Practice:
1. Weigh the materials of the dough. If the wormwood leaves are removed and cleaned, weigh 200g, wash and drain.
2. Boil the water in the pot, add a little baking soda to the water (or not), and put the wormwood in the blanching water.
3. Immediately take out the wormwood which has been blanched. Cool it with cold water and squeeze out the water. Add 200ml hot water to the wormwood which has been blanched. Put it into the mixer and beat it into a delicate wormwood paste.
4. Mix the glutinous rice flour, rice flour and sugar in a large basin, pour in the wormwood paste, stir it for a while. 5. Slowly pour in the hot water, stir with chopsticks while pouring, until the paste is thick, but does not feel dry. Then pour in 30g of edible oil, and stir evenly with chopsticks.
6. Put enough water in the pot, put the batter on the steaming rack, open fire, close the lid, and keep it on fire.
7. Start timing after boiling the water in the pot, open the lid five minutes later, stir the batter with chopsticks once, and continue to cover the lid for steaming.
8. After another five minutes, repeat step 9, stir the batter once, once every five minutes, at least twice.
9. After 20 minutes of steaming, the batter is all cooked, and the color becomes even dark green. Turn off the fire and take it out to cool.
10. Cool the batter to the temperature that your hand can bear, take a fresh-keeping film, dig a scoop of dough (about 40g) and put it in the middle of the fresh-keeping film, dip your hand in cold boiled water and press the dough flat.
