Drinks and special recipes
Shaowu people eat by feeling sticky, just like Beijingers have a special liking for bean sauce and fried sauce, eating is a kind of enjoyment. Standing or sitting on the street, leaning on a simple chair, calling friends to kill. Or eat too spicy, scream, swallow saliva and look crazy. It's crazy and exaggerated, but Shao Wuren enjoys it. There is no such thing anywhere in the streets, canteens and restaurants. It is absolutely enjoyable to eat.
It's not difficult to stick to it. The selected japonica rice and indica rice are mixed in a certain proportion, soaked and ground into rice slurry. Put the precipitated rice slurry into a hot pot and stir until it is half cooked. In the process of stirring, while stirring, a proper amount of natural alkaline water is poured in. Burning alkali-rich plants into ashes, soaking them in water, and filtering out natural alkali water for cooking. Then knead the half-cooked rice paste into strips, cut it into half-centimeter-thick round cakes with a knife, and knead it into oval slices with slightly upturned periphery and concave middle, just like squeezing with heels. Fold 5-6 slices into a jiaozi, and steam it in a steamer over high fire. When steaming, put rice flour meat made of pork belly.
I've seen the kneading process, and my fingertips are flying and kneading fast. After steaming, each piece will stick together and separate, and occasionally you can see the fingerprints left at that time. It is said that six pieces are needed for orthodox sticking, which is a good sign. But now merchants sell more than five dollars, in order to calculate the price conveniently.
Rice flour meat is desirable. There is no steamed rice flour meat on it, which is more astringent, less round and smooth, and the color is not moist and shiny. Eating rice flour and paste is a perfect match. Rice flour meat is delicious, oily but not greasy, and tastes delicious when it goes down; The heels are spicy and fragrant, which makes people drool. Sticking to it is contaminated with meat flavor, which makes it feel excellent, and because of the moisture in the meat during steaming, the rice is washed away, which increases the taste. Rice flour meat is half full, and the meat sticks fat but not greasy; Steaming on the rice paste absorbs the natural rice fragrance. A bite of meat, a sticky one, is rare.
There are many innovative ways to rely on sticky lifting, such as fried food. It is a pleasure for Shaowu people living abroad. Frozen with sticky, brought back, sliced and fried when necessary, fried into hot pot, cooked or fried like ginkgo ... Although it is not so pleasant to eat with original sauce, it is also a rare beauty in a foreign land.
When it comes to Shaowu snacks, you have to mention peppers. Shaowu is located in a mountainous area with a cold climate. Anyone born and raised in Shaowu is an expert in spicy food. Outsiders will be assimilated even if they stay in Shaowu for a long time. Because of the terrain and climate, the local peppers are different from those in other places and taste very sweet. After harvesting peppers, Shao Wuren started with green peppers, fried them with vegetables, and made chopped peppers, powder and slices with red peppers. In Shaowu, pepper is an essential seasoning in the kitchen, similar to sugar in Fuzhou. In addition to salt and chicken essence, every household's seasoning jar must be pepper.
Shao Wuren is good at drying vegetables and making them into various flavors. It is common to cook broad beans, remove the head and tail, wash them, put them in a pot, cook them with salt, dry them in the sun and keep them in a jar. Chew twice when you want to eat, and the salty or wet bean flavor overflows from your lips. . . Hmm. . .
Another most common one is "soaking radish seeds", which can be seen in various vegetable markets or supermarkets. It is Shao Wuren's classic side dish with porridge. The radish is dried and cut into strips. Add dried red pepper, soak it in rice wine, add salt, open it ten days later, and you can eat it. The pot is full of fragrance, the rice wine is slightly red, and there is a radish stick in it, which squeaks. .
