Chestnut Paste Mooncake

The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is here again, and it’s another festival for making mooncakes; this is the second time I’ve made puff pastry mooncakes, using chestnuts as the filling. The so-called [Puff-Skin Mooncake] has a very crispy outer skin, and the texture is so crispy when you bite into it. Chestnuts are very fragrant and a little sweet, so I did not add sugar when frying the chestnut puree; if you like a sweet filling, you can add a little sugar. You can eat more home-made fillings without feeling tired, mainly because there is not a lot of oil and sugar added; since it is home-made without adding preservatives, you must put it in the refrigerator and eat it as soon as possible. . In fact, making mooncakes is very simple, you just need to spend some time making the fillings; the so-called home-made ones are healthy and hygienic.

Spiced Pumpkin Pie

Hahaha, when I woke up in the morning, I found that there was no breakfast, so I decided to make it.

Xiaoguzi completely overturned his determination not to eat the onion, garlic and pumpkin yesterday. The little friends ate it so deliciously that they couldn't stop talking one after another. In the end, they competed with me to eat it. I made 12 pieces in total and I ate one, and the 11 little friends annihilated them all in one morning. Then when I was taking pictures, little Guzi stood next to me. When he saw that I wasn't very wary of him, he reached out and took it away and ran away.

Zongzi Love Dragon Boat Festival--Simple [Clear Water Zongzi]

The Dragon Boat Festival will be here in a few days. When it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, many people who are away from home will miss the rice dumplings in their hometown. I am no exception, so every year when I can’t go home during the Dragon Boat Festival, I make some rice dumplings to relieve my homesickness. Zongzi in the north are mostly made of red dates or candied dates. Unlike in the south, there are many kinds of zongzi, including clear water rice dumplings, fresh meat rice dumplings, egg yolk meat rice dumplings, bean paste, alkaline water rice dumplings, pork ribs rice dumplings, and sausage rice dumplings. In the past two years, rice dumplings made with pork ribs and sausages were made every year. This year, my son said that he most wanted to eat clear water rice dumplings dipped in sugar. In fact, I also like to eat clear water rice dumplings. I don’t put anything in them, just wrap glutinous rice, and what I eat is the fragrance of the rice dumpling leaves. I made these rice dumplings more than ten days ago. I cooked some and gave them away. The rest were frozen in the refrigerator and can be steamed when I want to eat them. There was a discount on glutinous rice in the supermarket yesterday, so I bought another 4 kilograms. When the weather gets cooler, I will pack some in the freezer so that I can still have rice dumplings to eat after the Dragon Boat Festival.

[Oil-free and healthy version of braised pork with dried bamboo shoots]: Firecrackers welcome the Spring Festival

Today’s oil-free and healthy version of braised pork with dried bamboo shoots is one of my favorite combinations. There is absolutely no need to add extra fat in this dish. After the three processes of blanching, stewing and steaming the pork belly, the fat in it has almost completely separated. At the same time, after absorbing the fat of the pork belly, the dried bamboo shoots add an oily aroma in addition to their own sweetness, which is a perfect combination. In terms of taste, the steamed pork belly is so soft that it melts in your mouth and requires no chewing at all. The dried bamboo shoots are fresh and crisp, filling your mouth with saliva. No matter from a health perspective, or from a taste and texture point of view, it’s a perfect match! This braised pork with dried bamboo shoots can be presented in various ways. It can be made into a directly mixed form, or it can be made into a meat-stuffed form. No matter which one, it will not affect its deliciousness at all. Today, I wrapped the simmered bamboo shoots with thinly sliced pork belly, and used coriander stems as leads to make it look like firecrackers. In order to avoid monotony, some copper coins were carved from carrots, boiled and placed around the firecrackers. Finally, garnish with cilantro and diced carrots to simulate the crumbs of firecrackers. So, let’s name it: Firecrackers to welcome the Spring Festival! Seeing that the New Year is just around the corner, I wish you all a happy New Year in advance with this dish~~

Christmas stump cake

Three years ago I planned to make a gingerbread house for Christmas, but I never implemented it. It became more and more troublesome as time went by, so I gave up on it for Christmas this year. I looked around and found that tree stump cake is the best. I have become very good at baking recently. I make cakes often anyway, and the whole process is simple. The first time I made it, I felt uneasy before it took shape. I was not sure that I had succeeded until I drew a clear tree pattern with a fork. This time the cake roll is filled with bean paste filling, which is easier to make than cream filling and has a better texture. You don’t have to worry about the heat of the cake heating up the cream, and it won’t be easy to roll it when the cake is cold.

There are often more homes that have not done it than those that have done it. This kind of Laba dish can be eaten until the Chinese New Year. Today's Laba dish, I made it in my own way and made improvements. Because it is traditional to put a lot of salt and vinegar in order to keep it for a long time.

After carefully studying and pondering Mr. Shi Shang's cranberry mooncake, I used the materials on hand and slightly modified it to create this purple cherry-filled mooncake. However, the filling made of a large amount of milk powder and butter really makes people worried - with so much butter and milk powder has no supporting force, won't this mooncake bake? At the moment when the fillings were being made, the doubt about the baking power suddenly came to an answer - the 0 degrees of the low heat was not an input error or confusion, but a necessity. Bake it over high and low heat, and the mooncake will definitely collapse.

