Candied dates and pea yellow
Pea yellow is a Beijing-specific palace snack, mostly seen in spring and summer. Most of the methods include soaking, boiling, smashing, adding sugar, frying with sugar, coagulating and cutting peas into pieces. The traditional method also adds red date meat. My parents like to eat pea yellow very much. Here in Kaifeng, there are a lot of pea yellows sold in the streets and alleys, and the price is very cheap. I used to buy them for my parents to eat. The weather is getting cooler, and there are fewer and fewer people selling pea yellow. So, I made pea yellow for my parents to eat at home. This time, I added candied dates.

Donkey meat roasted
In the last century, I stayed in Beijing for a long time due to work. I especially like the old Beijing donkey meat roasted. I think the smell is very fragrant. I don’t know what seasoning it comes from. After making the food myself, I learned that the special aroma comes from cumin and Sichuan peppercorns. It seems hard to buy donkey meat here. I brought a piece of it from my sister's house. I haven't been willing to eat it, so I wanted to make donkey meat on fire. I read a lot of videos and information, and the opinions are different. But there is an authentic way of making the meat filling with cumin and peppercorns. I tried making it once, and it really tastes and feels like that. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a strong fresh aroma. I brought it to a friend to eat, and they said it tasted just like that.

Thin texture, a touch of sweetness----pea yellow
Peas, also known as snow peas, can be used as stir-fried vegetables, and when ripe, they can be ground into pea flour. Because peas are round and bright green and very beautiful, they are often used as side dishes to add color to dishes and stimulate appetite. People don’t eat a lot of peas in their daily lives. It may be due to Chinese eating habits and the season of peas. What everyone may not know is that peas have great medical functions. It can treat diabetes to a certain extent. Peas are rich in nutrients and are also valued in traditional Chinese medicine. It is rich in lysine, which is not found in other grains. Peas can be used as a staple food, and peas ground into pea flour are raw materials for making pastries, bean fillings, vermicelli, jelly, noodles, and flavored snacks.

The golden donkey rolls
I still remember a popular saying some time ago: What wakes me up every morning is not my alarm clock, but my dreams. This may be true for people who are struggling in the workplace, but for a freelancer like me, what wakes me up in the morning is a hungry growling belly and a churning stomach. Every day I look forward to what kind of breakfast and dinner I will prepare for myself today. Every meal is filled with unbearable anticipation. (Welcome to exchange more interesting kitchen stories, please add WeChat: EJM2467) Food is not my profession, but my hobby. Having experienced eating and not eating, I have a special feeling towards food. Every year I do 1-2 special periods of complete fasting without eating anything. It’s not about weight loss, it’s not about religious beliefs. In order to have a better connection with the body, I don’t eat anything for 7 days and only drink water. Taoists call it bigu, but I understand it as purification and cleansing of body, mind and soul. When our body cuts off all external food, some very subtle changes will occur in the body, and the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind will become extremely sharp. When the body reaccepts food after a complete fast, it is filled with infinite gratitude and reverence for food. Food, a gift from nature. Food, sex, and sex. I have never deliberately pursued what I eat and what tastes delicious. Everything is done as you please. The body is always smarter than the brain. The brain will artificially process it due to consciousness, knowledge, and experience, but the body will never analyze rationally, and the comfort, relaxation, heaviness, and pain will be revealed. So I prefer to be a person who listens to my body. When I was watching Zhizi earlier, I saw donkey rolling, one of Beijing’s special snacks, and I started to get greedy and wanted to taste it. So I got up early and made a donkey roll for myself. Donkey rolling is actually a bean flour cake. The inside is mixed with glutinous rice (Chongqing people like to call glutinous rice) flour and steamed in a pot. Then it is wrapped in red bean paste and covered with a layer of soybean flour on the outside. Golden yellow in color, sweet bean-flavored filling, soft in the mouth and unique flavor, it is a traditional snack suitable for all ages. After actually eating it, I can more easily think of our Chongqing glutinous rice cakes. Ciba is made by steaming glutinous rice and mashing it in a stone trough with a mallet. You can dip it in soybean noodles or brown sugar. Personally, I think the taste is thicker than Donkey Rolling. However, it does not lose its flavor. The fresh glutinous rice cakes can be eaten in one go. They can be made into round cakes and dried naturally. They can then be fried, pan-fried, or steamed, and can all become special snacks on their own. When you come to Ciqikou and Hongyadong in Chongqing, you have to have a bowl of the fragrant mountain town glutinous rice cake. The sticky glutinous rice cake is full of the enthusiasm of the people in the mountain city. No matter where I go, everything in my hometown is so beautiful and so nostalgic. What cannot be changed is the local accent and local flavor.

