再过两天就是元宵节了，它是春节之后的第一个重要节日，是中国传统节日之一。正月是农历的元月，古人称夜为“宵”，所以把一年中第一个月圆之夜正月十五称为元宵节。
传统习俗除了出门赏月、燃灯放焰火、喜猜灯谜外还有共吃元宵，不少地方元宵节还有传统民俗表演。今天我就给大家分享一下如何做汤圆，买来的汤圆高糖高油的，自己做可以减少油和糖的比例，吃起来更健康哦。
原料：
糯米粉 250g
南瓜 100g
紫薯 200g
黑芝麻 60g
砂糖 20g
黄油（猪油） 10g
黑芝麻馅料做法：
1 熟的黑芝麻和砂糖分别放入料理机打碎。
2 在黑芝麻碗里根据自己口味添加糖和油。自己做可以减少糖和油的用量，更健康。
3 混合均匀后用手搓成小圆球，备用。
彩色汤圆皮做法：
1 南瓜，紫薯洗净，去皮，切薄片。
2 南瓜放小碗里用微波炉高火加热5分钟。
3 紫薯放入蒸锅蒸15分钟。
4 熟的南瓜和紫薯分别用勺子压成泥状。
5 温热状态加入糯米粉，并揉成光滑面团待用。彩色面皮就做好了。
6 取少量糯米粉加入温水，揉成光滑面团，这是白色汤圆皮。
7 在面团上用手分割一小部分，捏揉成小圆皮，把芝麻馅放入中间，向上包裹住芝麻，封口。搓成小球。汤圆就完成啦！逐个包完所有的面团和馅料。
8 锅内烧开水，水开后下入汤圆，煮3-5分钟，待汤圆漂浮在水面上就可以关火了。
9 装盘就可以享用啦！
糯米粉本身不容易消化，加入南瓜和紫薯，增加了膳食纤维，还带有一点点甜味，健康又美味。。
