly into cold water.
Boil 400g of palm sugar with 300ml of water and a little salt to balance the sweetness of the sugar until it dissolves. Then add a little sliced or minced ginger and cook for another 1 – 2 minutes before turning off the heat.
-
Completion
Pour the sugar syrup you just cooked over the boiled cake to complete the red bean floating rice cake dish.
-
Finished Product
These round, cute balls of sweet, fragrant syrup are incredibly enticing. Biting into one will let you experience the chewy, soft outer layer blending with the sweet red bean filling inside, creating a wonderful dessert.
Red bean-filled floating cake served with a bit of coconut milk and some roasted white sesame seeds will taste much better.
