However, if you think that all delicious food in Hunan is spicy, you are wrong. In fact, there are so many delicious foods in Hunan. Much more.

Hunan people are hard-working. From year to year, rice and wheat are planted in rotation. Various crops: sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc. will not let the land be idle all year round, so although In the 1970s and 1980s when the economy was not very developed, our childhood still had many delicacies worth remembering.

When I was a child, every household would raise a few chickens, which would lay eggs throughout the year to add some nutrition to the children. The capable mothers used the eggs to make various delicacies. , Meimei’s favorite is this sweet potato flour egg pancake. The thin slices of egg sweet potato pancake have both the burnt aroma of eggs and the smooth and elastic texture of sweet potato flour. Every time my mother makes it, I can’t stand it. I couldn't stop picking one piece after another, and couldn't even take care of the rice, so my mother often shouted: Eat less vegetables, eat more!

Now, my son also falls in love with this dish. However, living conditions have improved and eggs have become an extremely common ingredient. I fry more every time so that he can eat it. enough! Sweet potato flour itself is rich in starch, so this sweet potato flour egg pancake is also very good as a meal replacement as a staple food.

Sweet potato flour has many uses. It can be used as starch to thicken gravy, or it can be used as a substitute for flour to mix with other ingredients for pancakes or to make a variety of chewy snacks. It can be sweet or salty and can be made in many ways. Today was originally I mixed the sweet potato flour batter to make fried chicken fillets. After finishing it, half a bowl was left. I didn’t want to waste it, so I added an egg to make an egg pancake. I didn’t have time to prepare the chopped green onions and peppers. The taste was still good, but the appearance was bad. It's a little bit different. When you are making it, remember to sprinkle some chopped green onion, coriander, etc. to make it more beautiful. If you like spicy food, add two chili peppers and a few shredded ginger to make it more delicious.

Main ingredients: 200 grams of sweet potato flour, 100 grams of water, two eggs

The sweet potato flour particles are relatively hard and have coarse particles, and dust will inevitably enter the sweet potato flour during the production process, so we need to soak the sweet potato flour before making it.

Pour the sweet potato flour into a larger container, pour in slightly higher water than the flour, mix thoroughly and let it sit until it settles (at least half an hour). At this time, it can be clearly seen If you see gray-black particles on the surface of the sweet potato flour that has settled on the surface, shake it slightly, pour out the dust and water on the surface, then add water, stir well, soak and settle, repeat this about two or three times, and the sweet potato flour will basically be clean. , it is generally recommended that you soak one day or half a day in advance.

The soaked sweet potato flour will be very fine. Add two eggs and beat well. Add 100 ml of water and an appropriate amount of salt to make a uniform sweet potato flour and egg paste. Use the water according to your preference. Add more and the fried pancakes will be harder. You can know the texture you like after cooking it a few times.

Pour a little oil into the pan, spread it evenly, heat it over medium-low heat, pour the sweet potato starch into the pan, lift the pan and turn it so that the egg liquid evenly covers the entire bottom of the pan.

Close the lid and continue to fry the pancakes over medium-low heat until solid.

Pick up the pan and shake it. If the pancake can easily separate from the bottom of the pan, it means the bottom is solidified. Turn the pancake over. If you want to keep the pancake intact, you can first pour the pancake onto a plate, and then use a plate to pour it over. Return to the pan and fry both sides so that the presentation will be more beautiful.

My family likes to eat crispy ones, so I fry the pancakes slightly and continue to fry for a few minutes. Then add chili powder and mix well. If you have chopped green onions at home, sprinkle some chopped green onions to make it more beautiful and taste better. It’s also more fragrant. Eat it while it's hot, it's soft and elastic, and tastes great. There are also sugar-filled desserts, so you can try it if you like.

Tips:

Whether it is your own sweet potato flour or bought from the market, it must be fully soaked and washed in advance, and repeated many times to clean out all the impurities inside. before it can be operated.

The water should be adjusted according to your own preference. The prepared paste will be relatively thin. If it is too thick, the taste will be too hard, which I personally think is not delicious.

You can also take out the fried pancakes, cut them, and fry them with your favorite side dishes such as chili peppers.
