What's the delicious way to eat rat grass?

See also Rat Grass and Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. There is a clear sky in Wan Li, and it is drizzling, but warm sunshine is also common, which is the breath of spring.

In Zhou Jun's view, rat grass is a kind of food that is particularly homesick.

In Luotian, Xishui, Yingshan and Hong 'an in Dabie Mountain, Tomb-Sweeping Day will eat a snack called "Soft Baba", which is similar to the custom of eating green meatballs in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Of course, the usual practice is to make it soft.

After picking it back, wash it with clear water, then mash it into slurry, pour glutinous rice flour and soft bran into a basin, add appropriate amount of boiling water and stir it vigorously. Chopped rice flour is pasted with glutinous rice flour, kneaded into dough with warm water at 60℃, black sesame mixed with white sugar, made into round cakes, and then baked into soft cakes with low fire.

Unlike glutinous rice flour and wheat flour, you must use boiled water instead of adding a lot of water. The dough is light green and soft.

If the dough is rolled thin and shaped directly, fried on fire or steamed on fire, it will be soft.

But if it is made into a youth league, it will be more worthy of the name. Generally, the fillings are fried and mixed first. Making cakes with stuffing is a delicate and technical job, which most people can't do.

The filling method is to cook salted egg yolk, put it into a pot and press it into a paste, add meat floss, add appropriate amount of water and stir-fry until the hardness is moderate. Mix egg yolk powder with sugar, adjust the sweetness, and add cold water to make a paste. This is the stuffing.

Take a small ball of rat grass glutinous rice paste, press it into thin slices on your hands, put a proper amount of stuffing on it and knead it into a ball;

Put it on oiled zongzi leaves or tin foil, put it in a boiling water pot, cook for 10 minute, take it out, let it cool, dip it in boiling water with your hands, put it on the surface of Qingming fruit, wrap it with plastic wrap, and store it in the refrigerator.

As soon as I mentioned the mouse's stick, I immediately thought of the mouse's stick. The mouse stick is a product that Chaoshan people are very familiar with. It is the oldest and most Chaoshan snack in Chaoshan, and it is also the taste that many people abroad miss their hometown. Chaoshan people like to make glutinous rice from knotted grass. The fiber of knotweed grass makes glutinous rice skin full of toughness, and the toughness is full of chewiness, giving off the fragrance of natural knotweed grass, which was my favorite taste when I was a child.

In my hometown, it is a kind of wild vegetable that can be seen everywhere. Chaoshan plain has a warm climate, which can be seen all year round. Every year, after rice is harvested in 10, young rat grass will appear in the field one after another. I remember when I was a child, I often went to the fields to pick rat grass with my friends during the winter vacation. Every time I return home with a full load, I give it to my relatives and friends. Chaoshan people prefer to be rats-Song-Song-Song-Song-Song-Song-Song, also known as "Chinese New Year-Song-Song-Song-Song-Song-Song-Song-Song". Now many food stores sell them every day, and you can eat them whenever you want.

The making of rat interest incense

The first step in making a mousetrap is to boil the skin with a mousetrap. Usually, after picking mouse yeast, young leaves are picked, then washed and dried, and then beaten with a stone mortar. After repeated beating, mash the yeast mud of the mouse until it is rotten, and then cook it with sesame seeds and oil. This will take several hours. Stir the cooked rat koji mud with glutinous rice flour while it is hot, and knead it into a ball as a cake crust.

Then divide the lump into small pieces, knead it into round cakes and wrap it with salty and sweet stuffing. There are several kinds of sweet fillings, including peanut fillings, which are peeled and mashed after frying and added with white sugar as fillings; Add sugar to red beans or mung beans to make bean paste stuffing; There are fillings made of black sesame seeds and melon books. Salty stuffing includes mushrooms, glutinous rice, diced meat, shrimp, peanuts, spices and so on. You can wrap it any way you want.