Taste of the Year: Jade Jasper---Laba Garlic

Along with eating Laba porridge and soaking Laba garlic in Laba, the flavor of the new year is getting richer and richer. Speaking of Laba garlic, according to the old man, the word "garlic" for Laba garlic has the same pronunciation as the word "shuang". This is the day when all businesses close their accounts. Calculate the income and expenditure of the year, and you can see the profit and loss, including foreign debts and foreign debts. All must be calculated clearly on this day. This is what Laba calculation is all about. On Laba day, a creditor who wants to pay a debt has to deliver a message to someone who owes him money, so he should be prepared to pay back the money. There is a folk proverb in Beijing: Laba porridge, Laba garlic, those who pay debts deliver letters, and those who owe debts pay back. Later, some people who owed money to others used garlic instead of counting to express their taboo and avoid the counting character for settling accounts. In fact, what you owe others must be paid back after all. There is also a saying: It is said that it is very embarrassing for people who did business in the early years to come to ask for accounts at the end of each year. A shrewd businessman had an idea. On Laba day, he pickled a lot of small jars of garlic. When the debt was due at the end of the year, he took a small jar of Laba garlic to the debtor's house and asked what he was missing for the New Year. Short of what? I just didn’t mention the matter of collecting accounts. When I got there, I took out a small jar and said, it’s the Chinese New Year and I don’t have anything to bring with me. I brought a jar of Laba garlic and I wanted to have a good meal of dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Because garlic has the same pronunciation as calculation, the debtor naturally thought that everyone had worked hard for a year and it was time to settle the debt, so he took the initiative to settle the debt. This incident became popular as soon as it spread to ten people and hundreds of people. However, this Laba garlic has continued to this day, and has lost its original meaning of collecting accounts. Instead, it adds a festive color to the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Purple rice lotus seed rice dumpling

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival! Speaking of rice dumplings, many people think that glutinous rice is difficult to digest. If you eat too much at one time, your stomach will be bloated and uncomfortable, so you can add some grains or other grains to it. In the north, more rice is added, which is rhubarb rice, that is, broomcorn millet, which is unhulled millet and is glutinous than millet. It’s much bigger. What I always like to eat in the south is blood glutinous rice, also called purple-red glutinous rice. The outer skin is purple-red, which is a little glutinous than black rice, but it still has a hard outer shell. It is this full outer shell that is rich in dietary fiber and helps digestion~ Moreover, it is said that blood glutinous rice can also beautify the skin.

Because it's soaked in lots of butter, Christmas bread tastes very close to cake. This Christmas bread tastes best a week after making it. It goes well with red wine, but also champagne.

Mid-Autumn Mooncake Filling-Red Bean Filling

On a whim, I soaked the red beans and made some red bean filling. Maybe it was because I used a wall-breaking machine. The bean paste was beaten very finely and I was very satisfied with the finished product. Thinking about it, this year's Mid-Autumn Mooncakes will definitely taste better than last year's! Of course, red bean filling can not only be used to make mooncakes, but can also be used to make lasagna or bread! The current weather in Liuzhou is on average 27 degrees to 35 degrees, so staying in the kitchen means baking on the stove, so I handed over the arduous task of frying bean paste to the bread machine and used the jam function of the bread machine to complete it! Although it will take a little longer, you don’t have to stand by the stove in the hot summer, and you can also be distracted and do other things. Those who have a bread machine can also try making it. If you don’t have a bread machine, just fry it yourself!

Give him an edible house for Christmas---a gingerbread house

The origin of the gingerbread house that evolved from gingerbread comes from the story of the candy house in the forest in Grimm's fairy tale. Hansen and Gretel, a brother and sister, were left in the forest by their parents because their family was poor. Unexpectedly, they discovered a candy house in the forest when they were hungry. The roof was made of bread, the walls were made of biscuits, the windows were made of white icing, and all kinds of candies were hung on the outside of the roof and walls.

Enjoy Laba in a Simple Way—Qibao Five-flavor Porridge

Today, during the Laba Festival, I will make a simple recipe called "Qibao Five Flavors Porridge". When I first heard the name, I must have thought it would be easy to make! Haha, a simple dish of porridge, with a name and this trick! To attract attention? Snickering, I actually searched for some allusions about Laba porridge on Baidu, and then I found out that Laba porridge is also called Qibao and Five-flavor porridge. Laba porridge is a kind of porridge made from a variety of ingredients during the Laba Festival. It is also called Qibao and five-flavor porridge. Eating Laba porridge to celebrate the harvest has been passed down to this day. The earliest Laba porridge was cooked with red beans. Later, it evolved and became more colorful with local characteristics. Ming'er understands! Listen to the story below! When I was little, I loved listening to my grandma telling stories, and I also heard her telling stories about the origin of Laba porridge. The almighty Du Niang found this story that reminds us to be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping. It is the same as what grandma told. In the early years, there was a family of four, an old couple and two sons. The old couple are very hard-working and work on the crops all year round. Plowing in the spring, hoeing in the summer and harvesting in the autumn, we work diligently towards our days. The various grains stored at home are full in large quantities and small in quantity. There was also a jujube tree in their yard. The old couple cultivated it carefully. The jujubes they produced were crisp and sweet. They sold them at the market and made a lot of money. They lived a very wealthy life. The old couple worked hard to find wives for their two sons. Seeing that the son was reaching the age to marry a wife day by day, and the old couple were getting old, the old father asked the two brothers to plant crops well before his death; the old mother asked the two brothers to take good care of the jujube trees in the yard and save money to save food for marrying a wife. In a family of four, only the two brothers are left to live. When the elder brother saw the food in the big hoard and the small hoard, he said to his younger brother: We have so much food, that’s enough. Let’s take a break this year! The younger brother said: The jujube tree is not in need this year. Anyway, we are not short of jujubes. In this way, the two brothers became more and more lazy and greedy. Just knowing that we eat, drink and have fun year after year, we have used up all the food in a few years. As for the jujube trees in the yard, the dates they bear are not as good as each year. It was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month this year, and there was really nothing to eat at home. What should we do? The elder brother found a small broom, and the younger brother brought a small dustpan, and swept through the gaps between the large and small storage areas where grains were previously stored. A handful of yellow rice grains were swept from here, and a handful of red beans were found from there. In this way, a few handfuls of grains and grains were collected, not much, but a lot of samples. Finally, a few dried red dates were found and cooked together in a pot. After it was cooked, the two brothers ate the porridge made from all kinds of grains. Their eyes looked at each other, and then they remembered what their parents said before they died, and they regretted it extremely. The two brothers tasted the pain of laziness and turned around, and became diligent the next year. Like their parents, they lived a good life in a few years, married a wife, and had children. In order to remember the lesson of laziness and remind people not to forget to live diligently and frugally, from then on, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people would eat porridge mixed with whole grains. Because this day fell on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people called it Laba porridge.

