Fujian people who can eat can also cook. In an alley in Xiamen, Fujian, we found a snack bar. The owner is an uncle. His taro cake is very popular. They earn more than 1000 a day, and now they earn more than 2,000 in 2 yuan. Moreover, uncle only drives for three hours every day, and it won't happen if he comes late.
Taro cake is a home-cooked snack in Fujian, and we can make it ourselves at home. There are several ways to do it. Uncle's method is very special. First of all, the taro should be steamed in advance, and some salt should be added in the process to stir evenly. Then, the lard should be heated, poured into the cooked taro, and stir-fried, which can be directly mashed into mud, so that the taro mud is ready. Cooked taro paste is eaten alone, with delicate taste and delicious taste. Then prepare the round biscuits that I ate as a child, put the taro paste between two biscuits like a sandwich, and clean up a small corner, which is a lovely taro cake. Then brush the starch water on the side, fry it in the oil pan until it is golden and crisp, and then take it out.
Uncle said he learned it from his friends and has been opening a shop here for two years. Their shop is very narrow and there is no place to eat. The lights are dim inside, and the lights are on during the day. Three aunts are making taro cakes. They put a frying pan at the door. Uncle can smell the aroma of their home from a distance, and now it tastes fresh. Although the entrance is a little spicy, it is crisp, sweet and delicious.
Because the biscuits are crisp and the taro paste is cooked, you don't need to fry them for too long, and you don't need to worry about being too greasy. It tastes crispy, soft inside and sweet outside, and it's all taro paste in one bite. The unique fragrance permeates your mouth and you really enjoy it. Their home is handmade, from steaming taro to frying taro, all by one hand, so they are very busy every day. In addition to opening the store for three hours, they have to wash and steam taro and make long preparations. They use about 150 Jin of taro every day, so this taro cake is limited and sold out.
In addition to taro cakes, there are pumpkin cakes in the shop. The practice is similar. Compared with taro, pumpkin pie is more fragrant and refreshing, and less greasy. With the taste of lard, they taste more mellow. They start frying at 2: 30 every afternoon, open at 3: 00 and close at 5: 00. The sweetness is just right. Old people and children can eat it, and it is best when it is out of the pot. If they can't finish eating, they can put it up the next day, but it doesn't taste good. I like them.
