Golden carp jumps for the new year

This is my last dish to participate in the annual finals of the World of Food-there is more than every year!

In Jiangnan, especially in Suzhou, you must eat rice cakes during the New Year. If you don't eat rice cakes, it is not a New Year. Rice cake-"Jiaozi" is a new year, and Gao Gao (Cake) is happy to bid farewell to the old year to welcome the New Year. Family reunion and share family love. This is just like eating dumplings on the 30th of the Chinese New Year in the North. Dumplings-Jiaozi are all taken. It means to replace the old and welcome the new.

Today, we have made this rice cake, which symbolizes happiness and reunion, into a beautiful carp shape. Since ancient times in China, there has been a saying that "carp jumps over the dragon gate". Koi carp is a symbol of good luck. By making rice cake into carp, I wish you all success, prosperous official fortune, progress in your children and grandchildren, good luck and happiness every year!

Steps for Golden carp jumps for the new year

Peel the pumpkin and carrot and cut it into small pieces, steam it over the pan, steam it until the carrot can easily poke a hole with chopsticks and turn off the heat;

Pour the steamed carrots and pumpkins into the cooking machine separately

Add a small amount of water and stir until paste

Put them into bowls for later use

Mix the orange flour, glutinous rice flour, and sugar powder and sieve

Divide the sifted powder, milk and salad oil into three portions in a ratio of 4:2:1, mix the 4 portion to form a white paste, add pumpkin puree to the 2 portion to form a pumpkin paste, and add carrot puree to form a carrot paste;

Put three portions of paste on the pan and steam for about 20 minutes under water. The white paste is difficult to steam thoroughly because of the large amount, so the steaming time should be correspondingly longer. Remember to stir with chopsticks while steaming. Steam until there is no white heart in the middle. You can mix. Turn off the heat when the dough does not stick, let it cool until it is slightly cool, and then knead it with your hands into a smooth dough;

Rub the three dough balls into long strips and cut them into small doses

Mix it together and knead it into a small ball every 100 grams. Don't knead it too evenly. The color is better.

Brush the rice cake mold with a small amount of salad oil

Insert the dough into the mold and press it into a carp shape, and turn it upside down into a plate to shape

After slicing the carrots, cut them with flower biscuits to create flower shapes. Dip green beans with a little salad dressing and place them in the middle of the carrot. Place them around the plate.
