Practice of steaming lotus root pills

Steamed lotus root pills are new, and the recipe is provided by a famous local chef in Poyang Lake. Steamed lotus root pill is a special dish in Poyang Lake area, which has been listed as a branch of Gancai. Here, please allow me to introduce "Rao Bangcai" with some pen and ink. Raobang cuisine is Shangrao cuisine, which is the hometown of movie star Chen Hong. Raobang cuisine, centered on ancient Xinzhou, is divided into Hengfeng, Lead Mountain, Guangfeng, Yiyang, Yugan, Poyang and other schools. Together with Nanchang cuisine, Xunyang cuisine and Ganzhou cuisine, it constitutes the traditional Jiangxi cuisine. Raobang cuisine emphasizes "original flavor" in cooking, and cooking is mainly based on burning, stewing, stewing, steaming and frying. The flavor tends to be fresh and spicy, and steamed lotus root pill is a member of Poyang school and my hometown dish.

Lotus root originated in India and was later introduced to China. It can be eaten raw or cooked. Raw lotus root, cold in nature, has the effect of clearing heat and moistening lung; Cooked lotus root, warm in nature, can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. Steamed lotus root pill is a special dish in Poyang Lake area, belonging to Poyang School, a branch of Gancai. Steamed lotus root pills pay attention to the original flavor, and other flavors such as meat and potato powder cannot surpass the lotus root flavor.

The key to making steamed lotus root pills is to choose suitable tools and lotus roots. The tool for grinding lotus root is a special small-eye fruit planer, and the lotus root should be powdered. The quality of lotus root produced in Poyang Lake is excellent, which may be the main reason why steamed lotus root pills can become a local specialty.

This kind of small-eye lotus root planer with rustic appearance is generally difficult to sell in large supermarkets. I found it in the local market.

1. Wash and peel lotus root, put it on a small iron sieve and grind it into powder, chop pork belly into the finest dices, soak dried seaweed in warm water for 2 minutes, then drain and chop, and cut onion into chopped green onion for later use.

2. Mix chopped lotus root with diced meat, and season with a little salt first (because dried seaweed is salty).

3. Put the shredded seaweed and sweet potato powder together and mix well. At this time, add some salt to taste.

4. Take a pinch of ping-pong ball-sized material, put it in the palm of your hand and shake it in the same direction to shake out a round lotus root pill.

5. First put a green leaf in a small steamer and put the lotus root pill on the green leaf. (It is recommended to steam with green leaves) Lotus leaves or Indocalamus leaves.

6. Boil the water in the steamer with high fire, put it in a small steamer, and steam on medium fire 10- 15 minutes.
