I always feel that eating a big breakfast in the morning is a very happy thing, which gives me the motivation to get up early. I can proudly say: as a post-90s generation, the habit of getting up at 6 o'clock every day is to have breakfast. In particular, controlling dinner, falling asleep with a slight hunger, waking up for food, eating a rich breakfast and starting a day's work, that kind of happiness and satisfaction can sweep away thousands of unhappiness.
Due to work and other reasons, many people choose to ignore breakfast, skip breakfast or wolf down their food. But as a foodie, breakfast is the last thing I care about. Even when I lose weight, I should have a good breakfast, which is probably related to my eating habits since childhood.
In primary school, you need to go to school for morning reading and Chinese or math classes at 6 am, because it is in the countryside and the school is less than one kilometer away from home. After two classes, it's 8 o'clock. When it's time for breakfast, I'll go home for dinner. My home is at the last edge of the village, and I have to go through the whole village to get home from school. So in those years, I walked from one home to another with a kitchen smoke, and sometimes I met a classmate with fast legs. On arriving at his door, you can see him and his parents squatting at the door with a bowl of rice and eating breakfast with relish. Old people like to be lively. They like to get together or stand or squat to eat. They can eat while chatting. If their breakfast is not to their liking, they can also go to the neighbor's kitchen and bring a bowl. Some aunts even have a very good relationship, and they will make an appointment to cook different breakfasts the next day, so that the two families can eat two kinds of breakfasts. Children are naturally curious about everything. I will not only eavesdrop on what they are saying, but also prick up my ears to find what I am interested in. I will also observe what they eat at home. When I saw something delicious and greedy, I went home and let my mother cook it. What my mother won't do will be asked for advice when we get together for breakfast. So, in those years, I ate all kinds of breakfasts.
Hometown people have a deep obsession with three meals a day, knowing that rice is hard-won by farming in person and it is a sin not to eat it. Eat three meals a day well, and breakfast is an extremely important meal as the opening remarks of a beautiful day.
After growing up, I have been to many places and eaten many local characteristics, but what I miss most is breakfast in my hometown.
Northerners can't live without pasta, and natural breakfast is no exception. Today, let's introduce what we usually have for breakfast and see which one can cure the stomach in a foreign country.
staple
Hongpianzi noodles crispy rice
That's what the dialect calls it. I really don't know what the scientific name is. It is made by cutting white and red taro into pieces, drying it and grinding it into powder, kneading it into small balls with both hands, kneading it into balls with the palm of your hand, making it into round cakes and steaming it in a pot. This kind of coarse grain powder is different from sweet potato starch. It retains the fragrance, sweetness and waxy taste of sweet potato, so the dough is very sticky, so it can't be rolled with a rolling pin, so it has to be rolled flat by hand. Because it is coarse grains, it is very hungry and full.
Steamed corn bread
Wowotou here is different from that of the northeast people. The raw materials of the Wowotou here are the same as those of the red rice crust above, but they are different in shape and taste. The round hole in the middle is used for dipping sauce, soy sauce or Chili sauce. The sweetness of the sweet potato powder matches the salty taste of the dip, and the salty taste is moderate, and it doesn't feel against it at all. Now you can often hear vendors selling "Wowotou dipped in Chili!" A dollar, not delicious, no money! "
steamed bread
The steamed buns here are more like smaller steamed buns, made of dough, unlike those in Shanghai without soup. In the process of steaming, fresh meat soup has penetrated into the dough. After steaming, the skin is thick and fragrant, and with a bowl of egg soup, the cold in winter is swept away. This must be accompanied by side dishes, dipping sauce, a dish of diced radish, a dish of vinegar pepper and a steamed stuffed bun. Very comfortable.
Fried steamed bread
Fried buns, also called water-fried buns, are made of the same materials as steamed bread except that they are fried in a pot and boiled in water until they are mature. Unlike frying, it is not as big as oil, and it is also thick-skinned and less soup. Fried buns are also very small, similar to steamed bread, and they are eaten with side dishes and hot soup.
steamed bun
It is said to be a unique local steamed bread, which is shaped like a big pocket, so it is called pocket steamed bread. According to the older generation, people are used to eating it on the fifteenth day of the first month in order to pray for a bumper harvest in a year. Later, I paid less attention to it, and I can eat it at ordinary times.
