Hecai is a dish that stir-fry leeks, shredded pork, vermicelli, bean sprouts, and tender spinach. It is a very particular dish in northern China. It has two characteristics: first, it is a strong seasonal season and is indispensable for the beginning of spring; second, eating "stir-fried vegetables" requires spring cake rolls to taste the flavor. <br />After eating spring cakes and vegetables, willow blossoms and catkins, and Yan whispers, spring is coming. "Four Treasures" once recorded: "On the beginning of spring, people in the capital (referring to Beijingers) make spring cakes, lettuce, and spring plates." There is also a poem that says: "Biting spring radishes is as crispy as pears, and eating leeks everywhere." Stir-fry leeks, shredded pork, vermicelli, bean sprouts, and tender spinach together to get "mixed vegetables". If you cover it with an egg pie, it will be the famous food in Beijing,"mixed vegetables Dai Hat". Beijingers call it "Full of gold and silver".
Tomatoes and egg noodles are new

Tomatoes and egg noodles are new

The day before yesterday, my father-in-law came to Xi'an alone, but my mother-in-law did not accompany her. The old man missed his precious granddaughter. <br />I'm not very good at taking care of people, and my father-in-law is not particularly willing to express my personal preferences, so I can only express my care for him from the small things in my life. Yesterday, the temperature suddenly dropped in Xi'an. Seeing that he was wearing so thinly (not even a sweater), I couldn't bear it, so I quickly ran out and bought a set of thick warm clothes. After he put it on, I never saw him use a tissue to wipe his nose again. Alas! How pitiful people are when they are old! <br /><br />I really don't know much about my father-in-law's living habits, so I can only guess from my husband's description what meals he likes to cook. But one thing I know is that he especially likes to eat noodles, and he likes to eat lasagna. As a result, there was today's handmade lasagna with tomato and egg gravy made specially for him. <br /><br />Said it was tomato and egg noodles, but it was actually not so simple. Because I specially added white jade mushrooms (a type of crab-flavored mushrooms), this bowl of noodles is no longer single in terms of taste and nutritional value. Because it was previously understood that crab-flavored mushrooms are especially suitable for people with constipation, frail people, cancer patients, cardiovascular disease patients and developing children, and the father's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are not good, it is definitely very suitable for him to eat. <br /><br />The sour aroma of tomatoes combined with the toughness and smoothness of white jade mushrooms, the fragrance of eggs combined with the crab aroma of mushrooms, that's great!

It is said that once, Empress Dowager Cixi became tired of eating the food in the palace and wanted to try something new. So, the imperial chef thought about it and decided to make a new dish with glutinous rice flour wrapped in red bean paste. As soon as the new dishes were prepared, a eunuch named Xiao Donkey came to the imperial kitchen. Unexpectedly, the little donkey accidentally touched the newly prepared dishes into a basin containing soybean noodles. This worried the imperial chef, but it was too late to cook again at this time. There was no choice, so the chef had to brave the courage and present the dish to the Empress Dowager Cixi. When Empress Dowager Cixi ate this new thing, she thought it tasted good, so she asked the chef,"What is this thing called?" The chef thought for a moment and realized that it was all the trouble caused by the eunuch named Xiao Donkey, so he said to Empress Dowager Cixi: "This is called 'donkey rolling.'" From then on, the snack of "Donkey Rolling" came into being.
