Steamed lion head with mushrooms and vegetables

Speaking of private dishes, I think my lion's head is very private, because my husband likes steamed lion's head, and must add vegetables. He doesn't like pure meat. Therefore, my family's lion's head is added with suitable vegetables, making the famous lion's head become my family's private dish. The lion head I made today not only adds lotus root to the meat, but also uses mushrooms and vegetables as a bedding. It is steamed and does not need to be fried. It does not taste greasy at all, and because of the addition of mushrooms and vegetables, it tastes very delicious.

【Jiangsu】Jianhu Lotus Root Rice Balls

Lotus root rice balls are probably the most regional snack in my hometown, or the most distinctive dessert. I have loved it since I was very young. The cooking method is exquisite and the finished product tastes smooth and sweet. It is said that this was an imperial dish of the Qing Dynasty. After an imperial chef of the Qing Dynasty retired and returned to his hometown, he brought the method of making lotus root starch dumplings back to the Huduo area of my hometown. Then this palace snack spread in Huduo to this day. If you have tried its taste and texture, you will definitely feel its delicacy and sophistication. It is well deserved as an imperial dish! There is a saying that meat balls, fish balls, and lotus root balls are used together in the same banquet, which means connecting three yuan. Lotus root balls also have a beautiful meaning: Couples are made in heaven, and good marriages are made forever...

It can warm and soothe the heart that is sometimes confused and overwhelmed! Let it be safe and sound in the love and warmth of delicious food!

Braised lion head

The braised lion's head used to be delicious, and it was Dudu's favorite. Let’s take a look at the legend of braised lion’s head! Legend has it that lion head means big meatballs in Yangzhou dialect, and big meatballs or Sixi meatballs in northern dialect. It is said that its distant ancestor is Tiao Wan Zhi recorded in the "Shi Jing" of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty traveled south along the Grand Canal, he was very nostalgic for the four famous scenic spots in Yangzhou: Wansong Mountain, Qianqian Dun, Ivory Forest and Sunflower Hill. After returning to the palace, he ordered the imperial chef to prepare dishes based on these four scenes, so he ordered four dishes: squirrel mandarin fish, money shrimp cakes, elephant bud chicken strips and sunflower chopped meat. In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zhi, the Duke of Xi State, saw that when the dish of sunflower chopped meat was served, the sunflower heart made of huge meat dumplings was exquisite, like the head of a lion. So the sunflower chopped meat was renamed "lion head". As soon as Bainuo was called, the famous dish of lion head was added to Yangzhou from then on. Since it originated in Yangzhou, it is clear which place the braised lion's head is a dish, it is Jiangsu Yangzhou cuisine. Now that you know its origin, let’s taste the delicious food together.

Do not chop it too finely, so that there are gaps between the meat to retain the juice. Another important point is the container, which should be simmered over low heat, preferably a casserole.

【Yangzhou】Stewed Lion Head

Stewed lion head is a traditional famous dish of the Han people in Jiangsu and belongs to Huaiyang cuisine. The taste is soft, fat but not greasy, and rich in nutrients. Braised in braised or steamed, it is a popular dish. As someone who has lived in Yangzhou for a long time, I am very familiar with Lion Head. Every time I go back to my husband's house during the Chinese New Year, my mother-in-law will not only prepare a large table of dishes, but also stew a large pot of fragrant lion's head. However, for people who don’t know much about lion heads, they often think that lion heads are just large meatballs, but this is not the case. Yes, it does look like a big meatball at first glance, but once you taste it, you will realize that the difference between them is not only in appearance, but also in texture and taste. In terms of cooking, lion head is relatively particular. First of all, the meat filling for making the lion head is not minced by a machine, but chopped by yourself, first finely and then coarsely. The final shape of the meat filling must be in the shape of granules, not pureed meat. In this way, when you enter the mouth, you will clearly feel that the texture of the meat will be more distinct. Then, it is slowly simmered over a slow fire to make the protein in the meat become extremely delicious. When you finally eat it, it feels loose but not loose, fresh and delicious, and has a melt-in-your-mouth feeling. Although this was the first time I made the lion's head, it was very delicious. Even my husband, who refuses to eat fatty meat, raved about it and ate several of them in succession.

