Preparation materials: rice, flour, sugar, sesame seeds, walnuts, hawthorn cake.

The first step is to steam the noodles

Put the flour into the steamer basket and open the pot and steam for 15 minutes.

Dr. Golden Dragon Tip: In order to prevent the flour from getting soaked with water during the steaming process, you need to put a dry cloth on top of the container holding the flour to cover the flour.

Step 2 Roll out the flour

Steamed flour will be dry and hard, so when the flour has cooled, use a rolling pin to roll it out finely.

Step 3 Mix the sugar filling

You just need to mix the steamed flour, sugar, sesame seeds, and crushed walnuts together.

Also cut the hawthorn cake into small pieces.

Step 4: Filling

Take a spoonful of rice, rub it back and forth on the flour so that it is completely coated with flour, and then press it down as thinly as you like.

Then wrap it with the sugar filling, and pinch the periphery together, and garnish it with a small piece of chopped hawthorn cake.

Aiwowo

Aiwowo, a traditional snack, every year around the Lunar Calendar, the Beijing snack bar on this variety, sold until the end of summer and early fall, so Aiwowo is also a spring and autumn varieties, and now there is a year-round supply.

Ai Wo Wo has a long history, the Ming Wanli years within the supervision of Liu Ruoyu's "discretion in the Zhi" said: "to glutinous rice sandwich sesame for the Liangcao, pills and stuffed with Wo Wo, that is, the ancient 'do not fall clip' is also."

It can be seen that this food is washed and soaked, and then into the cage drawer steamed, cooled and kneaded, pulled into a small dose, pressed into a round skin, wrapped with peach kernels, sesame seeds, melon kernels, plums, gold cake, sugar, and mixed into the filling, became the Ming Wanli years called the WoWo food.

But why did it become Aiwowo? In the Qing Dynasty, Li Guangting's book "Proverbs of the Countryside" explains it.

Because there was an emperor who loved to eat this kind of wowo, and when he wanted to eat it or wanted to eat it, he ordered, "Imperial Ai wowo." Later, when this food was introduced to the people, the general public could not and did not dare to say the word "imperial", so the word "imperial" was omitted and called "Ai Wo Wo".

This snack in the Ming Dynasty has flowed into the folk, the Ming Dynasty "Jinpingmei" in the record at that time in the popular delicacies on the Ai Wo Wo.

The glutinous rice used for the outer skin of Ai Wo Wo is already steamed, and the filling is also made of peach kernel, melon kernel, sesame kernel and sugar stir-fried beforehand, so it can be eaten after making it.

Therefore, "Yandu small food miscellaneous singing" said: "white powdered river rice into the steamer, mixed fillings of flour and noodles frustrated.

Muddled like a dumpling does not need to be boiled, *** called Ai Wo Wo." Also note that: "Ai Wo Wo, Hui people sell one of the food, to steam through the very rotten rice, to be cold wrapped in a variety of fillings, with the flour ball into a round, the size varies, depending on the price, can be eaten cold."
