Beijing snacks

In Beijing, which is becoming increasingly international and cosmopolitan, although many snacks seem to be outdated, Beijing snacks are "living fossils" of the thousand-year history of the capital. Each snack has its historical roots and cultural origins. <br />Beijing snacks embody the Beijing-style complex of Beijingers and arouse my nostalgia. Therefore, eating it in your mouth is not just delicious food...<br /><br /> Donkey rolling is one of the oldest varieties of snacks in Beijing. Its raw material is yellow rice flour, water, soft and steamed. In addition, stir-fry the soybeans and grind them into flour. When making, stick the steamed yellow rice noodles with soybean flour, roll them into slices, then apply the red bean paste filling (you can also use brown sugar) and roll them up, cut them into small pieces of about 100 grams, and sprinkle with white sugar. When making, the filling is required to be evenly rolled, with clear layers, and a yellow appearance. It is characterized by aroma, sweetness, stickiness, and a strong flavor of soybean powder. <br /><br />Bean flour cake uses soybean flour as the main raw material, so it is called bean flour cake. But why is it also called donkey rolling? This is an imaginary metaphor. Putting yellow rice noodles in soybean noodles and rolling them is like raising dust when a donkey rolls in the countryside, hence the name. Even predecessors have questioned this point. In "Yandu Small Food Miscellaneous Songs", it is said: "The brown sugar and water fillings are cleverly arranged, and the yellow noodles are buried in the beans. He Shiqun calls 'Donkey rolling', which is close to humor." He also said: "Soybeans stick to rice, steam, wrap them with brown sugar and water filling, roll them in fried bean noodles, and sell them on a plate. It is called 'Donkey Rolling'. It is incredible." It can be seen that the name of rolling donkey had been established at that time. Nowadays, many people only know the nickname, but they don't know its name. Nowadays, many snack bars in Beijing serve donkey rolling all year round, but most of them no longer use yellow rice noodles and use Jiangmi noodles. However, soybean flour noodles are still rolled outside, and the color is still yellow. It is a snack that Beijingers have always loved.

Beijing has a wide variety of snacks and various foods. There are steamed, roasted, fried, boiled, fried, stewed, dried, thin, enough to fill the stomach, and enough to relieve hunger. <br /><br />Today, make a fried snack called "cream fried cake". It is said that cream fried cakes were learned from foreigners after the Gengzi Year in 1900 and later improved. The ingredients are flour, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, etc. Some of which are similar to the Western Puffs I usually make, haha, they just taste a little chewy. As soon as this thing came out, it became very popular among old Beijingers. <br /><br />Today, let's make it, a Beijing-style "cream fried cake".

Beijing's snack "Noodle Tea" is delicious and simple. It also contains a certain amount of calories as breakfast. Drinking a bowl makes you feel refreshed all day long, haha! <br /><br />In the past, old Beijingers were quite particular about drinking noodle tea. They did not use chopsticks or chopsticks to carry the bowl. They also took advantage of the heat and rotated around the edge of the bowl and sucked it into their mouths. Hehe! I stir and scoop it up. I watch others suck it, and I feel a little loose when I hear the sound and look at it again. Hehe! Don't say it, this is just a tradition of eating, and it is also Beijing's unique Xiliuer culture. <br /><br />"Noodle Tea" All adults and children in Beijing love to eat it. Eating this kind of food regardless of class. Everyone from the people who pull carts and ride tricycles comes together to sip it. It looks quite interesting! In the past, I thought the smacking sounds in the breakfast shop were too loud, so I usually cooked them at home. Now that everyone is civilized, it is difficult to hear that annoying smack sound coming from the mouth anymore! <br /><br />Although "Noodle Tea" is simple, it has a high nutritional value. It accounts for all the oils, carbohydrates, vitamins and crude fiber. It is quite fragrant once in a while. After eating it, the taste will attract you to come next time, haha!