The oven version of old Beijing smiles
Many Chinese dim sum are fried, and although they are coveted, they are always looked at with awe. Open your mouth to smile, it seems very classic, and you never dare to pick up the pot of oil. I passed by it countless times, but when I saw it again, I suddenly felt a little moved. ——If it were fried instead of roasted, would it still smile so brightly? This is where the experiment begins. I tried a small amount and only took a third of the amount, but retained the full amount of oil - 10 grams. Compared with those crisp biscuits, this little amount of oil is really extremely small. Think about the way the pot of oil soaks into it. 10 grams of oil can really be ignored. Put it in the oven and stand aside, wondering whether it is smiling or not? Watching it gradually expand, I couldn't help but think of using my power: Open your mouth! Laugh, laugh. . . It's a pity that it won't work. I only saw a few of them, slightly cracked, and then no more movement. The sesame ball, which lacks oil and moisture, doesn't seem particularly happy, and even smiles are so stingy. . . In fact, even if the baked smile is a smile, due to the lack of oil support, it cannot form a round spherical shape, but is destined to have a flat bottom. It seems that after baking it for a long time, it failed to get the golden brown color of fried version, but only a light light golden color. . . All the shortcomings did not hinder its sweetness. In fact, the egg fragrance in it stood out because it was not covered by oil. . .

Fried Pork Fork—Old Beijing Snack
Pai Cha is a classic snack in old Beijing. This practice has been seen in other places, but the name is different. Some are called banana leaves, and some are called hemp leaves. No matter which way you call it, the method is basically the same. After being fried, the noodles are crispy and fragrant. If you want a crispy texture, you can add eggs when kneading the dough. You can add more black and white sesame seeds as you like. Sweet or salty as you like. If sugar is added, be careful not to use too high a temperature during frying, because sugar tends to color when heated. The pancake I made today is made from dough pressed using a noodle machine. It is just the right thickness. I don’t have to roll it out by hand anymore, which saves a lot of trouble! The oil used for fried pork chops is non-GMO soybean oil from Harbin Jiusan Group. The fried steak fried with it is not greasy, has a fragrant taste and is golden in color. The most important thing is that the oil from Jiusan Group is non-GMO, so you can eat it with confidence!

Hometown Fire Steamed Bun
The must-eat New Year’s staple food [Hometown Fire Steamed Bun] has different customs in different places. The North celebrates the 23rd Little New Year, and the South celebrates the 24th. The day before yesterday, I heard an old man say that in their village, the man named Wang celebrated the 24th, and everyone else celebrated the 23rd. I think this probably originated from different stories, and we won’t go into details here. The main purpose of celebrating the Small New Year is to offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God. During the New Year, all the gods and goddesses will report to the Jade Emperor. We first offer sacrifices to the Stove Prince, give us some delicious food and drink, and let the Stove Prince go to heaven to say kind words and hope that we will have food and drink in the coming year. I don’t know how the emperors and officials in the past offered sacrifices. The only things handed down from us common people are fire-roasted buns and stove sugar. After offering sacrifices to the Stove Lord, we can still eat them without wasting them. There is also a custom among our local people that the whole family must eat the fire-roasted buns, especially the married girls. So some of this steamed bun should be saved. When the girl goes home to pay New Year greetings, she will take it out and eat it, saying that eating it will keep her from forgetting her roots. So since I took over the position of the chef in our family, I have been cooking fire roast seriously every year, and I have to remember to go back to my parents’ house to eat, and I have to remember to leave some for Niuer’s aunt. Hehe, think about it, what a simple feeling this is! I have been shooting "Fire" for several years, but I have never edited it or posted it. Today it is finally coming out. Yesterday I posted a picture on WeChat, and many friends resonated with it. This is the kind I ate when I was a kid. It seems that we will continue to pass on the traditional classics. Materials: 500 grams of flour, 40 grams of milk powder, 260 grams of water, 6 grams of yeast. Ingredients: green onion, salt, sesame oil. Method:

