I miss my mother’s stir-fried beef with shredded pickled peppers the most. I also miss that my mother would take me to eat spicy jelly every time I went to Jiefangbei (Chongqing City). I still miss my dad’s squid stewed in chicken soup. Answering this question reminds me of the love my parents have for me. I was born in 1969. At that time, material life was not so rich, but my parents always tried their best to provide food and clothing for me, my sister and my brother. When I recall my parents’ love, I always feel so warm and happy! At that time, parents did not have more entertainment programs and focused their time and attention on their children. Compared with parents today, I feel that I was very happy at that time. Today’s parents also love and care for their children, but their time allocation seems to be more compact now. They have to spend time playing mobile phones, playing mahjong, and eating, drinking and socializing. They have much less time to spend with their children. . Thanks for letting me share this question, which made me feel once again the love and care I received from my parents. Mom and Dad, thank you! Although we are in different worlds, I still miss you! Love you forever!
Which delicacies from your childhood do you miss the most?
As those born in the 1980s who grew up in rural areas, there are still several delicacies from childhood that I often miss.
1 Pickled Pork Scallops with Chili Powder When we were young, our family was poor and we didn’t have much snacks at that time. We often went to the mountains and fields to cook our children’s delicacies, and this pickled scallops are popular in spring and summer. is essential. In those citrus orchards and vegetable gardens, these thorns are planted to surround the garden. We went to collect the young thorns that were about ten centimeters long and brought them back. After peeling off the skin of the thorns, we folded them into several sections and packed them with paper. Add some chili powder, sprinkle some salt, and marinate for a while. At that time, we don’t need to marinate for long. We just open the paper bag and take out a few sticks to eat to see if they are cooked. Just taste them while marinating. It was a stick, but we tasted it and finished it before it was marinated. After eating, we even licked the paper with salty water inside the thorn cage.
2 Fried rice with chopped pepper and shredded ginger. Add lard to the oil-fried rice. When it's almost done, add more soy sauce. Make sure every grain of rice is coated with soy sauce, one grain at a time. Chop red pepper and young ginger, add salt, mix well and put in a jar to marinate. After the oil-fried rice is fried, mix the pickled chopped peppers in the jar with shredded ginger and take it out to eat. This dish is really a perfect match for the oil-fried rice.
These two dishes that we often ate when we were children are the delicacies that we who were born in the 1980s miss the most.
I especially want to eat the tofu buns from my hometown and the oily steamed buns, they are so fragrant! ! !
When I was a child, I lacked food and clothing, so I always had a deep memory of delicious food. I always remember a delicacy my mother often made in winter - peanut candy, which is actually peanut beans wrapped in sugar. At that time, I thought this thing was really delicious. It was sweet and crispy with peanuts, and had a rich texture. My mother once I would make a lot of it, cut it into small pieces, and put it all on the top of the cabinet. We were afraid that we would eat it ourselves, so we would only give one piece to each of the three of us every day. At that time, I always thought that our mother was afraid that if we finished eating too quickly and wanted to eat again, we would eat it all. Later, when I became a mother, I realized that it was because I was afraid that my children would have bad teeth if they ate too many sweets.
There was no refrigerator before, so we could only make it in winter. The three of us, my sister and I, were lying on the warm bed watching our mother fry peanuts and boil candy, fully expecting that the peanut candy would come to our mouths quickly. , my mother’s face was also full of happiness when she was making peanut candy. Now that I am a mother, I often think about cooking delicious food for my children. Parents all over the world are probably like this. They are willing to give the best to their children. Watching my children eat well makes me happy. Today I’m going to share with you this delicacy that I remember from my childhood. It’s really simple to make.
Peanut candy
Ingredients: peanuts, sugar (yes, just these two ingredients)
Method:
1. Use a wok to dry-fry the peanuts, stir-fry slowly over low heat, and stir while frying to prevent the peanuts from burning. Wait until the peanut skins fall off in the pot, then cool and peel the peanuts. Dry frying is to remove the water from the peanut beans, making them crispier and more fragrant, and secondly, it is easier to remove the peanut skins.
You can also use an oven if possible. The skin of the peanut beans after cooling is easy to rub off and blow the skin clean, or you can go to the supermarket and buy ready-made ones.
2. Add oil and sugar to the wok, heat slowly over low heat until it turns into caramel color. Add the peanuts and stir-fry evenly so that the peanuts are evenly coated with syrup. Pour in the syrup quickly while it is hot. Arrange the shape on the chopping board, then cut it into the size you like, let it cool and then eat it.
There are many other delicacies made by my mother, but this one is still fresh in my memory. If you like it, you can try it. It is really simple and delicious.
Sister Li has something to say:
1. High sugar and high calorie, children should not eat more, and diabetics cannot eat it
2. Organize the shape and cut into pieces It must be hot while it is hot, otherwise it will become hard and hard to fix
3. The process is very simple, the key is the heat, keep it low throughout the process
The food I miss the most from my childhood is my mother’s Make fennel buns, dumplings and pies, especially pies. Beat an egg into the fennel stuffing, and the baked pies will be golden on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes really delicious, and is unparalleled in the world. He begged that the meat buns should be a little bigger, and that the dumplings could be filled with fennel, eggs, or fennel and pork. He especially liked the fragrance of fennel and couldn't get enough of it. When I grew up, I didn’t often eat with my mother. Whenever we ate together, my mother knew best what I wanted to eat. She made me fennel pies, fennel buns, and fennel dumplings every day. The taste of this kind of food, to me, Not only the taste of childhood, but also the taste of maternal love, the taste of being cared for and cared for selflessly.
