As a native Hakka, I grew up in the infiltration of all kinds of delicious food cooked by my mother. In my childhood memory, my mother would cook different Hakka foods in various important festivals to celebrate various traditional festivals.
During the Spring Festival, my mother will make sugar rings, fried taro, crisp horns, turkey, braised pork, rice flour and bean curd, all of which are auspicious foods. On February 2nd, Yuanxiao will be made, that is, glutinous rice balls, and the Yuanxiao will be inserted into strings with bamboo sticks and hung on the wall of the yard to pray. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, we will make a thousand layers of cakes, zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, Ciba in the steamer in July and a half, pie in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Baba in the winter solstice ... In short, my mother will cook traditional food for us on many festivals or solar terms throughout the year.
The Hakka food I'm going to introduce to you is called Cassava Ciba. It is not made on any special festival, but it can also be made in leisure time on weekdays. Seeing this delicious food really reminds me of many childhood memories. Thinking of a rainy afternoon, my mother was idle at home, so she took out cassava flour to make Ciba. We gathered around my mother, watching her knead the rice cake, watching her put the stuffing made of shredded radish in the rice cake, and smelling the smell made my mouth water ...
The finished product below was made by myself the day before yesterday, and it was all done by my mother through video distance teaching. Although it doesn't look good, everyone thinks it tastes good!
First, cut the shredded radish, drain the shredded radish out of the water, and then fry it in a pot. This will prepare the stuffing.
Next, boil the water in the pot, put the cassava powder (which was sent by my mother from my hometown some time ago) into the pot, remember to put the salt, and then take hot water from the hot pot and slowly put it into the powder and stir it while adding water until the cassava powder can be kneaded into a ball.
when the dumplings are made, you can start to take the dumplings and knead them into a nest, then put the prepared radish traps in the nest, and then knead the edges.
when you have finished all this, start frying in hot oil, which requires great patience. Because the temperature is not well mastered, it's easy to zoom ... At this point, cassava Zanba is freshly baked and delicious!
I ate delicious food in my mouth, but I was thinking about my mother, my childhood, and that innocent age ... In the 198s and 199s, despite the lack of material, love made people feel warm. Life is peaceful and happy! Now that I think about it, that's the real quiet time!
