Method

  1. 1 Roast black sesame seeds, then grind them into a fine powder and mix with pork fat and sugar to form a filling.
  2. 2 Let the mixture cool for 1 hour until it becomes firm, then roll it into small 8g balls.
  3. 3 Knead the glutinous rice flour with warm water, then wrap each filling in the mixture and roll into a tightly sealed ball.
  4. 4 Boil the dumplings in gently simmering water until they float to the surface, then wait another minute.
  5. 5 Cook glutinous rice wine with goji berries and osmanthus flowers, then mix in tapioca starch to thicken the liquid slightly.
  6. 6 Fermented rice wine is different from ginger sugar water; therefore, it has a fragrant fermented flavor and a mild sweetness.
