Sesame is called the crown of eight grains and has high economic value. Of course, it is more included in China's gourmet recipes, and the most familiar ones should be sesame oil, sesame paste and sesame paste.
Sesame leaves are rich in oil, fragrant, unique in taste and slightly bitter in aftertaste. But even so, I still can't resist the enthusiasm of Nanyang people. There are three main methods for sesame leaf surface.
Fresh sesame leaf noodles taste mellow.
Fresh sesame leaves are carefully washed and blanched in boiling hot water, which removes a little greasy taste and retains the most natural taste. Then add appropriate amount of onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and other spices to the pot and stir-fry for two minutes. Put the handmade noodles in the soup pot and cook until they are 90% cooked. Add the fried sesame leaves, add seasoning to taste, and continue to cook for about three minutes. Let the flavor of sesame leaves be completely integrated into noodles and soup, make sesame leaf miscellaneous noodles more fresh and fragrant, keep the pure natural taste of sesame, and make sesame more mellow and appetizing.
Pickled sesame leaves are better.
With the continuous growth, fresh sesame leaves have gradually withered and aged, hanging on heavy sesame stalks, but foodies still don't want to let go of such delicious food. In the afternoon of leisure, taking a basket or a laundry list is to pick up sesame leaves in the field.
Take semi-mature and immature sesame leaves, boil water in a pot and cook until soft, which takes about five minutes. If the time is too long, the inherent fragrance of sesame leaves will be lost. Mainly cleaning and disinfecting, and then putting sesame leaves into a clay pot or soup pot to prepare for pickling. Pickled ingredients are different, depending on personal wishes. It is this unique pickling method that makes every family taste different.
Pickled sesame leaves are directly put into the cooked handmade noodles, and a sesame leaf mixed noodles is ready.
The greatest pleasure of rural life is to give each other pickled sesame leaves. Today, his family pickled them early and could eat them. He took out a bowl and shared it with his neighbors. Your family has finished eating tomorrow, just like mine has not finished eating. Send a bowl to eat. During that time, I really ate every day for a change and had a good time.
Ground sesame leaves and noodles are more direct to eat.
Sesame, which is about to mature, has had enough life of cutting meat with a blunt knife. In order to mature, it can't wait to turn all its leaves yellow, leaving only the heavy ears of sesame leaves, as if enjoying the joy of liberation. But the foodies didn't give them a chance at all, and in the last period of time before the sesame was ripe, the foodies carrying sacks had gone to the sesame field.
Picking satisfactory sesame leaves and returning with a full load, put the sesame leaves on a clean pot cover and wait for the sun to expose them. When the sesame leaves lose all the moisture, the processing of the sesame leaves comes to the last step-kneading them, grinding the dried sesame leaves into pieces, removing all the remaining petioles, and screening out the fine sesame leaf powder through rough reeds. When you want to eat, you can make a bowl of sesame leaf noodles with wheat flour and flour. All the flavors are in the noodles. It's really delicious.
Nowadays, people seldom eat sesame leaf mixed noodles, but the old people in the village eat more. After all, sesame leaves taste really bad. When I was a child, I often listened to my grandparents telling me about the life of the previous generation. No steamed bread, no wheat flour, only corn flour, sweet potato flour and soybean flour are luxury goods. No vegetables, only wild vegetables. Sesame leaves are already very good, and the next bowl of noodles is delicious, which is one of the few improvements in life in the past year.
Listening to the story of the previous generation, I was forced to eat when I was a child. My family euphemistically calls it: recalling bitter experiences makes you try a hard life. Now that life is rich, the stories of the previous generation can no longer be heard, with less nagging and more reminiscing.
