Ping-pong fruit is a mistake of "Penang fruit". Because it is easy to call and remember, it has been inherited as a traditional snack in Jieyang. In 1997, it was recognized as the first "Chinese famous snack" in China.

according to legend, at the end of the southern song dynasty, in order to avoid war and resist hunger, people in Jieyang made glutinous rice by grinding it into glutinous rice. Because of its special flavor, the rat's wort is very popular, and then it is a traditional snack in Chaoshan to make the unique flavor of Penang nut

Ping-pong fruit by using Penang nut powder (fried rice flour) as fruit stuffing. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid war and resist hunger, Jieyang County made rat qu _ by mixing rat qu with glutinous rice and grinding it into glutinous powder. Because of the fragrance of the rat's wort, this product is popular, and then it is made of Penang bran as stuffing.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became famous in Chaozhou and spread abroad. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a master surnamed Li at the south gate of Jieyang County, who specialized in Penang. He not only kept the original flavor characteristics, but also printed patterns on the products with wooden patterns and tofu film as the bottom. After cooking, he coated the products with a thin layer of peanut oil, making Penang more popular.

In the early 195s, when foreigners bought Penang _ in Jieyang, the misconception of Ping-Pong _ was handed down.

In the traditional method, the skin should be made of the first-class glutinous rice flour, and a proper amount of peanut oil should be mixed repeatedly to form a thick mud. _ The stuffing is mainly made of Penang bran, with cooked sugar, chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, orange cake, etc. When making, first take a small piece of blank, knead it into a round slice, put in a proper amount of stuffing, knead it into a round shape, then print the pattern with a wooden mold or a ceramic mold, take the tofu film as the bottom, steam and dry it, and ping-pong will have the advantages of clear and soft appearance and crispy and sweet inside.

When eating, it is generally necessary to steam again and fry it with thick _ slow fire to make it crispy and soft.

Penang tree is derived from the mouse. The so-called _ _ _ refers to the fact that its stuffing is made of betel nuts. Penang bran is named after baking glutinous rice with charcoal fire or frying it in a sealed tin can, and then grinding it into powder after baking.

there is a legendary story about the formation and development of Penang _, a traditional snack —— a legendary story about Huang Qiyu, the sage of Jieyang, and Penang _ at the end of Ming Dynasty.

Huang Qiyu (1599-1666) was born in Guangmei Village, Yuhu, Jieyang. In the eighth year of tomorrow, the Jinshi of Wuchen, recommended by Guo Zhiqi, Song Zhao _, Haiyang Guchao, Rao Pingliang, Ying Long, Yang Rensi, and Puning Chen, are called "the seven sages after Chaozhou". Huang Qiyu successively served as the magistrate of Gu 'an County, the magistrate of Dong 'an County, the editor of Hanlin Academy, the left assistant minister of Ritual Department, and the minister of Ritual Department, and served as an official at the banquet. When the Ming dynasty was about to be destroyed, he knew that there was nothing he could do, and he quickly went up and down, and "the bones returned."

After Huang Qiyu returned to his hometown of Guangmei Village, Yuhu, Jieyang, Du Men stayed at home, calling himself a layman in the Green Garden, and devoted himself to landscapes and poetry. He is the author of Poems and Grass in Green Garden and Collected Works of Pingzhai, but he lost his life at the end of Fu Zi. At present, there are only one article "The Six Pagodas of Han Dynasty" and one poem "Passing through the Old Pavilion" recorded in Jieyang County Records:

A fireworks field in the past, walking around with a stick.

the mountain is still fresh, and the water is leisurely.

cool air invades the river and the moon, and the breeze enters Gu Lou.

now that the gun is mixed, the scenery is quiet.

according to legend, after tasting the rat _ _ made by his family in his hometown, Huang Qiyu had a brainstorm, improved the original skin and stuffing, changed the Jieyang rat _ _ into the current Penang _ _, and spread it from home to shops and inns, and the demand was in short supply.

after a long historical process, the pastry chefs in Penang have constantly improved and changed the crust and stuffing, so that Penang has constantly adapted to the needs of the times and the people's material level. In 198, Jieyang Ping-pong crossed the Yangtze River and went to Beijing to participate in the national famous brand snack exhibition sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce. Now, Jieyang table tennis produced by Hongzhi Food Factory in Jiedong County, Jieyang City has been improved into a variety of Chaoshan gourmet gift boxes with low sugar, fragrance, vacuum packaging and portability. In December, 1997, China Cuisine Association held the first national recognition meeting of Chinese famous snacks in Hangzhou, and Jieyang Ping-Pong _ produced by Jiedong Hongzhi Food Industry Co., Ltd. was awarded as "Chinese famous snacks". The following year, the first Chaoshan Food Festival in Jieyang gave Ping-pong _ (Jiedong Hongzhi Food Co., Ltd.) the honorary title of "Top Ten Chaoshan Snacks", ranking it at the top of the "Top Ten".

why is Penang _ also called table tennis _? There are two sayings: First, when making bran from betel nut, glutinous rice is stir-fried in a tripod or thermally expanded in a furnace, making a "split racket" sound, just like the sound of playing table tennis, so it is renamed table tennis. Another argument is that when foreigners bought Penang _ in Jieyang, they mistakenly thought it was "Ping Pong _" and passed it down. In 1956, "Penang _" produced by Jieyang catering industry was sent to hotels, inns, docks and stations by special personnel every day for promotion. However, "Penang _" Jieyang people have difficulty in pronouncing the pronunciation, and it is even more difficult to pronounce and make people listen accurately when dealing with foreign customers. In a business, a foreign customer asked the salesman, "What did you say it was called?"? Is it called' Ping Pong _'? " Because "Penang _" and "Ping Pong _" are similar in pronunciation, at that time, the salesman said by mistake, "Yes, it's called Ping Pong _".

Because it's easier and smoother to call "Ping Pong _" than "Penang _", people changed "Penang _" to "Ping Pong _" within a few days.

Penang _ "The skin is soft, and the stuffing is crispy and sweet", which comes from "Ping Pong bran", that is, the bran powder made by repeatedly baking glutinous rice in a tripod with shells, so that it explodes. Because glutinous rice can produce a special grain fragrance after baking, it is this fragrance that forms the attractive characteristics of Jieyang table tennis.

The method of Chaoshan Penang _ is as follows:

(1) Glutinous rice flour is mixed with proper amount of peanut oil, and repeatedly kneaded into a muddy dough to be used as skin;

(2) stir-fry or stir-fry the glutinous rice in a pan, bake it (glutinous rice with shells), then grind the baked glutinous rice with shells into powder, add sugar powder, chopped cooked peanuts, fried sesame seeds and orange cakes, and mix them into stuffing;

(3) Take a small piece from the "glutinous rice paste" ball, press it into a thin round piece, and wrap it with stuffing (the best thing is to cut it into patterns with orange cakes, melon slices, plums and glass meat, stick a coriander leaf on the stuffing surface, which is red and green, and it can be seen through the translucent tree skin, which is very elegant.

When eating, you usually need to steam or fry with thick fire to make it crispy and soft.
