Chinese Sesame Cake Rolls

Step 1

Process ingredients:

Wash 250 grams of red beans carefully. Soak 250 grams of glutinous rice in clear water for 1 hour to make the glutinous rice fully absorb water and lay a good foundation for subsequent production.

Tip:

Red beans can be soaked for 2 - 3 hours in advance to make them softer and shorten the cooking time.

Step 2

Cook red beans:

Add 400 milliliters of clear water to the pot. Then pour in the washed red beans. Add 2 grams of edible alkali. Then cook on low heat for 1.5 hours. After cooking, turn off the heat and take it out. Mash it into a fine red bean paste and set aside.

Step 3

Steam glutinous rice:

Spread a layer of gauze in the steamer. After draining the soaked glutinous rice, pour it into the steamer and spread it evenly. Then steam it over water for 20 minutes until the glutinous rice is thoroughly cooked.

Step 4

Prepare for shaping:

After taking out the steamed glutinous rice, mash it with a tool until it is sticky. Then spread a layer of flour on the cutting board. Put the glutinous rice on it and spread it evenly to facilitate the subsequent filling operation. Flour can prevent glutinous rice from sticking to the cutting board.

Step 5

Roll the cake roll:

Evenly add a layer of the prepared red bean paste on the spread glutinous rice. Then carefully roll the glutinous rice into a strip from top to bottom. Press it firmly while rolling to make the cake roll tighter and prevent it from coming apart.

Step 6

Finish and decorate:

Press the rolled cake roll firmly with your hand. Then sprinkle 10 grams of roasted sesame on the surface. Cut it into small pieces of 2 - 3 centimeters. Finally, add a layer of white sugar (30 grams).

Step 7

Complete and plate:

After plating, the delicious sesame cake roll is completed.
