Helengzi is a popular delicacy in the mountainous area of Lvliang, Shanxi, and it is one of the top ten traditional snacks in Shanxi. The main ingredient is potato, which is mainly made by cooking in a pot.

How to make it

The raw materials of Helingzi are simple and cheap, but the method is very complicated, so the delicacy of this dish depends on the chef's kung fu. Choose good potatoes, wash and peel them, rub them into small pieces with a squeegee, mash them with a rolling pin, and then steam them in a pot. Remember, when steaming in the pot, you must put a layer of cage cloth under the potatoes.

so as not to lift it after steaming, and it can only be steamed twice, and it will lose its elasticity after steaming. After steaming, take it out of the pot, hold a cage cloth in your hand, pick a piece of mashed potatoes with a spoon, about the size of an egg, put it in the middle of the cage cloth, then close the cage cloth and squeeze the cage cloth from top to bottom, so that the water in the mashed potatoes in the cage cloth is squeezed out, and the mashed potatoes become compact and spherical.

You must squeeze the cage cloth hard. The more water you squeeze out, the more delicious the "closed stare blankly" you make. After making the mashed potatoes into balls, steam them in the pot. I saw that the grates were full of white and round "closed stare blankly". After steaming for 2 minutes, the "closed stare blankly" was ripe.
