We have a delicacy here called Donghe Meat Pie.
It is a paper-thin pancake that is wrapped in dough and stuffed with meat.
For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival that just passed, meat pie is a must-have. Eating meat pie seems to have become a ritual during the Dragon Boat Festival.
After our daughter gets married, on the first Dragon Boat Festival, her mother's family will prepare a lot of food and send it to her daughter's husband's house, and distribute it to her husband's neighbors, relatives and friends. One of the must-have items is - Dong
River meatloaf.
When I was a child, the Dragon Boat Festival was the time when every household had just harvested wheat.
When the newly harvested wheat is processed into fresh flour, a sweet smell fills the air. The smell is still intoxicating when I think about it.
Nowadays, few people here grow wheat. The only way to make meatloaf is to buy ready-made high-quality flour.
To make meatloaf, add light salt water to the flour and mix it into a dough. Cover it with gauze and let it rest for a while.
During the process of waking up the noodles, you can start making the stuffing. The pork should be sandwiched with some fat. The fat and lean meat should be minced together with freshly cut leeks or green onions from the ground to make the stuffing. The green green green onions plus the crystal clear meat,
The look has aroused the appetite.
By the time the meat filling is chopped and seasoned, the noodles will be almost ready.
Nowadays, many people like to make Donghe meatloaf, which consists of two layers of wheat cakes, with fat meat and leeks sandwiched in the middle.
My mother and mother-in-law are used to flattening a piece of dough and filling it with meat filling in the middle.
The meat patties bought outside use more fat, and the fat meat patties can be pulled thin and not easy to break.
Our home-made meatloaf has more lean meat, especially the meatloaf made by my mother. You can still see slightly raised pieces of lean meat after it is cooked.
Although this kind of cake is not as thin as the one you bought, it tastes oily but not greasy, very chewy and has a better texture.
The dough with fillings needs to be covered with a cloth to make it stronger and easier to pull. The length of the rest time depends on the weather. Experienced people will generally press the dough gently with their hands and judge whether the dough is strong or not according to the elasticity of the dough.
It can be opened.
The pancakes made with dough that has just risen will be thin and round.
After the meatloaf is placed in the hot pan, pour a circle of oil along the edge of the pancake. It doesn't need to be too much, as long as it doesn't stick to the pan.
The thin Donghe meatloaf is browned on both sides. If you can’t finish the first meal, you can keep it in the refrigerator and eat it hot in a pan the next day.
After one side is hot, turn it over and heat the other side as you would when grilling a new patty, just don't add any more oil.
Although the recooked meatloaf is not as fresh as when it was baked the first day, it is already extra crunchy and tastes more delicious.
If you don't like to eat something too hard, you can beat an egg into it. The meatloaf will become softer and more nutritious.
Still chewy and delicious.
I can eat meatloaf this way for days without getting tired of it.
Therefore, every time my mother-in-law and mother made meatloaf, they would make a few more and ask me to take them back and save them for breakfast the next day.
In the past two years, my eighty-one-year-old mother has baked meatloaf more and more frequently. Sometimes, before finishing the last time, she has baked meatloaf again and asked us to eat it.
I am worried that she will be tired and should not do such strenuous work often.
If you want to eat, you can also buy a few outside to try.
She said: "Where can I buy it from outside and cook it myself? While I can still make it, I will make it a few more times for you to eat. If you want to eat it when I'm gone, go buy it yourself." After hearing this, I never
I would stop my mother from baking pancakes, and I would try my best to help her when I had time. She would bake them and I would turn them over.
