How to make corn cakes that are fragrant, glutinous and not hard even when cold, so my husband can’t stop eating them one bite at a time?
I haven’t finished eating the corn that my mother broke. Yesterday my father-in-law brought me a sack of sweet corn. Ha, I love it so much!
I just saw a new way to eat corn a few days ago. There is no need to knead the dough or ferment it, just mix it.
I tried making it today without adding any sugar. It’s so sweet!
It’s sticky, so delicious, and the recipe is quite simple!
Look, the bottom of a sack of corn will be visible in 3 days!
Post it on WeChat Moments and let everyone guess what it is.
Conclusion, 9 out of 10 individuals are unclear, hehe!
I heard that this is called corn, or corn poop.
I am a northerner from the coastal area, and this is the first time I have seen this method of eating.
I searched and found that poop means a cake-shaped object, which is similar to corn tortillas, just like the corn buns we have here.
However, it seems to be said on the Internet that corn poop leaves are not from the northern region, but are strictly speaking a specialty delicacy in Yunnan.
There are various ways to make it online, including baking powder, adding sugar, scallions, frying, and steaming. It is a new popular snack nowadays.
Mine is very simple and the most original. The main ingredients are only sweet corn and rice flour. In addition, I add a few red dates to make it richer in taste!
Raw materials: 3 sweet corns, appropriate amount of rice flour, multiple red dates. Method: The first step is to grate the fresh corn into crumbs. This method is very good. It is more convenient than breaking it off in rows and then grinding it. Use larger ones.
The holes can be used to keep the granularity more delicious.
In the second step, remove the outer yellow leaves of the corn leaves and leave a few clean ones for later use.
I use sweet corn, which I grew at home. I just brought it home and it has a lot of water.
If it is waxy corn, it is likely that the moisture content will be less.
The third step is to peel the red dates with a knife and chop them into small pieces.
If you don’t have red dates, just skip it, and simple corn poop will be just as delicious.
Add appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and chopped red dates to the corn foam and mix well.
If it is sweet corn, there is more juice, and there will be a little more rice flour. If it is a juice scoop, there will be a little less rice flour.
The fourth step will probably be so viscous in the end, and the whole process requires no hands, no need to knead the dough or anything.
Spoon the corn paste onto the corn leaves. If there is just as much as one red date, put it on top and decorate it. Wouldn’t it look better?
Turn over any unnecessary corn leaves and cover them with the polenta.
Corn leaves are anti-stick and fragrant, and can also prevent water seepage, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, if you cut off the corn leaves, it doesn't matter if it is not covered, it will look like a small boat.
I steamed it with an all-in-one steamer and griller, and it took about 25 minutes.
The same goes for stainless steel steamers. If measured based on the water boiling, it is probably 20 minutes.
