Lazy Dragon is a noodle dish similar to Hanamaki.
Folklorists said that according to the custom of old Beijing, one should eat "lazy dragon" on the day of the Waking of Insects. But now many young people no longer pay attention to these. Cui Puquan, a well-known Beijing folklore expert, said that the custom of eating "lazy dragon" on the day of the Jingzhe has been around for a long time.
Lazy dragon, as the name suggests, is something lazy people do to save trouble, but it is not easy to do it. It's just that for those who eat, there is no need to cook. Meat and pasta are already available, and boiling some white rice porridge is a complete meal.
Lazy Dragon is the name of old Beijing. In fact, it is what people often call meat dragon, meat roll. Because it looks like a lazy dragon entrenched in a steamer, it is called the lazy dragon. The lazy dragon is made of yeast dough and is very soft. The meat filling can be pork filling or beef filling. The traditional lazy dragon is stuffed with pork and green onions. When I ate my first meal, it tasted so delicious!
But when I ate the second meal, the gravy and green onion juice were absorbed by the noodles, so the taste was no longer so "juicy". Now my family has slightly adjusted this method and replaced the green onions with onions with more moisture.
When you eat it this way, it is not only more nutritious, but also more delicious in taste, and the onions are cut into small pieces and have a sweet and crunchy texture when you eat them. Lazy dragon can be said to be a lazy person's delicacy, with meat fillings and onions rolled inside.
