Although the ingredients in ancient times were scarce and the varieties were far less abundant than those in modern times, there were still many snacks in ancient times, which can still be seen in daily life today.
mung bean cake is a memory of my childhood, and it is also one of my favorite desserts until today. But many people don't know that mung bean cake is a dessert invented by the ancients. On the basis of the original production process, modern people have improved it and now people often eat mung bean cake. Mung bean cake is very delicious, and the process of making it is not difficult. Sieve mung bean powder, steam it for 3 minutes on medium fire, add soft sugar and mix well, add sesame oil and olive oil and mix well, add cold boiled water after sieving, steam it in a steamer for 15 minutes until it is not hot, flatten 2 grams of mung bean flour, wrap 1 grams of red bean paste in it, roll it, press it flat, and release it after inversion.
Another favorite snack of the ancients is Sugar-Coated Berry, also known as candied haws in Sugar-Coated Berry, candied duner in Tianjin and candied balls in Fengyang, Anhui. Since the Song Dynasty, eating Sugar-Coated Berry has become a snack for all ages, and now Sugar-Coated Berry has become a traditional snack, with teahouses, theaters and streets everywhere. "The Year of Yanjing" records: Sugar-Coated Berry used a bamboo stick, which was permeated with hawthorn, begonia fruit, grapes, yam, walnut kernel, red bean paste, etc., and dipped in rock sugar, which was sweet, crisp and cold. Sugar-Coated Berry has the functions of appetizing, caring skin, increasing intelligence, relieving fatigue and clearing away heat. ?
In addition to mung bean cake and Sugar-Coated Berry, there is also Longxusu Osmanthus Jelly, which was once the favorite food of the ancients. Up to now, we can still see them in the streets.