Tender and sweet---Confit duck legs

Confit cooking originated in southwest France near the Atlantic Ocean and has a history of several hundred years. Originally, the whole goose was sealed in confit. I believe this is related to the local tradition of feeding goose to fatten the liver. The whole goose was completely immersed in goose fat in a large pot, simmered over low heat for a few hours, and then put in a jar to keep it for a winter. Later, more people made confit instead of keeping it fresh, just for the unique flavor. Although the Mediterranean region of France also uses olive oil to make confit due to its rich olive oil, the traditional way of making confit is to use duck fat for duck and goose fat for goose. In addition, many meats can be cooked in confit, but traditionally the term confit still refers specifically to duck or goose that is confit. After complicated cooking methods such as marinating, soaking in oil, and low-temperature roasting, the duck legs are crispy but not cracked, crispy but not rotten, the appearance is intact, and the color is golden and attractive. Just one look at it makes me salivate, and I take a bite. The shredded duck meat is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, plump and delicious, and I am very satisfied! The soft, glutinous and fragrant potatoes and the refreshing and sweet vegetables relieve the greasiness of the duck legs. The taste is wonderful and wonderful!

There is reunion in heaven and earth---Papaya, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice balls

Eating glutinous rice balls is an important custom during the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan, also known as Tangyuan and Yuanxiao. The custom of eating glutinous rice balls began in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the glutinous rice balls were called Fuyuanzi, also known as glutinous rice balls, lactose dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and glutinous rice balls. Businessmen nicknamed them: Yuanbao. During the Song, Yuan and early Yuan Dynasties, glutinous rice balls had become a festival food during the Lantern Festival, so people also called them Yuanxiao. Nowadays, it is called Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south. According to the filling theory, Yuanxiao can be divided into two types: stuffed and non-stuffing. Filled Yuanxiao can be divided into salty, sweet, meat, and vegetarian. According to the production method, there are hand-rolled, Yuanxiao mechanism, and bamboo plaque rolling. Today, I will make a simple small dumpling without stuffing and pair it with papaya. It tastes very refreshing and not greasy. It has the gentleness of papaya and the fragrance of osmanthus.

The Dragon Boat Festival is getting closer day by day, and the custom of eating rice dumplings is indispensable everywhere! During the Dragon Boat Festival in Wuhan, there is a custom of eating duck eggs, preserved eggs, rice dumplings, and mung bean cakes. After coming to Wuhan for many years, the Dragon Boat Festival in previous years was a symbolic way to eat rice dumplings sold in supermarkets. Not to mention the price is expensive and the taste is not good, so it is better to make them yourself. In the past few years, I have been making rice dumplings for myself, giving some to friends, and keeping the rest in the refrigerator. I can take them out and steam them when I want to eat them. In my hometown, Baiyangdian, people also make rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, and eat fried cakes. The fried cakes filled with sticky dough and bean paste are the most delicious. Legend has it that the elderly and children will not fall down if they eat fried cakes on the Dragon Boat Festival. The rice dumplings are cooked with fresh reed leaves and then wrapped. They feel more delicious than the rice dumplings wrapped in rice dumpling leaves. This may be a matter of eating habits since childhood, and then there is the plot of homesickness.

Nian Gao, because it is homophonic with Nian Gao, has the meaning of being high every year, embodying the hope of getting taller every year.

Nowadays, I don’t have to pay so much attention to it. I can eat whatever I want all year round. There are many ways to make rice cakes, but in essence, they are all made by first beating the rice into rice paste, then draining it, steaming it in a pot, and finally beating it. Different regions use different types of rice. In our Jiangnan area, rice and glutinous rice are mostly used to make rice cakes. In addition, you can also add red dates, red mung beans, even candied fruits and other ingredients according to personal preference. Since I didn’t have any glutinous rice at home, I just used glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour (rice flour). The finished product tastes very good and has a strong bean aroma.

When I took the first bite, I wanted to take a second bite. I didn’t want to stop and eat one moon cake and wanted to have a second moon cake. The red bean filling is wrapped with [mochi]. The improved filling is very special. In the past, when I ate mochi, it was delicious when wrapped in crushed peanuts. So I thought of incorporating mochi into Cantonese-style mooncakes. The improved bean paste filling tastes very good and has a chewy texture. When I was making it, I wondered if the mochi would be hard when I ate it the next day, but I ate one immediately after the oil returned. . . The texture is as chewy and tender as freshly made mochi. . When you break the mooncake apart with your hands, the mochi looks like "drawn" mozzarella cheese. The first mooncake I made was a success. I thought it would be difficult to make when I first made it, but it is actually very simple to make. .

