[:hk]麻蓉湯圓【真材實料】Black Sesame Dumplings[:en]Black Sesame Dumplings[:]

[:hk]

湯圓是歷史悠久的傳統小吃，據說起源於宋朝，當時的人用各種果餌做餡，用糯米粉包裹搓成球形，煮熟的湯圓在鍋裏又浮又沉，也有「浮元子」的稱號，湯圓之名與「團圓」字音相近，所以通常在冬至或農曆新年的時候都會食用，取其團圓之意應節。

肥丁每次做好芝麻糊，總捨不得棄掉芝麻渣，做麵包可加點進麵糰中，便成芝麻麵包。加點糖、油、蜜蜂可做湯圓餡，炒一炒，揑一揑，包一包，數分鐘便能變身芝麻湯圓，真材實料，無花無假。芝麻滋補強身，延年益壽，黑髮美膚，便宜又容易買到。不過芝麻很硬，直接吃不容易消化，做成糊和湯圓餡，香味濃郁，或將炒好的芝麻餡放入消毒過的瓶子中，塗麵包做早餐也很不錯，別等元宵節了，芝麻糊加湯圓，入秋當然要滋潤一下 ~

芝麻餡料材料 ( 2 人份，約 10 顆 )

• 芝麻渣        40 g  ( 芝麻渣是芝麻糊過篩剩下的，芝麻糊做法可看這篇 )
• 白砂糖        15 g
• 蜜糖            1 小匙  ( 使麻蓉潤滑一些，可省略 )
• 植物油        1 大匙

湯圓皮材料

• 糯米粉         50 g
• 粘米粉 (在來米粉)   1/4 小匙 ( 加入粘米粉可使皮料更彈 Q，只有糯米粉也可以 )
• 暖水             5 大匙

做法

1. 芝麻渣拌入白砂糖、蜜糖、油攪拌，放在鍋中，小火炒 1 – 2 分鐘，將糖溶解並混合均勻亦可，離火放涼，分成 10 份，滾圓，備用

2. 糯米粉加入粘米粉，拌勻，逐少加入暖水，將麵糰搓揉均勻至三光 ( 碗光、手光、麵糰光滑 ) 即可，均等分成 10 份，滾圓

3.  滾圓的麵糰壓平，包入芝麻餡，輕輕搓成圓形，放在碟子上，每個湯圓之間要留有空隙，預先在碟子撒點糯米粉，可防止黏底

4.澆一鍋沸水，水滾後放入湯圓，當湯圓煮至浮上水面的時候便可撈起享用

小叮嚀

• 搓好的湯即食是最理想的，如想飯前預先搓好，可覆蓋一塊擰乾的濕毛巾，以防湯圓變乾裂開

• 50 g Glutinous Flour
• 1/4 tsp Rice Flour

3. To wrap the dumplings, take a dumpling skin and put a ball of filling into the centre of the skin. Then fold the skin over and press together until all the air pockets are pushed out. Connect both ends together to make a ball shape. Sprinkle some flour on the tray before you place the finished dumplings

Tips

• Dumplings taste best immediately after cooked. If you prepare it before meal, don’t cook the dumplings, cover it with wet towel to prevent drying out
