Since ancient times, Maoming, a city in western Guangdong, has been famous for its rich production of lychees, longans and other fruits, as well as many delicious snacks. Among them, glutinous rice cake (pronounced the same as @ in the email address in Western Cantonese dialect) is one of the specialty delicacies, and there are many varieties: longevity peach cake, boiled soup cake, sugar heart cake.

It’s hot in summer, and the best thing to eat is a smooth and refreshing dustpan. You won’t get tired of it even if you eat too much!

Trash cans, also called dustpan boils and dustpan lids, as the name suggests, are small round dustpans (also called "covers") made of bamboo strips (now many are made of tin or aluminum). Layer rice soup on top and cook. The specific method is also very simple, that is, select fine and good rice, and then grind it into very fine rice flour (in ancient times, it was used

Then cook the rice, set up a large pot, add an appropriate amount of water, turn on the fire, etc. Bring the water to a boil, add a small wooden stand to the large pot to separate the small dustpan from the water, then pour a layer of rice washing water on the small dustpan, cover it, cook for a while, open it again, and pour another layer of rice washing water , repeat several times until the dustpan is full, the last layer can be sprinkled with pre-fried peanuts and sesame seeds, and then cooked.

A good dustpan cook is like a round white pancake. It is cooked with rice and water layer by layer, so when you cut it, you can see the structure layer by layer.

When eating, use a small sickle-like blade to cut the dustpan into small pieces. Appropriate small cubes, then dip them in soy sauce or drizzle with freshly burned sesame oil (the sesame oil can be prepared by adding golden peanut oil, green leeks, garlic, soy sauce, salt, etc.), and stir well before eating! You can also heat the sesame oil back into the pot, then put the dustpan directly into the hot oil and fry it until golden. It has another taste that makes people drool!

The dustpan is not only simple, but also delicious. It is suitable for all ages. It has a smooth taste and is suitable for all seasons. It used to be made in every household, but now it is easily available in the market.

If you have the opportunity to come to Maoming, you might as well come and try it, including your delicious food and taste! Haha~~~

After writing this, I felt even hungrier, and the memories drifted back to the kitchen when I was a child~ ~The afterglow of the setting sun was scattered on the stove, my mother was busy, and we raised our little heads. Watching the dustpan in the pot cooking layer by layer, imagining the instant satisfaction in the mouth...

Sometimes, food is not only a kind of delicacy, but also a kind of nostalgia!
