The northeast is called big cake, and its scientific name is fried dumpling. A kilo of corn flour, three or two bean noodles, and a little baking soda. Half of the cornmeal is scalded with eight-separated water, stirred with chopsticks, aired for a while, added with bean flour and baking soda, and kneaded evenly, until the flour is hard and soft. Heat the iron pot with water, hold a small dough in your hand, and stick it on the inside of the pot alternately in the shape of a football. Stick it on the pot one by one, and cover the lid tightly, so as not to fall into the water. Adjust it to medium-low heat, or it will burn the pot. Boil until it is ripe for 25-30 minutes. When cooking, put a pan in the pan and grab it with a spatula to prevent it from falling into the water. This is the big cake in the northeast.
