There is an old saying that you will not get sick if you eat moxa rice before and after Qingming Festival. What should you do with moxa rice? Tomb Sweeping Day is coming soon. I heard that people eat mugwort green dumplings during Qingming Festival. How do you make it?

April 5 of the Gregorian calendar every year is our traditional Chinese Tomb-Sweeping Festival. In addition to sweeping the tombs of martyrs and paying homage to ancestors, Tomb-Sweeping Day. Its food customs and delicacies are also rich and colorful.

First, eating habits vary from place to place. Mugwort glutinous rice cake is a must-have traditional food for Hakka people in Guangdong during Qingming Festival.

Secondly, Qingming Festival is a festival for the whole family to reunite. We not only eat mugwort glutinous rice cakes, but also cook many nutritious and fragrant delicacies, including killing chickens, ducks, geese, braised pork, Chicken soup with mugwort, big fish, authentic Hakka stuffed tofu, stuffed bitter melon, authentic Hakka pig head balls, fish balls, Hakka yuba, Hakka stir-fried chicken with glutinous rice and sweet wine, etc... Lots of delicious food!

Third, how to make moxa leaf glutinous rice cake? If you want to eat mugwort glutinous rice cakes with peace of mind, it is best to use mugwort grown at home. The tenderest mugwort leaves on top are the most delicious and not bitter.

If you don’t grow mugwort at home, you can buy it in the market. If you don’t know mugwort, don’t pick it randomly. Don’t just go to the farmland and pick it randomly, because you don’t know if others have picked it. Pesticides, safety first.

Fourth, pick young mugwort and make glutinous rice cookies. Add 8 taels of sugar to a pound of glutinous rice flour to make it sweeter. For one pound of glutinous rice flour, half a pound of tender mugwort leaves is enough. Don’t put too much, just the right amount.

Wash the picked young mugwort leaves, boil them in boiling water and scald them. Pick it up and chop it into pieces. Use the boiled mugwort water, chopped mugwort leaves and glutinous rice flour to make glutinous rice balls. After dividing the dumplings, you can put your favorite fillings into the glutinous rice dumplings. For example, fried peanuts, sesame seeds, sugar, winter melon strips, etc. The prepared moxa leaf glutinous rice dumplings can also be wrapped one by one in rice dumpling leaves and steamed in a pot. You can also brush a small amount of oil on the steamer and steam them directly. When making glutinous rice cakes, put some peanut oil in the glutinous rice dumplings to prevent them from sticking. Hand, steam for 20 minutes and ready to eat.