【Purple Sweet Potato Snowskin Mooncake】---Zero-failure mooncake

During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, I made Cantonese-style mooncakes four times, and there were about a hundred of them. Although I made so many, there were not many left at home. So later I made some ice-skin ones, filled with my favorite purple sweet potato filling and lotus paste filling. Snowskin mooncakes are not only easy to make, but also have less oil and sugar, so it doesn’t matter if you eat a few more. There are different ways to make snowskin mooncakes. You can fry the flour first and then knead it into a ball. You can also mix various raw flours first and steam them before making them. Compared with the two flavors, I prefer steaming the flour before making them.

With my persistence, I’m waiting for you three inches of heaven——Strawberry Mousse Cake (Happy Valentine’s Day)

The agreement between life and death is broad, and I am happy with my son. Hold your hand and grow old together. This ancient and firm commitment is a romantic and beautiful legend. This year's Spring Festival coincides with Valentine's Day in the West, adding a lot of romance to traditional Chinese festivals. I have been married to my husband for ten years, and from lovers to husband and wife, in a blink of an eye, half went with the water, and half fell into the dust. Our marriage has been so ordinary for the past ten years, with no twists and turns, and it just came over. My husband is not a romantic person, but he is very practical and persistent. He never knows what to give me on a wedding anniversary or my birthday, nor does he know what to give me to make me happy. I am quite depressed about this, but thinking about all the good things he has done, I feel relieved. After ten years of married life, I have gained an understanding of marriage. In addition to being ordinary, it must be calm and leisurely. It is like Chinese cabbage, ordinary and ordinary, but it makes people feel comfortable after eating it. Valentine's Day is coming soon. Although we are no longer a couple, I still got up early and planned to make a delicious cake for my husband on this double holiday. But after I finished cleaning up, I took my husband's hand and asked him if he knew what it meant. Seeing my husband's blank look on his face, I couldn't laugh or cry, and said to him, why don't you have any romantic cells? This is called holding hands and growing old together! I was completely defeated by him. Chocolate and strawberry have always been representatives of sweetness. Today I made such a charming cake to wish all the lovers in the world a happy marriage.

On the New Year's Eve dinner table, in addition to big fish and meat, an indispensable part is an exquisite small cold dish. Times are changing, and people's preferences for fish and meat are far from the craze they used to be. Especially for the elderly and obese people, exquisite side dishes are more suitable for their physiques. Today’s side dish is something I learned from the chef and I made some slight changes. The crust part is made of mung bean starch, and the method is similar to the method of cold skin. But it saves you the trouble of washing your face and settling it. You can use mung bean starch or potato (sweet potato) starch. Both of you feel that mung bean or pea is more effective. Adding a little salt to the starch paste can increase the toughness of the dough and make it less likely to break. The transparent pancake wrapper with colorful vegetables is very similar to Vietnamese rice bread, isn’t it?

Pumpkin pie

Pumpkin is very nutritious, but I rarely buy it. I don’t know whether I don’t like its taste or texture. In short, I can’t eat it more than a few times throughout the year. A few days ago, my mother sent me a pumpkin. I ate half of it and put the remaining half in the refrigerator. I kept it for several days without thinking about making it, and then I thought it would be a pity if it went bad, so I thought of making pumpkin pie. Pumpkin cake was often eaten in restaurants before. The taste and texture are very good. Although I have never made it myself, I still want to try it. Making pumpkin pie requires bread crumbs, but I don’t have any at home. It doesn’t matter. I happened to make toast the day before, so I cut a few slices and made it quickly. I saw that there was no red bean paste, but I could use the black sesame glutinous rice dumpling filling I made some time ago instead, so I prepared all the ingredients and started cooking. To be honest, the process of doing it was not as simple as imagined. The dough was a little dry at first, and after several attempts, it cracked and exposed the filling, so I added water to the dough to make it a little softer, and that was it. When the pumpkin pie is fried and delicious, it tastes better than the ones sold. The outer shell of the cake is crispy and soft, and the filling is sweet and delicious. I couldn't help but eat several of them. It seems that as long as you change the cooking method, you can turn even the ingredients you don’t like into something you can’t put down!

If you can't even find chrysanthemum, you can only use green spinach to make it green. I was lucky enough to buy chrysanthemum. Actually, I really don’t know what the Youth League does.

Every year, the Lantern Festival is eaten outside, or there is a long queue to buy freshly made Yuanxiao from a time-honored brand. This year we have decided not to eat Yuanxiao bought from outside, but to make Yuanxiao by ourselves. The most important thing about Yuanxiao is the taste of the fillings. I have tried many kinds of fillings over the years, and my favorite is black sesame. So this time I specially made black sesame and peanut. The filling I made is absolutely natural and has high nutritional value. Originally, there should be some lard in the filling, but I have a 6-year-old baby at home and I still don’t want her to eat these oily things. When eating at home, try to focus on health! But it wouldn’t work without a little oil, so I added some sesame oil to it. They are actually the same thing! In addition to the sugar, I used powdered sugar. If you don’t have it at home, you can use ordinary sugar.

Therefore, celery leaves are more nutritious than celery stems. The habit of eating only celery stems but not celery leaves should be changed.