I am 91 years old. When I was a child, I could only eat some delicacies every time I celebrated my birthday. The cakes I had when I was a child cost 50 cents each. They came in a round box and there was a smell when I opened it. I didn’t know if it was creamy. Delicious! There are also orange flavored wheel cakes, my mouth is watering just thinking about them now! The first time I ate ham sausage in my memory was a Shuanghui brand. It was given as a gift. I was about 10 years old at the time. It was so pitiful. I shared it equally with my brother, biting a little bit at a time and savoring it again and again!
[Hugua] Speaking of glutinous rice, some people may think that I am a frog in the well when it comes to food. Nowadays, people who eat glutinous rice cannot find the taste of the glutinous rice that they had when I was a child. There is a story hidden in this meal. .
[Hugua] I am born in the 1970s. People born in the 1970s should all feel hungry. They drink porridge every day. It is porridge that can reflect your shadow, and there must be sweet potatoes. Because there was very little rice at that time, boiling it with sweet potatoes was enough for the whole family. There are seven brothers and sisters, plus parents, and there are nine people eating together. If we don’t put sweet potatoes in the pot, everyone will not be full. I ate too many sweet potatoes when I was a child, and I have a shadow in my heart. Now that I eat sweet potatoes to keep healthy, I don’t want to keep healthy. , I just want to eat white rice. Even if I am hungry, I will not eat sweet potatoes because I ate too much when I was a child.
[Peg] If you want to eat white rice, you have to wait until the New Year and relatives come home to eat it. I was so hungry at that time that my dreams were all about fragrant white rice. Once, I went to play with a friend in the village. This friend’s family was very wealthy. Her father was a fish seller, and my father was a fisherman. My family was too poor to open the pot. They had already bought a tractor, and it seemed that it was still a good idea. Business makes money. At that time, when I went to her house, she was eating with her mother. The rice looked very soft, and with the smell of peanut oil, I was already hungry. When I smelled the fragrant rice, I stood stupidly at the door of her kitchen. My eyes were fixed on the rice and I kept swallowing. My friend was probably worried about eating her rice and kept asking me to go home and wait for her. She came to me after eating, but the fragrant rice had already attracted me. I couldn't move my feet anymore, so I simply squatted down and said, just wait for her here. Maybe my pitiful look made my aunt soften her heart. She brought me a bowl with half a bowl of rice and told me to try this rice.
If I get good food, I would ask my mother to cook it. I was excited. I took the rice and took a big bite quickly. The rice was soft, glutinous and fragrant, with a salty taste and a hint of sesame oil. I was drunk. I finished half a bowl of rice in just a few mouthfuls. I couldn’t bear to put down the bowl after eating. I used my tongue to clean the bowl, and I was so drunk. I reluctantly put down the bowl and asked my aunt what kind of rice it was. She said it was sesame oil glutinous rice.
Later, when I got home, I asked my mother to cook glutinous rice. The family had no money, and it took a week to eat glutinous rice. There was not much oil at home, and my mother was reluctant to put more oil. Although the sesame oil glutinous rice was made, it was not as good as my aunt's sesame oil glutinous rice. eat. I felt that my family had no money, so I stopped asking my mother to cook sesame oil glutinous rice. However, my aunt’s sesame oil glutinous rice is the flavor I missed the most when I was a kid!
Nostalgia must be what has disappeared, and what is still there is not to be talked about. Disappeared include ice packs, dime wallets, old-fashioned popsicles, steamed cakes, large bubble gum, and sugar paintings.
What I miss the most is the various fried foods fried in tea when I was a kid (in the 1970s). At that time, we lived in a rural area, which was a hilly area. The mountains were not high, and they were one after another. All they plant are camellia trees. After the cold dew, they start picking camellia fruits and finally squeeze out the tea oil. At that time, tea oil was not valuable, but lard was valuable. If you want to eat fried food, you have to wait until the Chinese New Year. Every household must prepare New Year's Eve dinner and food for entertaining guests during the Spring Festival. The first is tofu soaked in oil. When making tofu, press it dry a little, cut it into long strips and squares, put it in the oil pan and fry it. When the skin is hard, take it out of the pan. The tofu is hollow in the middle, has a thin and bulging skin, and is crispy and fragrant when you bite it. The brothers and sisters in the family gathered around the pot and ate the first pot as a snack. The remaining fried tofu should be made into various dishes: steamed tofu, stuffed tofu, boiled tofu, soup tofu, etc. In order to preserve it for a long time and make it convenient to eat, marinate it in a jar, add an appropriate amount of salt and mix with chili powder, put it in the jar and compact it, and you can eat it after a week without cooking. It is delicious and convenient. Although there are various kinds of tofu sold in the market now, they don’t have the fragrant tea-fried flavor at all. Not many people make pickled tofu nowadays. In addition to fried tofu, there are also fried peanut cakes, soybean cakes, glutinous rice balls, sweet potato chips, etc. It is full of memories and the taste of childhood.