Delicious steamed crabs in golden autumn

The autumn wind blows and crabs' legs itch. Today, the boss bought a lot of crabs to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance. The crabs are big enough, more than four or two crabs each. In this way, the crabs with plump crab roe, tender meat and delicious meat are only steamed in the upper drawer to retain the umami flavor to the maximum extent, and then accompanied by shredded ginger and balsamic vinegar, it is really a mouth-watering delicacy. Crabs that walk sideways are naturally unfettered. I feel like a domineering president, but when I took the photo, I discovered that the president was missing a leg~ Crabs are the star of Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies. At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, whether steamed or stir-fried, there is always a delicious crab dish. This period is the best time to eat crabs. The crab paste during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year is plump and yellow. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most plump time for river crabs. This means that female crabs are eaten in September of the lunar calendar. At this time, the female crabs are most mature and have rich crab roe (ovaries). Male crabs are eaten in October of the Gregorian calendar. After the National Day, the crab paste (testes) of male crabs is more abundant. This is how the Nine Heroes and Ten Yellows came about. Crab is recognized as a delicacy in food, so there is a folk saying that it is a dish that tops the table. Crab not only tastes delicious, but is also rich in nutrients. It is a high-protein food that is very beneficial to the body. Gourmets compare eating crabs to the most solemn event in autumn. This outlook on life and food affects many people. Eating crabs is a leisurely cultural enjoyment. In the golden autumn, drinking crabs with wine, admiring chrysanthemums and reciting poems is a major life enjoyment for people. GODOFMERCY original.

As a native of Huai'an, I grew up drinking water from the Huaihe River and lusting after lion heads, and I have always had a soft spot for it.

When I was a kid, I was happiest when I went to a banquet with my elders, because at the end there would be my favorite lion head, which was full of happiness and satisfaction. Most people in Huai'an specialize in braised lion heads. After living in Yangzhou for many years, they gradually became assimilated to the local eating habits and followed the local customs. Now they prefer the braised method. I have tasted some lion head dishes from other cities, but rarely taste the taste of my hometown. Maybe it’s because of my state of mind. The texture of the lion's head is loose but not loose, fat but not greasy, and rich in nutrients. It is delicious braised or stewed. The Crab Meat Lion Head is made of crab meat and minced pork meatballs. It is even more tender and plump. The crab meat tastes delicious and melts in your mouth. Just thinking about it makes people salivate and want to gorge themselves. Yangzhou people also call it chopped meat. There are many ways to chop meat, such as stewing, boiling, frying, etc. I prefer the stew method. Today, let’s make a famous dish from my hometown – crab meat and lion’s head.

They all say that you should eat Qingtuan during Qingming Festival, but I don’t have this impression. It is said that Qingtuan is made with mugwort/aiqing noodles. I don’t know if they are the same kind of grass. I have never seen them for sale and I don’t know them. Watching the excitement on TV, I couldn’t help but want to join some youth leagues. There is ready-made black sesame filling, but I can’t find the grass for making the dough. I rolled my eyes and decided to use chrysanthemum, which is all wormwood anyway. 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. Written and directed by myself, I blanch chrysanthemum chrysanthemi in water, puree it, and knead it into the noodles. The kneaded dough looked quite green, but I didn’t expect it to turn out dark green when steamed. It was really amazing. . .

