If you talk about the food that has gradually disappeared in the countryside, there are many, such as the spicy batter, sticker cake, sweet potato candy, etc. that I used to eat when I was a child, which is difficult to eat now.
There must be a reason for the things that disappear, either the production is too simple, the taste is too general, there is no need for inheritance; or the production is too complicated, not in line with the rhythm of modern life, in short, some old things are eliminated, some new things appear, whether it is people, or things, this is the law of social development.
However, today in the rural market, found a long-lost rural cuisine, far away, smell a strong fragrance, as the saying goes, "smell the incense off the horse, know the taste of parking", sure enough, in the middle of the street, there is a croquette stall, the male boss is in a hurry to croquettes, the female boss is busy weighing customers.
Balls, can definitely be called authentic rural food, every New Year's Festival, every household likes to entertain guests, or improve life, when I was a child, the rural materials are still very scarce, can not eat several times a year big fish and meat, at that time the local rural planted cotton more, but also more often eat cottonseed oil squeezed with cottonseed.
Although you can't eat big fish and meat, but with cottonseed oil croquettes is possible, with flour, fine powder, green onions, salt and five-spice powder mixed stir into a thick paste, you can fry under the pan, fried balls on the outside of the golden yellow, soft glutinous inside, that kind of aroma can taste a meal can taste two months.
Not only that, but ball soup is also a must-have dish at local rural feasts, but most of the ball soup is charred balls, which are heavier and oilier, but they are especially suitable for making soup.
At the village feast, no matter how other dishes change, the ball soup will always be thunderous, so it can also be seen that the status of the ball in the minds of rural people.
See here, there are friends should have doubts, no, you said the balls, although it is fried food, now everyone eats less, but as you said, now rural people every New Year's Festival or set up a banquet, balls are also a necessity, how to say that it is a fading food?
This is not a ball delicious well, a careless this pass will sell big, today we are talking about this delicious ball, is the "twin brother" of the ball, called mung bean balls.
And the owner of the croquettes in front of you, busy frying, is exactly the mung bean balls we want to talk about below.
When it comes to balls, everyone should be familiar with them, but when it comes to mung bean balls, is it a bit strange? Yes, mung bean balls are a local specialty of Bozhou, which belongs to local cuisine, and friends from other places feel strange and do not seem strange.
Mung bean balls, as the name suggests, the main ingredient is mung beans, as for the accessories, bean sprouts, green onions and ginger and salt and five-spice powder, that's all.
The mung beans and bean sprouts, onion and ginger beat into a paste, and the seasoning mixture evenly, you can fry under the pot, fried mung bean balls, eat crispy outside the glutinous, delicious and delicious, although it belongs to fried food, but the heat detoxification and lipid-lowering effect of mung beans can not be destroyed.
The reason why mung bean balls are gradually disappearing is mainly related to its taste, after all, mung bean flour tastes worse than wheat flour, and chews grainy, compared with the balls fried with wheat flour, more characteristics, less taste.
The owner of the mung bean balls is called Lu Jingkun, 44 years old this year, engaged in this industry for 18 years, according to him, mung bean balls are after all a traditional food, usually there are also sales, but the amount is not large, he usually fried the most or scorched balls, hemp leaves and so on.
But at the end of the year, mung bean balls still have a certain market, because everyone has been busy for a year, we have to improve the taste, especially the rural elderly, still have a special love for mung bean balls, see mung bean balls, it is like seeing a good memory, therefore, everyone has to buy some, so, at the end of each year, mung bean balls can be on fire for a while.
Rather than buying mung bean balls, it is better to say that the purchase is a memory of the past.
Fried mung bean balls, in addition to eating directly, the best way to eat is to soak the soup, go home to cook a bowl of soup, put enough oil and salt sauce vinegar and pepper noodles, put the mung bean balls into it, eat more delicious, mung bean balls after soaking in hot soup, it becomes particularly soft, even if the old man with bad teeth can eat very easily.
Nowadays, selling 10 yuan a catty in the market, most of the day, you can also sell more than 100 catties, the overall income is OK, after all, traditional things, more or less some market.