Matcha filling snowskin mooncake

If you fall in love with matcha, there is no question. The highlight of our snowskin mooncakes is matcha. The difference this time is that matcha is added to the filling. These mooncakes were also made a few days ago, so I kept a few and packed the rest to give away. I always feel that no matter how much I make, I am not getting enough points. I have been working very hard to make mooncakes these days, but the strength of one person is too weak. The mooncakes produced are always a drop in the bucket. One person gives away more than ten or twenty mooncakes, and they are gone soon. Besides, I don’t have that much energy to make mooncakes. There are too many fillings and the wok is small. The finished product only has 500-700 grams of fillings. It takes at least an hour or two to make the moon cake fillings, cook them and fry them. After wrapping a plate of moon cakes, the fillings will be gone soon. Sweat! It’s not a good thing to know how to make mooncakes. Friends who are familiar with them but not familiar with them will take the initiative to ask for mooncakes. I give them or don’t give them. It’s not that I’m stingy and reluctant to give. It’s just that it’s really difficult for one person to give them all. Some friends who haven’t chatted once in a year asked me on QQ as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Or friends or classmates who are far away ask me to send them mooncakes, and they are all classmates and friends who rarely contact me. There are so many people asking about mooncakes. Even if I make them all night long, it won’t be enough, right? It’s so difficult! What to do? I have a child to take care of, so I really don’t have that much free time to fry stuffings and make mooncakes and deliver them everywhere! Dear friends, please forgive me! It’s really not that I don’t want to give, it’s just that I’m really embarrassed. It is said that it will save a lot of trouble if you buy ready-made fillings, but there is no difference between the mooncakes made from the bought fillings and those on the market. Then you might as well just buy the mooncakes on the market and eat them. Why are you making them? The most important thing when giving a gift to relatives and friends is the sincerity. If you put your heart into it, people will feel it is more precious. Therefore, I have been making every mooncake with great care, and I also hope to give my loving mooncakes to every relative and friend I cherish, instead of buying ready-made fillings to fool you. Even if I have to buy fillings, I will buy them from a brand, and I will not pick out cheap ones. My principle is, either don’t give them away, or give them good ones.

Red bean and candied dates rice dumplings

Eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom of the Chinese people. Zongzi is also called horn millet and tube rice dumpling. It has a long history and has many variations. In the Jin Dynasty, zongzi was officially designated as a Dragon Boat Festival food. There are also many shapes of zongzi, generally including equilateral triangle, equirectangular, pointed triangle, square, rectangular and other shapes. In my memory, the most traditional thing in our hometown is the triangular rice dumplings, which are wrapped in big balls, made of two layers of fresh reed leaves, and cooked slowly in a large iron pot. They are cooked the night before the Dragon Boat Festival, usually for 3-4 hours, and then soaked until the Dragon Boat Festival the next morning to eat. . . . . . Because zongzi is made of glutinous rice and is not easy to digest, when eating zongzi, you can drink some tea or sugar water to help digestion. Last year, my mother and I just learned a new method of processing rice dumpling leaves. No need to cook them. Just freeze the fresh rice dumpling leaves in the refrigerator overnight, then take them out and defrost them. The leaves will become soft and easy to use. Please learn it. . .

These are the snowskin mooncakes I made a few days ago. They were all wiped out a long time ago. I only ate one. Now I get a headache when I talk about mooncakes, and I don’t have the passion I had in the past two years. Just frying the stuffing will cost you half your life. It saves a lot of trouble to buy ready-made stuffing, but the taste will be greatly reduced. The fun of DIY lies in the tossing. Dear friends, you can make mooncakes without an oven! The snow-skin mooncakes sold outside are ridiculously expensive and contain a lot of additives, which makes them uneasy to eat. Moreover, the fillings are too sweet and greasy. You can control the amount of sugar and oil by frying the fillings yourself. I finally bought a good matcha powder! The ones I bought before were all earthy in color, neither yellow nor green, which made me sad every time I used it. I could only drool looking at the green matcha color. As a result, I didn't dare to touch this thing for a long time. I bought 50G last time and it was useless until it expired. It had already been in the trash can. Baby Lu saw that these beautiful mooncakes were extremely rare, so she rushed over very quickly and grabbed one. I admit that I can never move as fast as him. Before I could react, she had already taken a bite, and then spat it out on the ground and said, "What a pain!" It’s hard! I said: If it’s bitter, don’t eat it, okay? You can eat something that’s not bitter, and give this one to mom. He refused to do it and tried his best to protect me from eating it. Then bite it and spit it out, and the mooncake is just wasted. After it was over, he cried loudly: Eat! Still want to eat! Sweat! In fact, adults don’t feel bitter after eating it, haha! When matcha meets red beans, there will definitely be a spark of love.

According to this rule, the diary will not be updated after the festival, so I’d better take the time to get it done as soon as possible. This year, most of the rice dumplings are made with meat, mainly fresh meat. There are many flavors. A few days ago, I used pork rib sauce to marinate the meat, and then I used barbecued pork sauce to marinate the meat. In the past two days, I used Shacha sauce. They are all delicious. The food we eat at home is also more casual, and the most important thing is that it suits our family's taste. This is entirely my own practice and is for reference only. I am busy washing, wrapping and cooking every day, and after it is cooked, it is often snatched up. It feels good. There are two ways to make bacon rice dumplings. One is to mix the meat with rice, and add some salt and soy sauce to the rice. This method is suitable for wrapping sausages and bacon. The finished product is salty and delicious, and you will want to eat it. One is to make the meat into a filling, instead of mixing it with the rice, but fill the rice with the marinated meat. This method is suitable for making fresh meat rice dumplings. You don’t need to put salt in the rice. As long as the filling is evenly packed, it will taste just as delicious, and it is easier to operate when wrapping.

You can add garlic vinegar and chili oil, or dip or pour it on the meat. A simple home-style braised pork is complete! If you add some yellow sauce when cooking, then the sauce beef is born! You can use this method to cook other meats, and the spices are not special, just choose the amount you want. Let the soup in which the meat is cooked be cooled and then filter out the spices. Place it in a bowl and store it in the refrigerator. Warm it up before use, add it to a new soup and cook it with the meat for a better taste. This is old soup. Every time you make it, keep the soup in this way. As time goes by, you will have a soup that has been around for a long time!

