Ge Fen's method of making meatballs is exquisite. First, Ge Fen was repeatedly stir-fried in a large iron pot to dry it into fine powder without caking. Then there are pork (suitable for fat essence), dried bean curd (most suitable for spiced dried), mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, shrimp skin and other ingredients. Cut into fine dices, pour into kudzu powder together with fine salt and monosodium glutamate, and stir well. Then add a proper amount of boiling water, stir until a thick paste is formed, and then gently knead it into pieces. Its taste is diverse, waxy and smooth, flexible and palatable. Some need to be boiled, add onion and garlic, and stir-fry with lard, which is more oily and delicious.
Besides Ge Fen, fern root can also extract fern powder, which can be used to wrap jiaozi. The taste is similar to that of jiaozi, Ge Fen. It is not only delicious, but also a rare natural green food. In addition, sweet potato powder can be used to wrap jiaozi, and the taste is slightly reduced.
Ge Fen and Pteridium aquilinum powder are called "longevity powder" among the people, which has high nutritional value, is cool and antipyretic, produces fluid to quench thirst, resists bacteria and detoxifies, and is an excellent health food.
