Spring pancake rolls are the staple food that almost all Northeastern people like to eat. Bake a few cakes and make bean sprouts or shredded potatoes. Bring a bowl of millet porridge and you will have a simple and nutritious meal. The main nutrients contained in flour are starch, followed by protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Bean sprouts also contain a lot of vitamins. Bean grains contain 20-24% protein, and protein contains various amino acids essential to the human body. Fat 0.5-1.5%, carbohydrates 55-654% and various minerals and vitamins. The simple, delicious and easy-to-make spring pancake rolls and vegetables will never get tired of eating them.

During the first month of the Spring Festival, spring rolls are always eaten several times at home. They are usually cooked when there are guests at home. The fried fillings are full of ingredients, have a variety of varieties, and have a stronger flavor. Look, it's a big pot! Everyone doesn't have to grab it, they can eat as much as they want! They are usually eaten directly in the foreskin. The weather is cold and the outer skin is cold, so I will take some to fry and eat it. It is very crispy and hot. If you are afraid of getting angry, you will still choose directly in the foreskin and eat it!

Soba noodles are very nutritious and have certain lipid-lowering and blood pressure effects. Friends with high blood lipids may wish to eat some often. However, it is not advisable to eat more soba noodles. People with poor appetite and poor digestive function should eat less. <br />Koreans and Japanese also like to eat soba noodles. South Korea's cold noodles are made of soba noodles added with wheat flour and potato starch. The buckwheat flour accounts for more than half of it. It tastes very strong, smooth and has a very good taste. <br />Today, I use soba noodles to make an old Beijing snack called "soba noodles braised cake". This snack can be eaten hot and cold, but it is more authentic when eaten cold in summer. The practices are as follows;

Tofu pudding is easy to succeed. Put boiled soy milk for three to five minutes to reduce it to about 80 degrees, add some lactone, and let it sit for a while. The key is the amount of lactone. <br />Use 1g lactone for 50g of dried beans. I don't have a scale, so I just measure the spoon and cup. The water should be 7 times the volume of dried beans. It doesn't need to be very precise and should not be too thin. <br /><br />The cup size of soybeans I use is the kind of rice cooker that comes with it. A 160ml cup is about 170g of soybeans. 1 cup of dried beans, 7 cups of water, 2 teaspoons of lactone (1ml teaspoon, about 3.5 g, the density of lactone is 1.72)

In the past, there was a simple and delicious appetizer called "Golden Cake Mixed with Sydney" in imperial kitchens and official dishes. "Golden cake" is "hawthorn cake". The Manchu people in the Qing Dynasty called it "Golden cake", which means very precious. Although hawthorn cake is relatively simple to make, it comes from the court and the government, so its value has doubled! <br />"Golden Cake" is made by removing the core of hawthorn, boiling it with white sugar, and then solidifying it in a basket. It has the effects of appetizing and eliminating food stagnation. "Snow pear" is called "Snow pear". Snow pear has the effects of clearing the lungs and soothing the throat. It can be used to make autumn pear cream and moistening lung syrup, etc., and can also sober up. It is delicious and has a health-care effect when paired with golden cake. It is also an exquisite side dish in the imperial dining room. <br />Today, we will use old Beijing specialties "Golden Cake" and "Snow Pear" to make this simple and delicious hangover dish, called "Golden Cake Mixed with Sydney". The method is as follows;
