Chaoshan winter solstice Chinese New Year food -- [Cai tou yuan]
Chaoshan area likes to worship God and make all kinds of dumplings to worship God. Different dumplings are made in different festivals. For example, male and female are taboos. At the end of the year, the God of gratitude is usually red shell peach, the Lantern Festival chandelier is oil cone, and the God of wandering games usually have hair cone, sweet cone, oil cone and shell peach. The mother of five grains is the head of a grain. Tanabata bed worshippers are pomegranate buns, double Jialou, and Jiuqu buns. Mid Autumn Festival Fu Su dumplings, Winter Festival New Year cooking first round (radish cake), common cake (potato cake). Among them, my favorite food is caitouyuan and Tongtong cake.The vegetable head is white radish. At the end of the year, a large number of white radishes are listed. It costs only a few cents per kilogram. At this time, the cost of cooking a round head is greatly reduced. There are two kinds of caitouyuan, rice flour and potato flour. The method is the same. I prefer potato flour. It tastes smooth and tender. It tastes a little sweet and tastes good. This is what I did for the Chinese New Year. I just didn't have time to upload it. I just remembered it when I saw the picture today.Step 1 . Prepare white radish.
Step 2 . Peel and wash the white radish.
Step 3 . Prepare all kinds of pots.
Step 4 . Use the vegetable head to make small strips. The white radish slowly became a basket of shredded white radish. In fact, this is a big project. Please be patient.
Step 5 . Because the white radish has a lot of water content, it is easy to drip under the basket!
Step 6 . Clean the peanuts and hammer them.
Step 7 . Remove the juice from the radish and put it into a large bowl. Add peanuts. Add proper amount of salt (according to taste)
Step 8 . Prepare sweet potato flour.
Step 9 . Pour in sweet potato flour (about three jin of vegetable heads with one jin of potato flour) and some of your favorite condiments. Use your hands to "mix" the white radish, peanuts, salt and potato flour, so that they are completely mixed together.
Step 10 . Add more water to the steamer and cook it over high heat.
Step 11 . Bring a big steamer and spread the cooking cloth. (Because the round shape of the vegetable head is not fixed, the cooking cloth is laid to prevent the round vegetable head from flowing out of the hole of the steamer, and the round vegetable head will become ugly after the cooking.)
Step 12 . Grab some and knead them into balls.
Step 13 . Put them into steamers separately after finishing. You can see that peanuts adorn it. Isn't it lovely? Soon a dozen "vegetable balls" were ready. In order to avoid the "deformation" of the head of the dish, put it on the rack and steam it. Of course, there are more than just so many catties of vegetable heads. Because it is not like potato cake, it can be solved once and for all, so do it more times.
Step 14 . Cover the steaming pot with a sealed cover.
Step 15 . It takes about half an hour to get out of the pot. In order to avoid being uncooked, you can take small things such as incense sticks for worship and "poke" the head of the dish round. It is easy to "poke" it in and it will be ripe without white spots.
Step 16 . The hot "round vegetable head" came out of the pot. After cooking, the color of Caitou Kui deepens.
Step 17 . When Caitoukuai is not hot, stick some water in your hands and take Caitouyuan into the large plate. Let's not be idle. The next round of Caitou kueh is ready to be served.
Step 18 . The last step: Make up for the newly produced "Caitouyuan". A little bit of rice red ("rice red" is a food dye), add a little water and stir well. Use a small stick to make a big point on the head of each vegetable kueh. (The larger one can also be placed in the middle, and the other four dots are surrounded by each other) My mother said that this is just for the sake of beautiful worship. In fact, beige is beautiful, but poisonous. Eating too much is bad for your health.
Step 19 . During the winter solstice, we have to make many kinds of kueh. Although we are busy, we are happy.
Step 20 . When guests come, you can cut them into pieces and fry them. Then stick some sauce to eat. It smells good.
