My hometown is in Huai 'an, and there is a snack called "lotus root cake". It makes my mouth water when I think about it.
The practice of lotus root cake is more complicated. First, prepare the materials: Step 1, chop the leek, ginger and meat and mix in a little soy sauce; Then put the beaten eggs into a pot and fry them into egg skins, and cut them into pieces after frying. The second step is to remove the knots from the bought lotus root, then wash it, put a layer of salt on it and leave it there to soften, so that the lotus root is easy to cut and delicious. The next and most crucial step: cut the lotus root into two layers of connected pieces, being careful not to cut it. About 2/3 when cutting the first knife, it will be completely cut when cutting the second knife, so that the stuffing can be stuffed inside.
After finishing the preparation, pour the prepared Jiang Mo, minced leek and minced meat into the pot and fry until cooked, then add the broken egg skin and stir well, and the filling is ready. Then pour the oil into the pan and heat it, while stirring the flour and water into a batter, filling it in the middle of the lotus root slices, then soaking the filled lotus root in the batter and frying it in a hot oil pan. When it turns golden yellow, take out and drain the oil, and the delicious lotus root cake is ready.
Lotus root cake looks really attractive, and the golden skin makes people can't help but take a bite! You can smell it from a distance. The smell of lotus root cake is very different, which makes people drool. I want to go up and swallow it right away!
Eating lotus root cakes is also very interesting. When you take a bite, the golden coat outside will be bitten off with a "scratch", followed by the smell of oily oil in the mouth, but the lotus root cake is oily but not greasy. Take a bite, and a lotus root fragrance comes out again. Lotus root tastes a little sweet! Finally, the delicious stuffing. After eating a mouthful of lotus root cake, the whole person's mood has changed, and he wants to eat another piece after eating. Although the lotus root cake is smaller than the moon cake, it tastes no worse than the moon cake.
