Gourmet:

Youdun in Lili

Youdun is a famous Lili snack. It is golden in color and looks like a paper lantern with three waists. Its texture is crisp outside and soft inside, and it tastes delicious, mellow and refreshing.

In my memory, the prestige in the early morning woke up the willow trees by the lake, and the wooden door of the facade house in the old street was removed. The steaming oil pier had long been lying quietly beside the dark flat pot, waiting for customers to enjoy it. Next to them, their brothers and sisters have big cakes and strips, still waiting for arrival in the pot and oven.

It is said that once again, Emperor Qianlong passed by Wujiang and continued his south tour to Zhejiang. The dragon boat went to a very wide water area, only to see an enemy tower looming in the fog ahead, which was better than Yuyuqiong Tower in fairyland. Gan Long was surprised and asked, "What is this place?" The local official told the emperor, "This is Tangjiahu, and there is an island named Shengdun in the lake. There is a tall enemy building on this island called Tunhai Building. " Originally, the dragon boat was going to stop at Pingwang for dinner for the night, but I was lost and hungry all night. At this time, a group of people found a temple on the island in the middle of the lake. I'm afraid this temple has been neglected for a long time. The abbot had to ask the monk to burn the fire to wrap the bean paste with glutinous rice flour, knead it into balls, put it in an oil pan to cook it into snacks, and crustily skin of head served it up. After eating, Qianlong was very appreciative and asked the courtiers, "What's the name of this thing?" The courtiers did not know, so they asked the abbot at once. The abbot had to tell the truth: "This is the first time to make this cake, and there is no name yet." When Qianlong saw what he had eaten, it was round and flat, just like the pudun in front of the Bodhisattva incense table in the hall. He smiled and said, "This thing is really like a pudun in an oil pan, so call it an oil pier."

Method of making

First, put the yeast, alum and soda ash into a basin, add 35g of clear water to dissolve them, then add flour and knead them evenly, sprinkle 25g of clear water for 15 minutes, and knead them repeatedly until they are smooth and not sticky, then let them ferment until the dough bubbles. Then, put the pan on a strong fire, pour sesame oil (the oil level in the pan is not more than half of the height of the oil pier), and when the oil is burned to 7% maturity, use bamboo chopsticks to make it with both hands, that is, pick a little noodle from the chopsticks held in the left hand, take up refined salt and chopped green onion, scrape it flat with the bamboo chopsticks in the right hand, and along the edge of the basin, two bamboo chopsticks are rolled into the noodle and twisted for 3 times to break the noodle. Then, the right hand shakes the chopsticks into a round cylinder with a diameter of about 17 cm, puts the surface of the left hand chopsticks on the right chopsticks to make a light-like pier, and puts it into the pot for frying along the edge of the pot. Pick out the pots one by one according to this method. When the oil pier floats yellow, turn it over and fry it again. When both sides are golden yellow, take out the pot.

If you want to make a sweet and delicious oil pier, you should pay special attention to some details in the process of making it: 1. When making a dough pier, you should use ingenuity and use two chopsticks freely to make it look beautiful; 2. The oil in the pot is moderate, and it is advisable to fry half and half, and fry both sides until cooked.

there are usually two kinds of oil piers: bean paste stuffing and meat stuffing. Add lard, sugar, pine nuts and sweet-scented osmanthus into the stuffing. This kind of oil pier has a very strong fragrance, which is not only soft and sweet, but also fragrant, and the fairy will not let go after eating it.

In today's Lili, oil pier, an ancient snack, still occupies an important position in the hearts of people in the town. There are still shops selling oil piers at the entrance of Lili food market from 5: every morning until noon. In Lili, the snacks that people can remember are not only spicy chicken feet, but also the native, golden, steaming and fragrant Lili oil pier.

Sleeve sleeve in Lili

Sleeve sleeve is a specialty of Lili, which is famous for its delicious taste. The fragrant and tender sausage was made by the perfect combination of material selection, cleaning, sausage casing, cooking and slicing. After completion, pour chopped green onion and seasoning soy sauce. The sleeve is cut into a finger-wide piece, and the circles inside are immediately displayed in front of you. The white and pink sleeve is immediately stereoscopic against the background of chopped green onion and soy sauce, and gently bitten off. The tender and incomparable large intestine reveals a refreshing fragrance and elasticity.
