Spring pancake combined with vegetables and caps

Spring pancake combined with vegetables and caps

I remember when my grandma was alive when I was a child, she would eat several meals of spring cakes every spring, commonly known as "biting spring". Every time the meal was cooked by my grandma. Eating with spring cakes is "mixed vegetables", which some people also call mixed vegetables. Although it's just a plate of ordinary stir-fried assorted dishes, there are many things to say and pay attention to. <br />Green bean sprouts must be included in "mixed vegetables", which means that the family is prosperous forever. <br />Then there is leeks. Because leeks are green, they are known as the meaning that spring can keep the whole family safe for a long time. In addition, because leeks are male products, spring coincides with the recovery of all things and the rise of yang energy. Eating leeks will be of great benefit to the body. <br />Then there are fans. Fans represent family ties, which can be expressed as the elderly's concern for their children. The other ingredients are served with some shredded pork, etc., and several ingredients are stir-fried together to make a light and delicious dish. Roll up the vegetables with pancakes while eating. This is called "biting spring"<br /> In the past, after the beginning of spring in Beijing, if you wanted to eat in a restaurant or restaurant, you would pay more attention to it. In addition to the normal banquet dishes, each person must finally be served with a spring pancake and a small plate of mixed vegetable caps. Generally, it is calculated based on the head, that is, two small pancakes per person and a small plate of mixed vegetable caps. The number is only enough to roll two pancakes. <br />"Mixed vegetable cap" actually means frying a small plate of mixed vegetables, then spreading an egg on top, serving with a few slices of sauce pig's head meat, a few cucumber strips, shredded green onions and a small plate of sweet flour sauce. Roll them together in spring pancakes, you have rich meat and vegetables, and it will taste delicious if you bite it in one bite. Hehe! <br />I am the only one at home who keeps everything simple. I don't need meat. I only fried a few spring pancakes, fried a plate of mixed vegetables and caps, and had a delicious meal. As long as the meaning came, it's fine, haha!

I thought about this cake for a long time before making it. I always felt that it was complicated and didn't want to do it, so I delayed it until Christmas. Now I had no reason to be lazy again, so I tinkered with it ~~~~ In fact, it's not as complicated as I imagined, but it's a little troublesome. One cake slice, one sandwich, and one coating, but in actual operation, it would take one day to go in. <br />BUT---A day's hard work is really comparable to the cake after making it!!!!! Not only is it beautiful in appearance, it is also quite delicious. The cake roll is made of a chocolate breeze cake roll. It is mainly delicious in its filling and coating. I use chocolate egg yolk cream for the filling and coating. The coating is chocolate coffee whipped cream. It's so delicious!!!!! I don't eat ordinary cakes after they are cooked. Because it was the first time I made it, I tasted a small piece of this cake. I almost burst into tears when it was delicious... <br />SO--Just take it on my feet. This cake is not only suitable for Christmas, but it can also be roasted and eaten in ordinary times. It's so delicious!!!!! My aunt saw my cake and said at the time that she thought it was very delicious. I would make it for my niece when I go back ~~~~ Actually, I was a little greedy. I will bake one next time and bring it with me. This cake is still relatively big and suitable for people to order more ~~~~<br /> It is divided into three parts: cocoa breeze cake slices, chocolate egg yolk cream sandwich, and chocolate whipped cream coating. The sandwich can also be applied with less. This cake is also called annual ring cake. If you want to highlight the roll, you have to sacrifice the sandwich in the middle, but the best thing about these three parts is the sandwich... So I decisively chose to apply more of the sandwich. As for the annual ring ~~~~~~ As long as the cake rolls are rolled more beautifully, it will be the same. <br />Cocoa breeze cake slices--60 grams of egg yolk, 50 grams of fine granulated sugar for egg yolk, 75 grams of low flour, 1/2 tsp of baking powder, 50 grams of vegetable oil, 30 grams of pure milk, 20 grams of cocoa powder, 40 grams of hot water, 120 grams of egg white, 65 grams of fine granulated sugar for egg white, lemon juice, salt, and appropriate amount of baking powder<br /> Chocolate egg yolk cream sandwich--120 grams of butter, 40 grams of egg yolk, 10 grams of fine sugar, 25 grams of water, 50 grams of fine sugar, 10 grams of cocoa powder<br /> Chocolate whip and whipped cream on the surface--190 grams of whipped cream, 20 grams of fine sugar, 5 grams of cocoa powder, 5 grams of pure coffee powder, 10-15 grams of hot water, water and ice cubes

Christmas 2011 is over, um... Two months... However, I still have to present this Christmas cake. The main reason is that it is the first cake I made at Christmas. I feel quite beautiful, um... Let's also prepare for Christmas 2012, although it's a bit too late o(□)o<br /> Because it was my first time making a Christmas cake, I spent a lot of time thinking before making it. The first thing is the choice of color. The West uses red, green and white as the Christmas colors. In addition, the cocoa color in this cold day is warm and pleasing. Therefore, the four colors of red, green, white and coffee are the main colors of the cake; secondly, the shape of the cake. This is purely a whim of mine, which will be explained later; Finally, I chose the cake body. I hesitated for a long time between Qi Feng and sponge cake, but I still chose Qi Feng. I can only say that I really love it... <br />The Christmas cake is divided into three parts---1) cake main body: cocoa breeze;2) cake edge: red, green and white breeze cake slices;3) gingerbread decoration<br /> Cocoa breeze: 60 grams of egg yolk, 20 grams of fine granulated sugar for egg yolk, 60 grams of low flour, 1/2 tsp of baking powder, 40 grams of vegetable oil, 40 grams of pure milk, 20 grams of cocoa powder, 40 grams of hot water, 120 grams of egg white, 40 grams of fine granulated sugar for egg white, lemon juice, salt, and appropriate amount of baking powder<br /> Red, green and white breeze cake slices: 85 grams of egg yolk, 25 grams of fine granulated sugar for egg yolk, 85 grams of low flour, 1/2 tsp of baking powder, 45 grams of vegetable oil, 45 grams of pure milk, red and green food colors, 170 grams of egg white, 85 grams of fine granulated sugar for egg white, lemon juice, salt, and appropriate amount of baking powder<br /> Gingerbread: 20g egg white, 150g powdered sugar, 5ML lemon juice, food coloring (red and green)

In the past, I was always afraid that I wouldn't be cooked well when I made similar cakes. Sometimes, the outside would be burnt and the inside would still be raw...<br /> Now I have learned a new method. This method is easier to fry because the dough is steamed in advance. You no longer have to worry about whether it is cooked or not. Just fry it a little! <br />Pumpkin contains&lt; starch protein, carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and other ingredients. It is rich in nutrients and is often eaten by rural people, and is increasingly valued by urban people. <br />Pumpkin not only has high edible value. Moreover, it has a therapeutic effect that cannot be ignored. According to "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica", pumpkin is warm in nature, sweet in taste and non-toxic. It enters the spleen and stomach meridians. It can moisten the lungs and replenish qi, eliminate phlegm and eliminate concentrated concentration, remove insects and detoxify, treat cough and asthma, treat lung carbuncle and constipation, and has diuretic, cosmetic and other effects. In recent years, experiments by domestic and foreign medical experts and scholars have shown that eating pumpkin can also treat prostate hypertrophy (pumpkin seeds can treat prostate hypertrophy), prevent prostate cancer, prevent arteriosclerosis and gastric mucosal ulcers, and treat stones.