The fillings inside are generally made from local materials, such as casserole, oil residue, vermicelli, shepherd's purse, Chinese cabbage, baby cabbage and other homemade fillings. It is steamed in a pot with dough ... It tastes delicious and has become a special snack in some areas.
Sugar triangle (also called triangle bag)
When I was a child, I liked pasta best. Snacks were scarce at that time. Every time my mother steams steamed buns, she hopes to pinch two triangular steamed buns, which will make her happy for a long time. The stuffing inside is brown sugar or white sugar. Generally, some flour should be sprinkled in the sugar, mainly to prevent the sugar from flowing out after being melted by heat.
Fried sugar cake
The fried sugar cakes we make here are steamed with sweet potatoes, mixed with flour, wrapped in brown sugar and fried in a hot oil pan. The sweet potato itself is sweet and soft, and the stuffing inside is sweet but not greasy. You can Explosicum with a bite. It is really delicious.
Egg pancake
The omelet here is also different from that in the city. Pancakes must be mixed with flour and sweet potato flour (we call it noodle here), then add two eggs, sprinkle with chopped green onion and leek, and fry in a clay pot. A spoon of batter and a pancake. Garlic pancakes, a bite of garlic pancakes and a bite of hot porridge are simply refreshing.
Fried cake
Sometimes I don't want to steam steamed bread, so I fry oil cakes. Oil cakes dipped in soy sauce beans, fermented bean curd and Chili sauce are my favorites.
Fried vegetable corner
I don't know why, many dialects here have a "zi", such as noodles, oil cakes and vegetable boxes. ) the dough is wrapped with sweet potato vermicelli, eggs, shepherd's purse or leek, wrapped in a half-moon shape, and fried until both sides are golden, so it can be eaten. This dish is a must-eat dish on holidays, and sometimes it is wrapped in sugar, so it is naturally called sugar trough when it is fried with sugar.
Fried steamed bread
Not fried steamed bread slices, but the whole steamed bread is fried in an oil pan. The fried skin is crispy and golden, and sprinkled with special seasoning powder. You can eat one in one bite. When I was in middle school, this was the most common breakfast stall at the school gate. This is a perfect breakfast with a tea egg in it.
Caihezi
My family's love for food boxes is really endless. Everyone knows that leek boxes are delicious, but in my family, leek boxes are definitely the bottom of the pyramid of vegetable boxes. Stuffing is the soul of a vegetable box. If you want to sort the vegetable boxes with different fillings, rape stalk box will definitely rank first, followed by shepherd's purse box, amaranth box, spinach box, yellow cabbage box, rape box, purslane vegetable box, grey vegetable box and so on. Finally, the leek box. Everything that grows in the field, whether it is home-grown or wild vegetables, can be made into delicious and nutritious lunch boxes by my mother.
Steamed dumplings (meat stuffing and vegetable stuffing)
It goes without saying that northerners love jiaozi. Besides the most common boiled jiaozi, the most distinctive thing here is steamed dumplings. Steamed dumplings are vegetarian, and meat stuffing is steamed in jiaozi, but vegetarian stuffing is different. Generally, they are large and complete fillings, and fillings are also common ingredients: sweet potato vermicelli, thousand pieces of tofu and leeks. The most breakfast shop in our street is steamed dumplings, which shows how popular it is.
spring pancake
At first, eating spring cakes was a dietary custom in early spring, but when they are delicious, you can always find a reason to eat them. The dough for making spring cakes needs to be rolled very thin and baked in a pot. Spring cakes should be eaten with shredded potatoes, shredded radish and shredded mustard, and dipped in homemade bean paste when biting. Because bread is baked, it is very chewy. The shredded vegetables wrapped in it are crispy and delicious, with a strong sauce flavor, and it is very satisfying to eat at one bite.
Shuisongmo
It's similar to spring cake, except that the dough is rolled thin and then steamed in a pot, and it is also eaten with rolled vegetables dipped in sauce.
