Dragon Boat Festival
TristinDoyle
The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival for the Han people in our country. The indispensable activities on this day have gradually evolved into eating rice dumplings, racing dragon boats, hanging calamus, wormwood grass and mugwort leaves, smoking atractylodes rhizome and angelica dahurica, and drinking realgar wine. <br /><br />These days, when making rice dumplings and eating rice dumplings, all you see are rice dumplings wherever you go. Today, for a change, try my family's Dragon Boat Festival Mugwort glutinous rice cake. <br /><br />As we all know, in addition to being an important gynecologic medicine, wormwood also has antibacterial and antiviral effects, antitussive, expectorant, and antiasthmatic effects; it can weaken myocardial contractility; and it can also promote bile secretion...<br /><br /> Previously, when I returned to my hometown during the Qingming Festival, I saw the green and tender mugwort leaves in the fields. I also did not let go. I unceremoniously picked more than 2 kilograms of tender mugwort tips and came back...<br /><br /> The mugwort leaves before Qingming Festival are fresh and tender, not too bitter, and can be made into many delicious foods. In order to taste good, I only used the tips of the buds at the top of the picked mugwort leaves, blanched them all in water, chopped them up, and stored them in the refrigerator. I can take them out to make various dishes and snacks at any time...<br /><br /> During the Dragon Boat Festival, Mugwort leaf glutinous rice cake is mixed with glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, and tender mugwort tip to form a dough. It is wrapped in the favorite sesame and peanut filling and steamed over water. Take a bite, and the aroma of mugwort leaves is intoxicating, coupled with the mellow aroma of peanuts and sesame seeds, it is really refreshing...
