JAPANESE TEA TOWEL RECIPES

Steps:

• Soak the glutinous rice for a few hours in advance, or overnight. Put it in a rice cooker and boil it with water (half the amount of rice cooked than usual, do not exceed the amount of glutinous rice). After cooking, add sugar while hot and mix well.
• Wash the purple potatoes, peel them, cut into pieces, and steam them in a steamer (or boil them directly in water and peel them after cooking).
• Steam until soft and rotten, and the spoon can be easily inserted.
• Press the steamed purple sweet potato into puree. It is more convenient to use a potato press.
• Add a spoonful of honey to increase the sweetness and slipperiness of the purple sweet potato. It can also be omitted.
• Pressed until the purple sweet potato is completely pureed with purple sweet potato, in a very smooth state.
• Take a piece of plastic wrap, dig a spoonful of mashed purple potato, put it on it, and press it into a round piece.
• Take a ball of glutinous rice and place it in the middle.
• Put the palm up, press the glutinous rice ball with your fingers and stuff it into the tiger's mouth.
• The tiger's mouth closed.
• Pinch the top of the plastic wrap and twist. For a beautiful texture, you can twist it a few more turns.
• After uncovering the plastic wrap, the small, soft and sweet tea towel twisted has been completed.
• Looking at the inside, the perfect collision of purple and white, and the drawing of glutinous rice is also very attractive.
• Because purple sweet potato is relatively soft, easy to deform and scum, if you need to go out to carry or present to relatives and friends, it is recommended to keep the plastic wrap and do not open it. You can also wrap a circle of scotch tape to fix it.