After filling, put it in the "peach" seal, then put it on fresh banana leaves and steam it in a steamer. The fragrance and rhythm of mouse grass and banana leaves blend into a unique and charming taste.

The efficacy of rat qu Xiang

Rhamnus chinensis, also known as Pulsatilla chinensis, is a commonly used medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. It is sweet in nature and has the effects of promoting digestion, strengthening the spleen, nourishing the stomach and removing fire. Daqu is suitable for most people because Daqu grass is added, which can regulate middle jiao and qi and eliminate gastrointestinal stasis.

Now is the season for rat grass to feed. Tian Ai, also known as Cai Qing, is another name for Qu Cao. Rodents have the function of eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm.

During my stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people used to use sage to make Baba in Dong nationality areas bordering Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou provinces. Pick fresh sage, go home, clean it and put it in a clean cloth bag.

Keep beating the juice, then pour the wort of the mouse into the glutinous rice flour and stir it to make an embryo. Then wrap the leaves of zongzi into squares, tie them tightly and steam them in a steamer.

And the stuffing wrapped in Baba embryo is fried with soybeans. The freshly steamed Baba is soft, smooth and palatable, giving off the unique fragrance of Daqu.

Besides the China on the tip of the tongue, the pickled fish, bacon and flower fish in the Dong area are also very distinctive.

Sauerkraut (pickle), sour radish, sour soup fish and chopped pepper all add a lot of color to Hunan cuisine. There are only five Dong autonomous counties in China, four of which are in Hunan.

People's comments on several hot pepper-loving provinces: "Sichuan is spicy, Guizhou is spicy, Yunnan is fresh, Shaanxi is salty, and Hunan is sour and spicy", which shows the influence of Dong sauerkraut.

The glutinous rice cooked by sage is also very distinctive, and I want to share it with you. Wash and chop sage, and wash glutinous rice.

Put the wok on the fire, add shredded onion and stir-fry until fragrant, add sage and sprinkle with salt and stir-fry until cooked. Pour the glutinous rice into the rice cooker, add appropriate amount of water, and mix in the cooked rat grass.

After boiling, cook the rice with a small torch and eat it.

Speaking of sage, I think of a folk song of Shouning, which goes like this: Sage is easy to cook, and it's strange all year round. For me, it is just right to pick the grass and fry it on the fire; Pancake pan, pancake pan, pancake pan, pancake pan. My sister asked me to taste it first, and my mouth watered. Mousetrap: one of the local specialty snacks in Shouning, which is deeply loved by the people. Fresh green mousetraps are picked and chopped and mixed with rice paste. Usually, the rice we cook is soaked and ground into rice slurry. Now, with mechanical grinding, we can also use flour instead, but rice slurry is better. Put lard in the iron pot (personally, lard smells better). When the oil is heated to 60%, scoop up a proper amount of mixed rice slurry and fry it in the oil. The thinner the better. After frying, the edges are crisp, the inside is tender and fragrant, and it is not greasy at all. In the cold winter, eating a hot rat koji is delicious and warm, and I like to eat spicy Chili sauce, which is called refreshing. If you come to Shouning, you will find many rat fried food stalls on the street, with 2.5 yuan on the first floor.

Rodents also have antitussive effects. Take fresh grass stew to drink, and the effect is very good.

We call mugwort here, which has no bitterness and is accompanied by a faint fragrance. It likes to grow in abandoned rice fields or vegetable fields during the spring drought. This Qingming grass is used to make Alba, which is made by every household during Qingming. Chop the fresh wormwood just picked from the ground together with its small yellow flowers, then add glutinous rice flour and white sugar, stir well, and then put it in a pot and fry it slowly. Remember not to put too much rice flour, so that the fried Alba will be more fragrant and delicious, even if it is cold, it will not harden!

Fujian is a place with many snacks. We basically chop up this grass and add rice paste to make a snack, which is called rat koji cake. It smells good.