Millet and donkey rolling
I have always thought that Donkey Rolling is the roll version of the glutinous rice cake, haha! When I was a child, it was difficult for people in the north to often eat white glutinous rice and millet (also called big yellow rice) flour cakes, which were shaped into flat slices or small bowls, but some people hawked them. As a kind of whole grain, the texture is not as moist as that of glutinous rice. When you eat it, you will feel a bit spicy in your throat and have a slightly bitter taste. But for me, who likes this kind of sticky snack, this is good, and the whole grain has its own original and simple fragrance. Later, living conditions improved, and glutinous rice was common, but millet rice was less common. Except during the Chinese New Year, you would occasionally meet an old farmer-like person in the countryside selling some of this childhood food. I usually buy some to eat, which is sweet with sugar and rolled with a layer of cooked flour on the outside. I serve three or four, and finish it in one go. This year, I won’t even encounter this occasionally, so I’ll just do it myself. Donkey rolls are usually made from glutinous rice flour. Let’s make it with millet rice today. I wonder how many people like sticky snacks with a tougher texture? It's too soft and waxy and not suitable for a northern girl like me. It's sticky and chewy, and the tough feeling is my favorite. Although it may be difficult to digest, our iron stomach has no problem eating it.

Seven-colored donkey rolling
I really love this old Beijing snack. In addition to the soft and glutinous glutinous rice skin and sweet red bean paste, I think the outermost layer of soybean noodles is the most fragrant part and the essence. After the fried soybeans are ground into powder, a strong aroma will hit your nostrils, and then evenly wrapped on the donkey roll, it is really addictive. But today when I was doing donkey rolling, I suddenly got the idea to make a colorful version. So I used black sesame powder, matcha powder, blueberry powder, red yeast powder, golden cheese powder and coconut mash. Anyway, there are a lot of fans at home. In the end, it turned into a seven-color donkey rolling, and the effect was really dreamy. So it's the seven-colored donkey rolling, not the seven-colored donkey rolling... But to be honest, although they all taste good, only the soybean noodles are the best! Most! Right! Zong! Reference serving size: 3 pieces, about 18 yuan.

Mi Sandao
Recently, at a certain period, I always want to eat the kind of Mi San Dao I loved to eat when I was a child. I bought it several times in the supermarket, but it was always unsatisfactory and I didn’t feel confident eating it, so I wanted to try making it myself. Today I saw that the ingredients at home were enough, so after frying the fried dough sticks, I started making this snack. The recipe was searched online before, but since the maltose I used is in paste form, I adjusted the water consumption. One thing that is not ideal is that most of the rolled sesame seeds fell to the bottom of the pot after frying. I saw that there was a lot of maltose used in the recipe, and I was always worried that the finished product would taste too sweet, but it turned out that it was not as sweet as the ones sold in supermarkets. I thought the sweetness was good, and it reminded me of the taste I had when I was a kid.

Simple version of donkey rolling
Time is too thin and the gaps between fingers are too wide. What cannot be grasped is the passage of time. But I still remember the heavy stone mill used to grind beans to make tofu in winter. In the summer, beans, wheat, rice and other whole grains were fried, ground into powder, and mixed with sugar. These were the snacks our mother prepared for us to satisfy our cravings. It can be eaten dry, soaked into batter, or steamed and dipped into glutinous rice dough. It's fragrant, sweet and glutinous, and your mouth is full of powder. Those are all happy memories from childhood. Nowadays, there is a wall-breaking food processor instead of a stone grinder. It is much easier to grind powder. I want to make a Chinese dessert for my children on the weekend. I only know the dialect name, but don’t know how to say it in Mandarin. I went to look for its name on the Internet, but unexpectedly it is similar to the famous Beijing snack Donkey Rolling, so let’s call it the simplified version of Donkey Rolling!

【Beauty and anti-aging】Microwave cranberry preserves
Cranberries mainly grow in acidic peat soils in cool areas of the northern hemisphere. Since it is difficult to obtain and preserve fresh cranberry fruits, fresh cranberries are rarely seen on the market. Most of them are dried cranberries or mixed juices. Therefore, I am very happy to receive fresh cranberries from the American Cranberry Association. Cranberry is very rich in nutritional value and is a natural antibacterial health-care fruit~~~~~beautifies the skin, resists aging, reduces cardiovascular softening, reduces the incidence of gastric ulcers and gastric cancer, protects the gastrointestinal tract, protects oral hygiene, prevents common urinary tract infections in women, etc.~~~ Fresh cranberries that have been opened have a short refrigerated storage time, so I took part of them and made cranberry preserves, which prolongs the storage time and can be eaten slowly~~O(∩_∩)O~