If you want to eat them, you can make a few that suit your taste. When the rice dumplings are cooked slowly, the glutinous and warm love of the family is blended in... My family likes to eat salty rice dumplings, so I used salted egg yolk, chestnut, and fresh meat as fillings, and glutinous rice, adzuki beans, and rhubarb rice as the skin. Both the skin and the fillings are not tasteless. When the aroma of rice dumplings fills the house, open the rice dumpling leaves. The chestnuts are soft and glutinous, the egg yolks are salty and fresh, and the flavor of the meat is just right, not salty but not bland. Paired with a bowl of light cucumber shredded soup, it is a warm memory of summer.

Good luck---pork skin jelly

Early last month was my father-in-law’s 80th birthday, and the whole family gathered together to wish him a happy birthday. I was inspired by a fish-shaped fish skin jelly served during the dinner. My carp mold has not been opened yet, so why not use it to make this too? However, the fish skin jelly served in the restaurant was a bit fishy, so I switched to pork skin. Not only does it taste better, but it also has a good texture, is easy to remove from the mold, and the image is more realistic. The private room for the birthday banquet is called Songhe Hall, which is antique. On the wall are pictures of Songhe prolonging life and Magu offering longevity. My daughter noticed it as soon as she came in and told her the details one by one. I was secretly pleased, it seemed that my daily guidance had worked. My family likes to travel. If there are traditional Chinese wood carvings and stone carvings in the tourist attractions, I will explain them to my daughter, and slowly let her understand the meaning of traditional Chinese decorative patterns, and how to give things auspicious meanings through the homophony of Chinese characters. The bat symbolizes blessing, the vase symbolizes peace, the three sheep represent the three Yangs, the lotus symbolizes harmony and beauty, etc. Later, wherever I go, my daughter can carefully observe and ponder, and she is very interested in it. I saw it in my eyes and enjoyed it in my heart. Firstly, my daughter and I had another topic for communication, which brought the relationship between mother and daughter closer. Secondly, this also made a small contribution to the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and fish is an indispensable dish in every family’s New Year’s dishes, which means there is more than enough every year, good luck, and good luck. Moreover, her daughter’s pen name is Xiao Carp.

[Laba Porridge] Cook the fragrant porridge. This kind of multigrain porridge is cooked on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It has been done since ancient times. I won’t tell you the origin, it’s a sacrifice, worship to gods, celebration or something else. There is no way to verify the original method, and the interpretation will be different in each household, but the need to eat this special meal on this day has never changed. Country people have the simple wishes of country people, that is, they hope that their families will be healthy, their crops will be abundant, and their livestock will be prosperous. Therefore, not only the whole family must eat Laba rice porridge, but also the trees in the yard, the livestock and the crops in the field must taste Laba rice porridge. When we were young, we didn’t get everything we wanted like we do now. On Laba day, my mother usually used corn grits and noodles and some kind of beans to make a weird salty rice called Laba rice. I can still vaguely remember the taste of this kind of rice. I will go back and ask my mother for the specific recipe and copy it once. Today's Laba porridge uses eight kinds of ingredients, which are very casually matched. If these foods happen to be available, they are used.

Add ginger to cakes and biscuits to add flavor and to repel cold. Over time, gingerbread has become a snack associated with Christmas. This led to the emergence of gingerbread markets in Europe, which would provide gingerbread in different shapes according to different seasons. Among them, Nuremberg in Germany is known as the gingerbread capital. There is also a legend circulating in the UK that if an unmarried woman eats gingerbread, she will meet her ideal partner. On December 6, St. Nicholas' Day, in northern France and Germany, godfathers and godmothers will give gingerbread cookies in various shapes, such as heart stars and human shapes, to children on this day, or secretly put them into the socks that children look forward to. Gradually, gingerbread was combined with fairy tales to make gingerbread houses of various shapes, and Americans even pushed the atmosphere of Christmas gingerbread houses to the extreme.

[French Mooncakes] Does it sound like the French also make ‘mooncakes’? Do they also celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival? In fact, French mooncakes are made of French cake body and imitating Chinese mooncake fillings injected into the cake body, so they are called French mooncakes. The mooncakes look like cakes on the outside, but they have a different flavor when you eat them. The production process and tools are still more than traditional mooncakes. Although the production process is long, the texture when you eat it is worth the time. The skin of freshly baked French mooncakes is actually the same as Cantonese mooncakes, that is, it is 'hard'; it takes a day of 'oil recovery' before the skin becomes soft and shiny. Therefore, it combines the structure of French and traditional mooncakes. There are several different flavors in this mooncake, including cheese and chocolate. The picture above is a French mooncake with cheese and chocolate flavor. It is surrounded by cream cheese and has a very smooth texture.

It is made one month before Christmas every year, and the whole family gathers together every week before Christmas to cut it into thin slices and eat it until Christmas arrives.

I was surprised to find that the thick powdered sugar didn’t have such a sweet taste. I really admired the traditional taste that has been around for hundreds of years, and it can really capture people’s tongues and hearts.

Brown sugar bean paste mooncake filling

Generally, white sugar is used to make fillings, but brown sugar has higher nutritional content than white sugar, so I chose brown sugar to make this red bean paste filling. Brown sugar usually refers to finished sugar cane with honey. It generally refers to the honey-containing sugar formed by squeezing sugar cane juice, simple processing, and concentration. Brown sugar water was the most common and practical brown sugar health drink in the early days. Brown sugar water is also helpful for women to have smooth menstruation. It can warm the body, increase energy, activate qi and blood, speed up blood circulation, and make menstruation smoother. If you feel low energy and poor complexion after menstruation, you can drink a cup of brown sugar water with a concentration of about 20% before lunch every day. If the symptoms of discomfort are severe, you can drink another cup before dinner, and it can be effectively improved after one week. The glucose contained in brown sugar releases energy quickly and has high absorption and utilization rate, which can quickly replenish physical strength. Children with problems such as insufficient Qi, loss of appetite, and malnutrition can drink brown sugar water in moderation on weekdays. People who suffer from abdominal pain due to cold and are prone to colds during menstruation can also use brown sugar ginger soup to dispel cold. For the elderly and frail, especially those who have just recovered from a serious illness, brown sugar also has an excellent tonic effect in curing deficiency. For the elderly, eating some brown sugar in moderation can also dissipate blood stasis and activate blood circulation, promote bowel movement, relieve liver disease and improve eyesight.

