------------------------SALTY DOUGH------------------------
2 1/4 c Glutinous rice flour
1/4 c Potato flour
3/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Sugar
1 1/2 c Boiling water
------------------------SWEET DOUGH------------------------
2 c Glutinous rice flour
1 1/2 Sweet potato; cooked;mashed
- (1-1/4 lb)
1 c Brown sugar (lightly packed)
1/4 c Water
FOR SALTY DOUGH: To make wrapper: Bring a pot of water
to a rolling boil for several minutes. Meanwhile,
combine the first 4 ingredients. Now, measure the
amount of water needed and return that to a boil and
immediately pour the boiling water over the dry
ingredients. Mix well and knead on floured board for 3
or 4 minutes. FOR SWEET DOUGH: To make wrapper: Mix
the first 2 ingredients in a bowl. Dissolve brown
sugar in water and bring to a rolling boil.
Immediately add water to flour mixture and stir until
dough is firm. Knead lightly for a few minutes until
dough is well mixed. COMMENTS: This dough is usually
deep fried with meat or sweet fillings. The texture is
most interesting because the wrappers become soft and
chewy on the inside and crunchy and crispy on the
outside. Yield: 2 1/2 to 3 doz. wrappers. Source: "Dim
