紅豆喜板
材料：
普通麵粉100g
糯米粉50g
紅豆泥100g
糖30g
水130g
酵母 1/2茶匙
油 1 湯匙
做法：
1）把酵母放進水里溶解。
2）然後把麵粉、糯米粉、紅豆泥、糖、油（適量）和溶解酵母一起攪拌均勻，揉至麵團光滑。
3）手沾些油，把麵團分成每粒大約30g，然後搓成粒狀擺放在香蕉葉/ Parchment Paper上，再稍微壓扁一點。
4）蒸鍋裡放了水，開大火10秒後關掉。把放有喜板的蒸盤放進鍋裡，蓋上蓋子發酵（15-20mins ) 至表面光滑。 (切記不能發酵過久，表面會變成一洞一洞，不美了）
5）大火蒸10分鐘。蒸好後把蓋斜開一個小縫，可以讓鍋里外的溫度調和，喜板的表面就不會因為熱脹冷縮而變成皺皺的！ 1分鐘後就可以出鍋咯。 。