Now he finally got married, which fulfilled the wish of my eldest sister and brother-in-law. I would like to sincerely wish my nephew a happy wedding, a happy family, and a rising career! When I go home, I can’t bring a lot of things with me. Besides, everything is sold at home now. Even though it’s a rural area, small supermarkets now have all kinds of products. Some homes in the city can’t even buy them! Yesterday I baked two batches of mooncakes and gave them to my family to try. These are handmade mooncakes without preservatives or additives. I fried the bean paste filling myself. I originally planned to stir-fry white bean paste, but I added too much water when cooking. Finally, I added red beans and cooked them together. When frying, I added four small packets of coconut powder. The thick coconut-flavored bean paste filling is very sweet and not greasy!

Candied Date Zongzi

Speaking of zongzi, I have to be sentimental for a while. The year before last was the first time that I taught netizens how to make zongzi as a food instructor. The night before, I walked four streets to buy red dates and sago in Wumart Supermarket. I also went to the farmer's market to buy large yellow rice, round glutinous rice, zongzi leaves and blood glutinous rice. I planned to make a few different ones. Although I usually pack a pack, I don’t pay much attention to the appearance and it’s not that pretty, so I downloaded a video to watch it at night, then soaked a few ingredients and prepared it a little. Early the next morning, I went to find a table in the corner of the No. 1 cafeteria and took pictures while wrapping rice dumplings. Many aunties in the cafeteria came to learn the art on the spot. Haha~ I borrowed a good friend's SLR camera and went to the big rooftop of the girls' dormitory to take a set. I also went to the second floor of the canteen where almost no one went but the table was very beautiful to take a set. I was reading Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" at the time and used it as a prop~ Two years have passed in a flash. The rice dumplings I have eaten are divided into different categories, but there are only a few types of rice dumplings that I like. Candied date rice dumplings are the top favorite. No matter what novel styles and novel fillings, the old-fashioned rice dumplings are the most lovable and I can never get tired of eating them. I've watched "The Incredibles" many times, and the sentence that impressed me the most is noschoolislikeoldschool. Yes, no matter how good the game is, it can't compare to the old school.

My favorites are clear water rice dumplings and pork rib rice dumplings. This year, my son asked not to make salty rice dumplings. I listened to him and it made me worry less. There was a pack of dates in the refrigerator that I bought a long time ago, so I washed and ate some of them. Half of them were left, so I took them to the store to make red date rice dumplings. I peeled one off when I was taking pictures, and I ate the rice dumplings after taking the photo. The red dates were okay, very sweet, and the flesh was very thick. There was no taste of traditional Chinese medicine in my mouth. I ate three of these unprecedented red date rice dumplings. Haha, the rice dumplings are delicious only if they have good dates~!

【Cordyceps Flower Spare Ribs and Huaishan Soup】---The sixth dish of New Year’s Eve ‘Shoushan Fuhai’

During the year, I am busy with work and have to eat and entertain. I guess I am used to big fish, big meat and greasy food. But it seems like it would be a loss of face not to eat well when treating guests. If we are having New Year’s Eve dinner at home, I don’t think it is necessary to spend a lot of money. As long as you eat healthy and nutritious, it is more important than anything else. Nowadays, both the elderly and children pay attention to health. One year has gone by too fast, and my parents and parents-in-law have become one year older. This means that they have lost another year of their lives. They are lonely a lot of the time. Nowadays, many people have mobile phones and computers and keep their eyes on them. Some even go so far as to eat without leaving WeChat on their mobile phones. When I got home, I put down my computer and mobile phone to chat with the elderly and talk about daily life. Sometimes I feel that the elderly are like children who need to be cared for and loved by us. When we go home, we spend more time with the elderly. In the past, we always liked to buy some big fish and meat when we went home. The old people always said not to buy too much, it will be a waste, but it seems to be a habit. It’s true that I can’t finish it, and it really doesn’t taste good in the refrigerator. I think it would be better if it was lighter this year. Then buy some practical things for others and spend more time with them. I also wish them and all the elderly a long life and good health.

Peach kernel loofah

Walnut, also known as longevity fruit, is one of the four major dried fruits. Its rich nutrition and many benefits of regular consumption will not be discussed here. Its main functions, which are suitable for autumn, need to be mentioned. Walnuts can nourish qi and blood, moisten dryness and resolve phlegm, warm the lungs and moisten the intestines. In early autumn when the weather is dry and windy, it is still very good to eat more. I like to add peach kernels to dishes, but if they are not handled properly, they will taste astringent. Mima is the kind of busy person who cannot sit down and peel the soaked peach kernels one by one. For a while, I just soaked it for a long time before eating it, and it tasted pretty good. But the problem came again. Mima originally planned to eat peach kernels tomorrow morning, but she didn't get up as planned in the morning, so the soaked peach kernels were naturally not used. She happened to be away from home for lunch at noon. When she got home in the evening, the peach kernels might have a strange smell, so she had to throw them away. I tried the blanching method twice and it felt good. It’s convenient, fast and doesn’t waste anything. It’s great. Haha, foodies will always find a way!

