Sticky Glutinous Red Bean Rolls

🧾 Ingredients

• 120g glutinous rice flour

• 180g milk

• 20g cornstarch

• 15g cooking oil

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 10g butter (for kneading)

• Red bean paste (as filling)

• Additional glutinous rice flour (for dusting)

👨🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough Base
   In a mixing bowl, combine 120g glutinous rice flour, 180g milk, 20g cornstarch, 15g oil, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir well until fully combined and no lumps remain.

2. Steam the Dough
   Pour the mixture into a heat-safe dish and steam for 25 minutes, or until fully cooked and translucent. Remove from the steamer.

3. Incorporate the Butter
   While the dough is still warm, add a small piece of butter (about 10g) and knead it until smooth and elastic.

4. Prepare the Work Surface
   In a dry pan, toast a few tablespoons of glutinous rice flour over low heat until lightly cooked and fragrant. Set aside to cool. This will be used to prevent sticking when shaping.

5. Shape the Rolls
   Dust your board with the toasted flour. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a long strip. Place a thin line of red bean paste along the center.

6. Seal and Shape
   Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the seam closed. Gently twist or curve each roll into your preferred shape.

7. Enjoy or Store
   Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. For longer storage, keep refrigerated and lightly steam before eating.