Good Luck (Less Oil Braised Lion Head)

This is a typical southern dish. Because it has a good meaning, it is a delicious dish that is often served on the New Year’s and festival tables. This dish has been around for a long time, and many of the dishes that have been handed down have their own stories. For example, the story of Kung Pao Chicken that I first heard came from Du Niang. It talks about the legendary lion head, which in Yangzhou dialect means big meatballs. In northern dialect, it is called big meatballs or Sixi meatballs. It is said that its distant ancestor is Tiao Wan Zhi recorded in the "Shi Jing" of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty traveled south along the Grand Canal, he was very nostalgic for the four famous scenic spots in Yangzhou: Wansong Mountain, Qianqian Dun, Ivory Forest and Sunflower Hill. After returning to the palace, he ordered the imperial chef to prepare dishes based on these four scenes, so he ordered four dishes: squirrel mandarin fish, money shrimp cakes, elephant bud chicken strips and sunflower chopped meat. In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zhi, the Duke of Xi State, saw that when the dish of sunflower chopped meat was served, the sunflower heart made of huge meat dumplings was exquisite, like the head of a lion. So the sunflower chopped meat was renamed "lion head". As soon as Bainuo was called, the famous dish of lion head was added to Yangzhou from then on. So I learned that the birthplace of this southern dish is Yangzhou, and the version of lion head I made today is slightly different from Yangzhou lion head. It contains glutinous rice and water chestnuts, which I like. I like the soft glutinous rice and water chestnuts. The small particles have a crunchy texture. Some places also add eggs when making lion heads. When I tried making it, I used deep-frying according to the original recipe. As a beauty lover, I really can't stand a lot of oil in the pot, let alone the food. After putting it in the pot, I decided to change the method to make the lion head. In fact, the purpose of deep-frying is to use high oil temperature to shape the lion head. I moved the lion head to the oven and used high temperature to set the shape. At the same time, some of the fat in the pork will leak out. Although the leaked fat will flow into the soup in the last step, which is more delicious, my lion head is undoubtedly the least harmful to people. There are too many people with high fat!

【Jiangsu】Three delicacies braised pork skin (one of the six bowls in my hometown)

Every place has its own unique food culture and local customs. This includes banquets. In many places, there is a saying that there is no banquet without fish, and there is a saying that there is no banquet without chickens. And in my hometown, which is a relatively beautiful and quiet place, there is a custom that no one can sit without a meal. Regardless of New Year's Eve or weddings or funerals, the first bowl of dish must be pork belly. (The fat is scraped off the skin of the meat, air-dried and deep-fried. Finally, the water is released. Then it is cleaned and added with various side dishes and simmered with broth.) When I was a child, I didn't like this dish. But I fell in love with it for the first time now that I am an adult and in a foreign land. So many times, the reason why a piece of food makes you like it may not only be because of its taste or texture, but also the memories and culture it carries... It's New Year's Eve, relatives and friends far away in my hometown... Happy New Year to all of you dear to my heart! Happy New Year to everyone at Meitian!

Famous dish—squirrel mandarin fish

Squirrel mandarin fish is a classic dish in Huaiyang cuisine. It has always been listed as a top delicacy at banquets in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. This dish is made from mandarin fish. After killing it alive, the backbone is removed, and the fish meat is cut into a cross knife until it reaches the skin. It is dipped in dry starch and cooked. The mandarin fish is fried for a second time in a golden color, with the head raised and the mouth open, and the tail slightly raised, resembling a squirrel. When the marinade is poured over the body of the mandarin fish while it is still hot, it will make a chirping sound, just like a squirrel chirping, so it is called squirrel mandarin fish. According to legend, squirrel mandarin fish evolved from squirrel carp. When Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River and wandered to Songhe Tower, he insisted on eating fish in order to entertain the emperor. The chef suddenly got the idea and fried and cooked the carp that was offered to Marshal Zhao Gong on the altar. Later, carp was replaced by mandarin fish with sparse bones and tender meat. There is a poem about peach blossoms and flowing water with mandarin fish fat. Therefore, the best time to taste squirrel mandarin fish is March and April every year. The squirrel mandarin fish cooked by Suzhou Songhelou is the most authentic and famous. The characteristics of this dish are that it looks like a squirrel, has a beautiful shape, is sour and sweet, has a bright color, and is crispy on the outside and loose on the inside.

