Pickled vegetables are also called tea prickly heat in Huai 'an. Locals used to drink morning tea. Life used to be slower than now. Huai 'an, Jiangsu Province can also be regarded as a land of plenty. Both city people and rural people drink morning tea. The morning tea of urbanites is very leisurely. Rural people's morning tea simply means drinking some tea before getting up early and going to work in the fields, padding their stomachs with prickly heat, and then doing farm work in the fields, and so on. Prickly heat is a snack or fast food. You can eat tea dry or boil it like instant noodles.
It takes a lot of time to make heat rash. I'll tell you how Huai 'an tea prickly heat is made.
The practice of Huai 'an tea dumplings is to add salt water to the flour and stir it evenly. The purpose of adding salt is to strengthen the gluten of noodles. Knead the dough repeatedly, let it stand for a while, and then knead it. Roll flat and cut from the edge of the dough with a knife to form a whole irregular noodle. Then knead into noodles with a diameter of half a centimeter, and try not to break them. Put the kneaded noodles into a basin, and pour in cooking oil to soak the noodles for two hours.
Two hours later, pull up the noodles wrapped in oil and wrap them around your hands, just like knitting a sweater or knitting wool. Then stretch it, insert a long chopstick, stretch it, and fry it in the oil pan. Fry until golden brown, take out, control the oil and let it cool.
The prickly heat can be eaten directly, boiled with sugar, or with loofah.
