I grew up in Zhongxiang when I was a child. It's not the place where I was born, but the second place where my parents came from. Zhongxiang is a beautiful area with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. Every household builds houses by the mountains and rivers.
In my family, because there are four brothers and sisters, parents will also prepare New Year gift boxes very early. Special snacks made of glutinous rice are indispensable in my New Year gift box.
Stir-fried glutinous rice flowers First, wash the glutinous rice and steam it in a steamer. After steaming, put it in a naturally ventilated place to dry, so it is also called shady rice. Put this muddy rice away and take it out if you want to stir-fry rice flowers. Among them, first put some washed and dried river sand into a pot and fry it until it is hot. Then, put it into the turbid rice, and the cooked and dried turbid rice will quickly expand and become more and more white and tender.
Adults will hold them down and put them in a filter tube that can take the hourglass out of the river. Then, put the popcorn in the refrigerator and put it in a sealed food box. When children want to eat, they can grab a handful and put it in their wallet pockets at any time, becoming their favorite "wallet specialty food".
When I was a child, my family would invite the old master who made sugar to come to our house to make sesame sugar cakes and glutinous rice sugar cakes. I still remember that the masters brought their own grinding tools to make sugar cakes, and my father would toast him, pour a cup of good tea, talk about life for a while, and then start making them.
After the masters cooked the old rock sugar in the pot, they quickly put a layer of plain oil on the grinding tool. Then mix the boiled syrup with popcorn, fried peanuts, and peeled dates. Parents take out the sealed sweet-scented osmanthus candy and sprinkle it on the glutinous rice cake. Oh, glutinous rice, peanut kernel, jujube and wintersweet also have sweet taste, which is simply shocking.
Glutinous rice, coconut balls and coconut balls are an essential dish for my family's New Year's Eve dinner and the first day of junior high school. It also has a nice name, called Mariko, a natural pearl. Mariko hemp fiber is the common name of Wuhan people.
After the glutinous rice is washed and soaked, roll a layer evenly on the outside of the ball and steam it in a steamer. Cooked coconut bran seeds are crystal clear, with strong pork belly flavor and the fragrance of glutinous rice. Instant in the mouth, fragrant but not greasy, with a long aftertaste.
Steamed ribs with glutinous rice flour Put the washed glutinous rice into a stone mill and grind it, so that the ground rice noodles taste fragrant and waxy. Mix the seasoning with the meat, cover it tightly with a pot for an hour, then take it off and wrap it in glutinous rice flour one by one. In the case of steaming, the pattern becomes bigger.
Generally speaking, if there is no need for wood stove or coal stove to steam, food will be more easily steamed at the entrance. Some Northeasters eat steamed pork with flour for the first time and say, It smells good! Guizhou people are really experts in food.
Glutinous rice lotus root, especially Honghu lotus root, should choose wild lotus root. Scrape off the skin, wash it, and then pour the soaked spiced glutinous rice into the hole. Wild lotus roots are generally seven-hole lotus roots. Then put it in a steamer, steam it, cook it, take it off when you take it, cut it into pieces, put it on a plate, and heat it to take it. Glutinous rice lotus root has the characteristics of nourishing qi and blood and fragrant waxy powder. The food is not greasy and nutritious.
