Bread
By VicentaLakin
many friends don't know how to read the word "bread" for the first time. in fact, the shaanxi people call it "gang cake" and many sian people only know that "gang cake" doesn't write. zeng four times. it is actually a container that is very large and deep, a container with small holes at the bottom. it has been said that it has been born in the late days of the primitive society, that it has been made in the era of neo-rocks, that the era of commerce and commerce has evolved into a form of brass, that the iron has become iron, and that it has been welded with white leaves in recent years. the old cake, first and foremost on its cooker, is made of a boiler made of the oldest steamer, which is also known. in the late stages of the primitive society, there has been a new wave of pottery in the era of neo-solithics, which has grown into copper and iron later. since then, the iron cooker has been in circulation for generations. this iron is shaped like a cylinder and has many air holes at the bottom. consider it a pot for now. i don't know why i read "gang cake." in addition to the ancient cooking tools, the pastry has evolved from the food “spray” that was the exclusive preserve of our princes more than 3,000 years ago. qin's "powder" is a cake that is evaporated with soybeans in the rice powder and does not leave dates until tang dynasty becomes evaporated. tang dynasty, the chinese emperor's "crystal treasure" and the present-day pastry are the same. there is also a “little mirror cake” in xi'an which, because of similar pronunciations, is often confused by some outsiders. one of the most common early morning snacks in the sian is "snakes," and it can be seen everywhere that the merchants who put a big pot on the car are selling "snips." the pastry is absolutely one of the most popular early points, and the sian people, whether spring, summer, autumn or winter, have a good taste, because it is made of date and rice, especially for young women who love sweets, and is an absolute devotee of cake. a brief introduction to the term "cooked cake" is based on strict requirements for rice (traditionally no spicy rice) and dates (best in the form of pyrotechnic hair) of 10 kg per pot of rice, 3 kg of rice, scabs, water and firework. and it's a home-grown practice, now that the "snake" is accompanied by "snakes", where the sweetness of the steamed soybeans and the sweetness of the date, and the softness of the rice, add to the feeling on the tip of the tongue. and my favorite is not the date, but the soybeans of sand. sian's famous for making cakes is the southeast asian pastry on humin street. that's because his family's practices and raw materials are different from tradition and other homes. first, his family chose to pick the date of the date, so it was better to be sweet. secondly, his family had more dates (and, of course, much more expensive) than other traders. thirdly, his home's "porcelain" is so dense that rice eats just as much water. why? it's because his rice doesn't bubble in advance, it's just dry steam, then water is sprayed and steamed all night. so the rice is less watery and evaporated. but one of the disadvantages of his cakes is that they can't get cold enough to eat, and they're hard-hearted. so let's just go home and make some rice. actually, i'm not the one who loves his family's cakes. i like beans more. his dates are sweet. huh. and let's say the selection is 10:3 for the traditional pastry rice and date, and it's made at home according to its own demographic taste. i suggest you add some bean, which is better. the choice of dates: the best of dates can be replaced by the best of dates in supermarkets, or, if no date can be evaporated with some ice cream, the less sweet ones can be chosen only for dates, but as sweet as possible. sweetness is the most characteristic of cakes. the choice of beans: the choice of red beans or flower beans, the white beans are too big, the red beans are too small to taste the same. the choice of rice: the choice of round rice is made at home, much more sticky than the long rice, and more q. let's look at the pastry i made at home. it's really not real. it's called a pastry when it's evaporated. but it's good we smell at home. family production, which is objectively restricted, has to be faced。

DoneBread Make Tips
Tips: 1. Follow my instructions above regarding ingredient selection and choose the best ingredients possible. 2. The beans must be soaked overnight, but there is no need to soak the rice. 3. Ensure sufficient steaming time so that the jujube fragrance fully permeates the rice and the beans become tender and soft with a fine texture. 4. Sprinkle some water before the final steaming; otherwise, it will turn out dry inside. 5. Be careful not to burn your mouth when eating it hot.
Serving Tips: Zeng Gao can be eaten hot or cold; each has its own unique flavor, but traditionally it is eaten hot for breakfast. Eating it cold also offers a distinct flavor; I personally love eating it cold. If circumstances prevent you from eating it hot, you can reheat it after it cools. Frying it with oil is even "superb." Everyone knows that when "sugar" and "oil" combine, it creates an absolute heavenly delight for those with a sweet tooth. Of course, if you don't prefer that, you can boil it into porridge; it definitely surpasses Eight Treasure Porridge. Just thinking about it makes me crave a bowl to warm up. Friends can also get creative with their own variations. I have tried pan-frying it; it is quite good, similar to fried sticky rice cakes dipped in sugar. In short, it is simply delicious.
Ramblings: Perhaps many friends think, isn't this just red date sticky rice? Actually, you can understand it that way. But "Zeng Gao" is definitely not just simple "red date sticky rice"; otherwise, people in Xi'an wouldn't travel far and early just to eat it. Only what is steamed for a long time in a large "Zeng" (steamer) can be considered authentic "Zeng Gao," and it is difficult to achieve this at home. Precisely because of the long steaming time in a large vessel, every grain of "Zeng Gao" is infused with sweetness, and every date is permeated with the aroma of rice. I assume everyone has eaten sweet red date rice, right? However, everyone who has tasted "Zeng Gao" speaks highly of it, exclaiming that there is such delicious "sweet red date rice." This is also why I chose to use a pressure cooker for steaming. Even so, it is still difficult to make truly excellent "Zeng Gao" at home. Here, I am just briefly introducing the Xi'an snack—"Zeng Gao" to everyone. In the future, if there is an opportunity, I will present more authentic Xi'an snacks and Shaanxi cuisine to you. You are also welcome to come to Xi'an and Shaanxi in person to taste the food and experience the culture. Just leading the way for you here for now, haha.