Mixed noodles mo
Cereal flour steamed bread is made of corn flour, sorghum flour and sweet potato flour in a certain proportion. Corn flour is yellow, sorghum flour is red and black, and sweet potatoes have red hearts and white hearts, so the steamed colors are different. When I was a child, I didn't like eating. In order for us to eat, my mother made some colorful fresh steamed buns.
The other is the most common steamed bread flower roll.
Staple food alone is not enough. How can a hearty breakfast be without soup? The combination of thinness and thinness is a nutritious breakfast.
porridge
Note: porridge and porridge are two different things. Porridge is just batter porridge. Stir the flour into a paste, boil the water in the pot, pour in the batter and stir vigorously. Finally, the whole pot is batter porridge. It's different from porridge. Usually sweet potatoes, beans and so on. (Including red taro porridge, broad bean porridge, corn porridge, red taro porridge, red bean porridge, cowpea porridge, pea porridge, soybean porridge and so on. ) put them all in it, and what to put in the porridge is usually determined according to the mature crop types in the farmland. )
This kind of noodle soup can be drunk all year round. In winter, my family cooks a big pot of breakfast every day.
Dough ball soup
Have you seen The Little Forest directed by Japanese Junichi Mori? I don't know how many people were cured by the bowl of noodle soup made by the prince in winter. Although there are some differences between our noodle soup and noodle soup, it is also very warm and healing. In recent days, my family has added two new puppies. I worry about what to feed them every day. My mother woke me up with a word. She said, "When you were young, I fed you pimples. Puppies are like babies. Even if the teeth are not full, they can absorb the nutrition of pimples. " I suddenly realized that I began to learn how to make noodle soup. I made one pot every morning, one for me and one for two baby dogs. They are fat and healthy now.
Chili soup
We are also called salty porridge here. Soup is usually chicken soup or bone soup, thickened with starch, plus fresh vegetables, tomatoes and eggs. It's best to eat with the cake.
Mixed noodles
Why do you eat mixed noodles in the morning? This question has puzzled me for a long time. Although I am from the north, in my opinion, noodles and the like should belong to lunch. After eating too much, I didn't care so much. After all, eating miscellaneous grains in the morning can regulate the stomach. Noodles are usually made of wheat flour and soybean flour. Whether a bowl of mixed noodles tastes right depends on whether there are sesame leaves in it. Noodles with sesame leaves can be said to be memories of the older generation. Because it is more troublesome to do, we usually go to a stall to eat now.
Tofu brain (must be salty)
The tofu brain here is different from other places. Tofu brain is delicious only with hot soup. Fill half a bowl of hot Hu spicy soup, pour the tofu brain into the remaining half bowl and stir with a spoon. Since I heard that eating tofu brain can make me smart, I like it very much, but eating it with Hu spicy soup is definitely the best way to eat it in my heart.
Sprinkle soup
This soup sprinkling has a long history and has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage. Because the materials used are mostly meat, wheat and so on. Eating sa regularly can strengthen the body, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. In winter, there is another kind of cold-proof and warm food.
Beef Soup
We must add some sweet potato vermicelli to the beef soup here. I guess it's because of the local production of sweet potato vermicelli, so sweet potato vermicelli should be used as stuffing in the jiaozi box of steamed buns, and even sweet potato flour should be added to the broth. However, the beef soup with sweet potato powder is really delicious, and the fans inside have absorbed the soul of beef soup and sucked it into their mouths very smoothly.
All kinds of porridge
In our place, porridge and porridge are two different things. Everything with rice grains in it is porridge, and the batter is porridge.
Rice porridge, pumpkin porridge, sweet potato porridge, corn porridge, etc. Porridge is the least popular soup, usually cooked to save energy, but with good ingredients and cooking, porridge is also a great breakfast.
If you don't cook for breakfast, you usually eat your own side dishes. For example, pickled garlic cloves, shredded mustard, peppers, soy beans and so on. , are very common, can eat for a long time. In the countryside, every family will have a vegetable jar, which is full of pickles made by themselves.
There are also Chili sauce, stinky tofu milk and the like, which can only be eaten when you think about it occasionally.
No matter where we are, our hometown is always our favorite place.
There is a saying in Breakfast China that you can find your hometown as long as you get up early.
Go to bed quickly and get up early tomorrow to have a good breakfast.
