Quanzhou, Fujian has a long history, it has been developed in the Zhou and Qin dynasties, and it was "the largest port in the East" in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and was praised by Marco Polo as the "City of Light". Enjoying countless reputations, it occupies a place in the coastal areas of our country, has many ports, has a suitable climate, and its geographical location is also very important. Since ancient times, it has also been a place where soldiers must fight. Therefore, some Minnan culture and food culture have also come into being. The People of Southern Fujian also generally worship Buddhism, and almost every family offers gods and immortals to protect what they think in their hearts and have their own beliefs.
Calm and peaceful city breeze
With a Minnan song that brought me back to The Soil Shoot Jelly in Quanzhou, Fujian Province," there is a Hokkien song that is familiar to Fujian people: "The soil shoots are frozen, the soil shoots are frozen, the best to eat the real Port (authentic), under the foot of the sky (bottom), the cage (all) is really rare, and we are alone in our hometown out of this... Sour vinegar mustard coriander aroma, chicken duck fish meat Nguyen (I) are not rare, especially love our hometown bamboo shoot jelly, wow, wow, want to make soil shoot jelly. ”
Crystal clear
What is the jelly of the earthen shoots? Don't worry, officer, it is summoning these friends who do not know the truth in a demonic appearance. Vegetarians should not be confused by the name Oh, "earth shoot" is not a bamboo shoot, but a kind of bug, the scientific name is "star worm". Although it looks very frightening, but the body flesh of the star worm is rolling, like a full bamboo shoot, the taste is also crisp, so the southern Fujian region calls it "earth shoots", the earth shoots are rich in gum, boiled will solidify into a freeze, dipped in sauce to eat, especially refreshing. The soup is also the most delicious. It's really a dedication of my life.
Quiet, rustic, occult
When I saw the earthen shoot Buddha, I was a little flustered.
There are two legends about the origin of the jelly:
1: According to legend, when the national hero Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan, there was a shortage of grain and grass for a period of time. Zheng Chenggong ruled the army strictly, insisting on not accepting any financial support from the people and not taking a needle and a thread. Soldiers and Zheng Chenggong, on the other hand, ate only soup made of earthen shoots every day. In order to recover Taiwan as soon as possible, Zheng Chenggong, who was worried about the country and the people, often forgot to eat, and his subordinates often had to warm the earthen bamboo shoot soup again. One day, Zheng Chenggong did not want his subordinates to warm up for him, and directly ate the frozen earthen shoot soup, but he did not expect that this taste was better than the earthen shoot soup, and inadvertently Zheng successfully invented the earth shoot jelly! The soil shoot jelly gradually spread, and the production method and condiments were continuously improved by later generations, forming a widely known earth shoot jelly! And the most famous of Anhai, it has now become the intangible cultural heritage of Quanzhou City.
Zheng Ying might say yes yes, it's me.
2: The second is related to the national hero Qi Jiguang, during the Ming Jiajing period, the Wukou invaded the southeast coast of China, and Qi Jiguang led his troops to resist the Wu. Due to the shortage of food, he ordered the jumping fish, shrimp, crabs, and snails on the beach to cook soup together, and when catching crabs on the beach, he accidentally caught a kind of sea earthworm, and the soldiers put it alone into the pot to cook soup. When Qi Jiguang finally dined, only the frozen sea earthworms were left, and he had to draw his sword to take a piece to taste, not expecting that this delicacy was more delicious than fish and crabs, and since then the frost of the earth shoots has spread. According to the "Chronology of Events in Quanzhou", "In the first month of the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564), Wukou entered Quanzhou County, killed men and women in Jiancheng and Humei. After three days of siege of Anping, the general Qi Jiguang fled. It can be seen that Qi Jiguang went to Anhai in 1564 to fight against the Wu, so his invention of the earth shoot jelly has its historical basis.
No matter how varied the historical legends were, they were fortunate to have survived. Let the diners who fall in love with him always remember this taste, unforgettable.
This big brother ate a small expression of satisfaction.
From the perspective of nutrition, star worms are rich in protein, a variety of amino acids and trace elements, so it is known as the reputation of "beach sausage", and the folk also say that "there are winter worms in the mountains, and there are star worms in the sea", which shows the nutritional value of soil shoot jelly. However, this thing is relatively cold, and people with bad spleen and stomach should still eat less, otherwise it is easy to diarrhea.
How to make the jelly of the earth shoots:
The earthen shoots began to be a little uneasy.
The sea soil shoots are constantly ground with a stone mallet to roll out all the internal organs. Put the soil shoots into clean water, rinse the soil in their bodies, and pick them up when they are white and bright;
Put the pot on the fire, pour the water and the sea soil shoots into the pot together, put in the salt, boil until boiling, the gum seeps out and then scoop up the soup, pack it in a small porcelain bowl, sit in the open air overnight, naturally cool and condense into a solid (in the summer, it will be put into the refrigerator to condense);
Picked out with bamboo skewers and accompanied by seasonings such as chansamic vinegar, soy sauce, and minced garlic, there is a raw and delicious taste for people to enjoy.
My soul is gone, but my body is still there.
