Ham Ching Peng

 This is my girl's favourite snack, when I came across this recipe I am so excited to try it. As now I just mastered the control of frying.

Everything is from scratch, even the red bean filling is homemade.

So let's get started

Ingredient

Dough

Plain flour 200g

1/2 tsp baking power

1/4 tsp five spice powder

2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp instant yeast

120ml water

1/2 Tbsp oil

White sesame seed

Red bean filling

75g red bean

85g sugar

1 Tbsp oil

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 Tbsp glutinous rice flour + 1 Tbsp water

Instruction:

Red bean filling

1    Soak the red bean overnight in the fridge

2    I used the steam function on my rich cooker to cook the red bean. Pour enough water to cover the          red bean in the rice cooker pot and let the cooker do the cooking

3    Once the red bean is tender and let it cool slightly, blend the red bean into a smooth puree using a          blender

4    Strain the red bean puree using a strainer to get the smooth paste

5    Add in sugar, oil, salt and the glutinous rice mixture, mix well

6    Bring the mixture to boil and turn the heat down when paste starts to thicken, stir continuously

7    Cook until a smooth paste is form,

8     Divide the paste into 10 small balls

Dough

1    Shift flour, baking powder, five spice power and mix well

2    Add sugar, instead yeast and salt into the flour mixture

3    Next add in water and knead into a dough

4    Add oil and knead til a smooth dough is form for 5 mins

5    Cover and proof for 45 mins

6    After proofing, cut the dough into 10 equal pcs

7    Take the red bean filling to be wrapped by the dough and roll into shape of ball, tighten the edge

8    Flatten the ball and let it rest for 10 mins

9    Prepare the fryer

10    Brush the disk with water and sprinkle sesame oil and fry til golden brown on both side. The                dough will puff up

Enjoy!!
