Zanthoxylum bungeanum Guo kui

My mother is not good at cooking, but my grandmother is good at cooking.

When I was a child, I went to my grandmother's house, and my favorite food was her pot helmet. Grandma once lived in Shaanxi for a period of time, and cooking was influenced by it to some extent. When she bakes bread, she often puts a lot of roasted and crushed pepper leaves, which are very fragrant.

However, my mother can't make a Chili pot helmet. After the dough is spread out, knead it evenly, coat it with oil, sprinkle with salt and add chopped green onion, often make cakes with chopped green onion, or directly make chopped green onion cakes with boiled noodles. But I have never made a thick Shaanxi pot helmet, and I rarely put pepper in it.

So you can only taste this cake when you go to grandma's house. At that time, I only thought it was delicious, not rare. When I grew up, I went to Xi 'an to study and tasted the local pot helmet. Only then did I know that grandma's cooking was not authentic, but it didn't affect my love for Guo Kui. Occasionally, I will go out to buy, and I will pick up vegetables and sweet peppers. Even if I eat them with a white mouth, I feel fragrant.

Maybe I ate too much starchy food like this and gained weight quickly in those years. When I left Xi 'an, I didn't eat much Guo Kui. Grandma died many years ago, but I can't taste the taste of memory. It is sold on Taobao, and it is not expensive, but it has been difficult to make up my mind to buy this kind of food online.

I made some noodles in the evening. I was supposed to steam onion oil rolls, but the steamer burned my head. It's dark. Let's burn it. Take out the dried Chili peppers my mother brought, which happened to have Chili leaves. Pick up the pepper leaves, crush them, put them in a small bowl, add salt and olive oil, and set aside.

Ventilate the dough, roll it out, evenly spread the seasoning, fold it, roll it out again, put it in an electric baking pan, and bake it on both sides for three minutes until it turns yellow.

Cut it while it's hot. Although it is not the taste in memory, it is not the pure taste of Guo Kui. However, the taste of pepper leaves is oily and salty, and it has its own unique fragrance after heating.

Food sustains people's feelings.