Private recipe revealed - Cantonese style lotus paste and egg yolk mooncakes

The first time I made Cantonese-style lotus seed paste and egg yolk mooncakes was last year. I made them because my roommate in the dormitory wanted to eat the mooncakes I made. Although I made a lot of them, I decided to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing and left without sending them any mooncakes. So most of the reason why I made them again this year was to make up for last year's regrets and I thought I would make them for my roommates. . Let’s talk about mooncakes. This year, by chance, I met a pastry expert and got a lot of good pastry recipes from her. Among them, this Cantonese-style mooncake is a super easy recipe. That’s why today’s Cantonese-style mooncake is very satisfying, both in terms of the preparation and the finished product. I think it’s no worse than those made by cake shops. .

Baidu experience: Opium fish is one of the aliases of flatfish and a type of flatfish. The side of the body is flat and asymmetrical, and both eyes are on the left side. Anterior position of mouth, protruding mandible. The edge of the preopercular bone is free. The skin on the side with eyes is dark gray or has patches, and the skin on the side without eyes is white. There are also many productions in various coastal areas of my country. It is mainly used as fresh food or canned and dried salted products. Cod liver oil can be extracted from cod liver. In particular, the flounder species is a rare fish from the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea in my country. The flesh of the opium fish is tender and white, and it is delicious and plump.

lazy rice dumpling

Every time when I was drying the rice dumplings, I also heard the voices of other people. They said that they really wanted to make rice dumplings, but they were clumsy and couldn't make them. So I was thinking, can I design a rice dumpling that is easy to make and can taste the aroma of rice dumplings? After experiments, Guozi made this semi-naked lazy rice dumpling. Those who know how to make rice dumplings can also try this flavor once. I feel that the taste of half-naked rice dumplings is completely different from traditional rice dumplings. Traditional rice dumplings are completely wrapped and can be very glutinous when boiled in water. Half-naked rice dumplings are steamed, so they taste much less glutinous. Because they are half-naked, the rice on the surface will easily harden when exposed to air for a while after being taken out of the pot. It is recommended to make a small amount each time, as long as it is enough to eat, and it is best to eat it while it is hot. However, they all have the fragrance of reed leaves. If there are too many wraps and you haven’t finished eating them, wrap them in plastic wrap and steam them again before eating, which will make them more delicious! Here, Guozi also teaches you a lazier method, which is to put the washed glutinous rice into the pot while cooking, then cut the washed reed leaves into several large pieces, insert more into the rice, and add an appropriate amount of water. After cooking, the house will be filled with the fragrant smell of reed leaves, and you can easily taste the flavor inside the rice dumplings, but this is no longer called a rice dumpling.

Tips for retaining vegetable juices and ensuring that the dumpling fillings are not watery - [Qinxiang Dumplings]

Keep the vegetable juice, do not pour it away. It has been determined that more than 60% of the vitamins in Chinese cabbage and celery will be lost after the juice is removed. In order to avoid nutritional loss and waste, the scientific method is: never pour out the squeezed vegetable juice. When mixing the meat, add it to the meat filling bit by bit, stirring while adding. The meat filling can evenly absorb the vegetable juice and make the meat smooth. Then add the vegetables and mix well. Use this dumpling filling to make dumplings. The soup will not flow when making the dumplings. When eaten, the soup will be full, the taste is fresh and the meat is tender, without losing nutrition.

Zongzi Love Dragon Boat Festival-----[Candied Dates and Ox Horn Zongzi]

The last batch of rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival is finally finished! I originally planned to make some yellow rice dumplings and sago crystal rice dumplings, but the storage capacity of the refrigerator is limited. I will make them after I finish eating them. I left two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves so that when I want to eat them, I can make rice dumplings and eat them even if it is not the Dragon Boat Festival. In the past few days, I have made four kinds of rice dumplings, two sweet and two salty, which satisfy the stomachs of the two foodies in the family. For me, my favorite is the clear water rice dumpling. It does not contain any ingredients and is just made with glutinous rice. I love eating it. I gave some to my friends and kept the remaining ones in the freezer. Whenever I want to eat them, I can take them out and steam them before eating. Zongzi are delicious, but don’t eat too much, as eating too much will hurt your stomach.

Lotus pond stir-fry

Lotus root can clear away heat and promote fluid production, cool blood and stop bleeding; lotus seeds can clear the heart and refresh the spleen, nourish the heart, calm the mind and improve eyesight; water chestnut can clear away heat and relieve heat, replenish qi and strengthen the spleen. The three are tender and stir-fried. They have the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, strengthening the spleen and calming the nerves, and are suitable for consumption in summer. If paired with carrots and snow peas, it will be visually eye-catching and taste crisp and refreshing. It is suitable for people who suffer from a loss of appetite due to heat in the hot summer. Taking advantage of the fact that lotus roots and water chestnuts are just in season and are fresh on the market, it is also a pleasure to stir-fry a plate in your own kitchen during your free time and take in the taste of summer

Eight-treasure Rice

Eight-treasure rice is an indispensable part of the Spring Festival dinner table. In the past, eating a cup of eight-treasure rice was a very happy thing. What I liked most was digging out the small piece of bean paste inside. Now I can also make eight-treasure rice. Of course, it must be filled with plenty of ingredients, and it must be full of bean paste. Use glutinous rice that is so sticky that it sticks to your lips to entertain your relatives and friends.

I made it for the Lantern Festival. I have been shopping around the world of food for two or three years, but I have never learned how to cook something to eat. I am really grateful. There are so many gourmets and I feel like I can never finish learning~~~~
