Sesame is called the crown of eight grains and has high economic value. Of course, it is more included in China's food recipes, and everyone should be most familiar with sesame oil, sesame paste and sesame paste.
Sesame leaves are rich in oil, fragrant, unique in taste and slightly bitter in aftertaste. But even so, I still can't resist the enthusiasm of Nanyang people. There are three main ways to make sesame leaves.
Fresh sesame leaf noodles taste mellow.
Fresh sesame leaves are carefully washed and blanched in boiling hot water to remove a little greasy taste and retain the most natural taste. Then add some seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic and pepper to the pot and stir-fry for two minutes. Put the handmade noodles in a soup pot and cook them until they are 90% cooked. Add the fried sesame leaves, add seasoning to taste, and continue to cook for about three minutes. Let the fragrance of sesame leaves be completely integrated into noodles and soup, so that sesame leaves mixed noodles are more fresh and fragrant, and the pure natural taste of sesame leaves is retained, which makes sesame more mellow and appetizing.
Pickled sesame leaf noodles are more delicious.
With the continuous growth, fresh sesame leaves have gradually withered and aged, hanging on heavy sesame stalks, but foodies are still reluctant to let go of such delicacies. In the leisure afternoon, taking a basket or a laundry list means picking sesame leaves in the field.
Take semi-mature and immature sesame leaves, boil water in a pot and cook until soft, which takes about five minutes. If the time is too long, the inherent fragrance of sesame leaves will be lost. The main purpose is to clean and disinfect, and then put sesame leaves in a mud pot or soup pot to prepare for pickling. Pickled ingredients are different, depending on personal wishes. It is this unique pickling method that makes every family taste different.
Pickled sesame leaves are directly put into the cooked handmade noodles, and a portion of sesame leaf miscellaneous noodles is ready.
The greatest pleasure of rural life is to give each other pickled sesame leaves. Today, his family pickled them early and could eat them. He took out a bowl and shared it with his neighbors. Your family has finished eating tomorrow, just like mine has not finished eating. Send a bowl to eat. During that time, I really had a good time for a change every day.
Ground sesame leaves and noodles can be eaten directly.
The soon-to-mature sesame has had enough of cutting meat with a blunt knife. In order to mature, it can't wait for all the leaves to wither, leaving only the heavy ears of sesame leaves, which seems to be enjoying the joy of liberation. But the foodies didn't give them a chance at all. In the last period of time before the sesame seeds matured, the foodies carrying sacks had gone to the sesame fields.
Picking satisfactory sesame leaves and returning with a full load, put the sesame leaves on a clean pot cover and wait for the sun to expose them. When the sesame leaves lose all moisture, the processing of sesame leaves also reaches the final step-rolling them up, rubbing the dried sesame leaves into pieces, removing all remaining leaf stalks, and screening the fine sesame leaf powder through coarse reeds. When you want to eat, you can make a bowl of sesame leaf noodles with wheat flour and flour. All the flavors are in the noodles. It's really delicious.
Nowadays, people seldom eat sesame leaf mixed noodles, and the old people in the village eat more. After all, sesame leaves taste really bad. When I was a child, I often listened to my grandparents telling me about the life of the previous generation. No steamed bread, no wheat flour, only corn flour, sweet potato flour and bean flour are luxury goods. There are no vegetables, so we can only eat wild vegetables. Sesame leaves are already very good, and the next bowl of noodles is delicious, which can be regarded as one of the few life improvements in a year.
Listening to the story of the previous generation, I was forced to eat when I was a child. My family has a good name: Remember that painful experiences will make you live hard. Now that life is rich, the stories of the previous generation can no longer be heard, and there is less nagging and more recollection.