The two ingredients are used to make soup separately. Many people don’t like it. For example, I drink neither fish soup nor mutton soup. But as long as the fish and mutton are stewed together, the fish will no longer be fishy and the mutton will no longer be sour, leaving only freshness. The soup made with mutton and crucian carp has a Jiangsu flavor. It is made with a unique method and is not fishy or smelly. It is a good choice in the soup. This soup is delicious, replenishes qi and blood, and replenishes deficiency and tuberculosis. It is most suitable for consumption in winter.

Although times have changed and everyone's living standards have improved, the custom of shaving one's head and eating waist cakes during February has still remained! The so-called waist-supporting cake is actually a flat, oval-shaped flat cake made from glutinous rice flour, with a slight concave in the middle, like a human waist. In the past, farmers worked in the fields all year round and believed that eating this kind of cake would prevent waist pain when doing farm work in the yellow plum season, so it was called waist cake. There is an ancient poem that says: Cut the rice cake into short strips and fry it in green oil until it becomes tender and yellow. The wind is hard to control every year, so I blame Wu Niang for her thin waist.

For the cardiovascular system, it can reduce the cholesterol content in the blood, prevent arteriosclerosis, and at the same time expand the coronary arteries, which is helpful in preventing high blood pressure and myocardial infarction; shrimp meat also has the functions of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, tonifying breasts and resisting toxins, nourishing blood and solidifying essence, removing blood stasis and detoxification, replenishing qi and nourishing yang, unblocking collaterals and relieving pain, appetizing and reducing phlegm, etc. There are many ways to cook shrimps, and the healthiest way is to boil them directly in salt water, because shrimps and crabs will be re-contaminated during transportation, and bacteria such as halophilic bacteria will multiply in large numbers. Therefore, steaming is the safest way to cook seafood. When the cooking temperature reaches 100 degrees Celsius, continue for a few minutes until it is thoroughly cooked, thereby killing the bacteria and parasites hidden in the seafood. Especially children, the elderly and the frail and those with weakened immune systems.

When I was young, I seemed to think that this was a superstition of adults. As I grew up, I began to understand the pious intentions behind it! Because I will also be pious because of love.

Because I love, I would rather believe that my pious intentions can allow the loved one to be protected and blessed by God...

Soybeans are cold-pressed to produce soybean oil, and then the bean dregs become bean cakes. This thing cannot be thrown away. There is also a set of machines that crush the bean cakes and squeeze them into this kind of bean gluten. In terms of raw materials, it is actually soybeans.

Xishi Tofu—a traditional famous dish from Zhuji, the hometown of Xishi

Xishi tofu is a famous traditional dish in Zhuji, my hometown. Almost every family will cook it at the New Year’s Eve banquet. Zhuji is the hometown of Xi Shi, one of the four beauties in ancient times. This dish is often served as the first dish at any banquet, whether it is building a house, celebrating a new year, or a wedding, birthday, celebration or funeral banquet. It is also a home-cooked dish often cooked by the common people. Xishi tofu is commonly known as meat tofu. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xishi, a beautiful woman from Vietnam, was ingenious and good at cooking. The tofu she made was smooth, tender and tasted great. People followed suit and called this dish Xishi tofu. Later, Xishi pledged herself to the country, and in order to commemorate her, the villagers made this dish the first dish at the banquet, and it has been followed ever since. This dish is cooked with different ingredients in different households, but a few of them are indispensable. Chicken soup (or stock), with local chicken as the top priority, tofu, winter bamboo shoots, and other ingredients such as mushrooms, fungus, ham, carrots, etc. When I was a child, chicken gizzards and chicken intestines were usually included in the house, so I also used it today. The final starch thickening is also important. If it is thick, it will affect the taste. If it is too thin, it will not form. You can add it in small amounts in batches. The traditional starch is usually sweet potato starch, but I use corn starch. This dish is rich in texture. The smooth and tender tofu contains crispy diced winter bamboo shoots and chewy diced chicken gizzards. It can be eaten alone or poured over rice. It is a delicacy loved by all ages.
