Whether it's a pilgrimage or an ancestor worship, there is no shortage of delicious food such as bowl cakes, sweet nude, hair cake, three animals, and golden treasure.

When I was a child, my mother would cook bowl cakes and steam sweet barley at home on New Year's Day, and the smoke would fill the entire ancient house, steaming up the atmosphere of New Year's Day.

But nowadays, everyone is lamenting that the flavor of the New Year is getting fainter and fainter, and in my opinion, it is actually the lack of the fireworks that a family should have.

The origin of the cake

About the origin of the cake, there is an interesting legend: It is said that one day, a farmer's daughter-in-law in the mixing of flour steam cake, accidentally touched over a bowl of wine lees resting on the stove, see the lees into the rice flour, the daughter-in-law anxious to cry, but she did not dare to speak out, for fear of being scolded by the in-laws, can only be stained with lees of rice flour is still mixing in the steamer to steam.

Because of the fermentation of the wine lees, the cake was particularly fluffy and flavorful, with a slight aroma of wine. Thus, the famous hair cake was spread, which is also a beautiful mistake, right?

Fa Cake production is more elaborate, first of all, to select the white glutinous rice to remove sand and gravel and other impurities, and rinse with water repeatedly, and then placed in the water to soak for 3-6 hours, to be soaked in water, after the rice, filtering water to wet rice grinding into rice paste.

And then filter the rice paste to remove particles, plus sugar (or brown sugar), baking powder, stirring well and then poured into the special steamer.

When the water in the steamer boils, put the steamer into the pot, cover the pot with a lid, and keep the fire steaming for about 40 minutes, then you can take it out and let it cool, and cut it into small pieces to eat.
