The rice cakes in our hometown are called Huangyuan Rice Fruit by local villagers, and their workmanship is very complicated. It is made of special barley rice. It has a yellow air, fragrant and soft quality. To make yellow barley fruits, we must first use a local yellow barley tree, burn it to ash, add boiling water, filter it to gray water (commonly known as pure plant alkali water), cool it, soak the rice overnight, steam it in a steamer the next day, mix the rice with gray water, spread it out and dry, and then steam it and place it in a large stone mortar. Mash it into balls with a hard miscellaneous wooden stick. After picking up the pestle, rub it evenly with your hands to make rice fruits of various shapes. Due to the cumbersome workmanship, we often need the help of close neighbors and friends before we start making it. Therefore, starting from the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, people start making yellow yuan rice fruits one after another. Generally, when my family makes them, my uncles and uncles gather together to help, and then when the uncles and uncles cook them, our family will also help. When the rice fruits are cooked, the whole family will eat rice fruits, drink tea together, which is especially lively!
The process of beating Huang Yuan has a unique interest: several men took turns holding curved rice dumplings that looked like ox-yokes and beat hard around the stone mortar with the outside and round inside. It was so lively! I am intoxicated by the memories of my childhood...
The yellow yuan rice cake made in this way is tough, soft, hot, and has a strong taste. Moreover, because it contains Chinese medicinal materials such as yellow yuan and sophora flowers, it also has the effects of clearing fire and lowering blood lipids.
Steaming is one of the best cooking methods to ensure the taste and nutrition of food. The steamed yellow yuan rice cake has QQ and soft taste, and with a sweet and spicy sauce, it tastes very unique. You must try it!
After eating the golden cake, I wish everyone prosperity and advancement step by step!
