When I returned to China this time, I drank lotus root soup three or four times. It was powdered lotus root and I enjoyed it. But I didn't eat the lotus root. <br /><br />I bought three-section lotus root from a China store two days ago. It's crispy. One section was used to cook pork ribs, and the other section was stir-fried with sour and spicy lotus root. This section was left to make lotus root dumplings. It's just that the quantity in one section is too small, so I can only make these five small ones. It's okay to give T a taste, but there are not enough plugs/(o)/~<br /><br /> Lotus root dumplings in Hubei are famous traditional snacks. Without adding any other ingredients, use 100% lotus root to make round seeds, fry them in the pan until golden brown, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Dip it with chili sauce and eat it will be enjoyable. Share it with everyone.

People who heard about burning plums for the first time may associate them with plums. In fact, the method of roasting plums and roasting wheat is similar, and the shape is very similar, except that the filling is different. Roasted plum is the name of Hubei. There is a saying for Shaomai because there is no opening on the top and the pleats are like wheat ears flowers, so the name is Shaomai. Roasted plum is named because the skin is rolled out with a hammer to form the edges of plum blossoms and steamed like blooming plum blossoms.
Wuhan Breakfast Huanxituo

Wuhan Breakfast Huanxituo

Huanxituo is one of Wuhan's specialty breakfast. It's a bit like hemp balls in the north, but it tastes more like fried glutinous rice balls wrapped in sesame seeds and white sugar. <br /><br />When it was freshly fried, it was round and crispy; when biting open, it was half-air inside, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside; because there is sugar filling, you should be careful when eating it, which is very hot for your mouth. <br />In those days, it was still quite extravagant to eat delicious food like Xiang Huanxituo. Because of its festive name, it is deeply loved by people. <br />In childhood memory, it is the best choice to eat breakfast too early. Soft, glutinous, sweet, delicious but not greasy! <br />Nowadays, people pay more attention to a healthy diet, and fried food has gradually declined from the breakfast market, or even disappeared... Happy Tuo, which represents a festive breakfast and is about to withdraw from the historical stage.

Glutinous rice is rich in calcium, iron and protein. It is ground into powder to make cakes or boiled into porridge to increase appetite and nourish nutrition. Especially suitable for people with weak bodies. It has the effect of replenishing qi and replenishing blood. It is a healthy and natural food. <br /><br />Glutinous food is loved by both young and old in my family. Sticky foods such as rice cakes, glutinous rice cakes, and rice dumplings are also very popular. My mother-in-law used to steam glutinous rice and eat two large bowls, but now she avoids eating it because of her health reasons. Zongzi and glutinous rice balls can be seen in my house all year round. They are stored frozen in the refrigerator and taken as they please...<br /><br /> Bean skin is popular for breakfast by Wuhan people, and my family is no exception...

The Wuhan plot of Wuhan people is very serious. <br />Being too early is naturally a very important thing every day. <br />Wuhan has a lot of snacks too early. Every year when I go back, I have several kinds of breakfast. I can't eat enough delicious food. <br /><br />Hot-dry noodles are naturally my favorite, but unfortunately you can't buy alkali noodles outside, so I never make them. <br />However, bean skins can be done by yourself. Although you don't have that big pot, you can make a small portion for yourself. <br />Trouble is trouble. But with one bite, what you eat is more than just a piece of bean skin. It is also a nostalgia for my Greater Wuhan.

Shaomai is available all over our country, but the names are different from place to place. For example, Shanxi is called Shaomei, Hubei is called Shaomei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are called Shaomai, etc. <br />Wuhan's famous snack-heavy oil roasted plum is also the northern steamed wheat. The roasted plum fillings in Wuhan are not much different from the roasted wheat fillings in the north. The difference is that the roasted plum fillings in Wuhan are very distinctive. They pay attention to putting diced pork, mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the heavy oil, as well as a beautiful seasoning "black pepper". Because the black pepper is a little spicy, but it is absolutely fragrant and smooth. <br />In order to enhance the toughness of the dough, my pumpkin noodles use freshly cooked hot pumpkin to heat the noodles, and then add a ball of cold water. It has a unique taste and is sweeter and fragrant in the mouth.<br /> The difference is that, considering the hot weather and too greasy can damage the spleen and stomach, I just didn't put too much fat meat. But the taste is definitely authentic, Wuhan roasted plum with a strong black pepper flavor.
