Dried sweet potatoes, also known as dried sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes, is a traditional cuisine of the Hakka family in Gannan, Jiangxi, and is produced in eighteen counties and cities in Gannan Province. Gannan Hakka dried sweet potato production process is basically "three steaming and three sun", the specific methods are similar, and the finished dried sweet potatoes produced are naturally also small and different. On the whole, Gannan Hakka dried sweet potatoes are brown in color, crystal clear, soft and sweet, and are popular with consumers.
I was born in the countryside, and when I was a child, my family also dried sweet potatoes. At that time, the production process of dried sweet potatoes was simple and rough, generally selecting large sweet potatoes, washing them, cutting them into small pieces, cooking them in a large iron pot, and then fishing for four or five days of exposure, which could be stored and eaten. However, a small amount of dried sweet potatoes are not ripe, and when dried, they are as hard as the bark of the tree. At this time, the dried sweet potatoes are steamed again with rice, and the hard pieces disappear, and the dried sweet potatoes become soft and sticky. Now the dried sweet potato production process is more exquisite, after the second steaming, followed by the third steaming. The dried sweet potatoes made in this way are brown and translucent, the color is attractive, sweet and delicious, especially the preserved fruits in Beijing, which is loved by everyone!
When I was studying, I once tasted the famous "Nankang Distillery Lees Sweet Potato Dried". Nankang lees dried sweet potatoes as the name suggests is in the process of steaming, adding the lees of Hakka glutinous rice wine, the sweetness of the food after drying, the aroma of wine around the nose, three days endless, endless aftertaste, want to give up! The production process of Xingguo farmhouse dried sweet potatoes is slightly different from the Dried Sweet Potatoes of Nankang Distillery Lees, and the sweet potato sugar juice during the cooking process will be poured back into the dried sweet potatoes to be steamed, so the dried farmhouse sweet potatoes in Xingguo are particularly sweet and sticky, and there is a special fragrance, which is unforgettable.
Gannan Hakka dried sweet potatoes are more famous huichang poured steamed dried sweet potatoes, Ruijin poured steamed dried sweet potatoes, Yudu red heart sweet potatoes, Xunwu flavor dried sweet potatoes, Longnan jinyu sweet potatoes and so on, which are not introduced here. Although the dried Hakka sweet potatoes in Gannan are delicious, they are not produced on a large scale. Gannan Hakka dried sweet potatoes on the market are basically the products of individual farmers or small workshops, and I hope that one day, Gannan Hakka dried sweet potatoes can create their own unique brands!
