Sixi Baked Gluten

Sixi Baked Gluten

Overview

Roasted bran is also called gluten in the north. It is a delicious dish that my mother often cooked when I was a child. At that time, I only knew it as a Shanghai specialty stir-fry. After leaving my hometown, when I think of that taste, I go to the supermarket to buy Meilin Sixi Baked Bran. Now you can make it yourself at home. It is said that the authentic method of grilled bran is deep-fried. The grilled bran itself absorbs oil. I was afraid that it would be too greasy, so I changed it to fried. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t taste like my mother’s, but it is enough to satisfy cravings. After all, it is much healthier than canned products.
