Yunnan is truly a magical place, almost every town is pleasantly scenic and has its own characteristics. The town of Xizhou is a town with bai ethnic characteristics, which is close to the ancient city of Dali but few people know about it. The scenery of butterfly springs and ancient villages in Zhoucheng here is extremely beautiful, and there are many special foods, such as a palm of snow, broken crispy rice, Shangguan rice and so on.
Today I want to introduce you to Xizhou rice dumplings, which is also known as broken crisp, which is a kind of wheat noodle scone with a particularly rich sense of layering.
The general Taste of Xizhou Rice Dumplings is sweet and salty. When making, two layers of charcoal are used, the upper charcoal is a fierce fire, the lower charcoal is a low flame, and the lard is brushed on the prepared face blank and baked in the pot, and the grease is brushed several times during the baking process, and the aroma is baked until it is crispy. Xizhou Rice Dumpling has a crispy outer skin and a soft inside, is loved by people, and has clear layers, just like the Nineteen Peaks and Eighteen Streams of Cangshan Mountain, which is really beautiful and delicious.
Wheat flour is the main raw material of Xizhou rice dumplings, the noodles are quite exquisite, to add an appropriate amount of alkali, kneading thoroughly, and then layered with essential oils, sprinkled with green onions, peppercorns, salt for salty taste; add ham, diced meat, oil residue, brown sugar wrapped for sweetness. After making round cakes, 6 at a time, salty and sweet, neatly placed on a round cutting board, and then brushed with oil on the upward side of the cake with a layer of sesame oil, and then baked in a frying pan. About ten minutes later, a pot of yellow, fragrant, crispy and crisp "broken puff pastry" came out of the pot.
I personally think sweet ones are better than salty ones. The freshly baked crispy golden splendor and fragrant waters make people salivate. Taking a bite of the outer crisp is soft on the inside, and it will make a "squeaky" sound, which is quite layered. I especially like the sweet rose filling, and eat a bite full of sweet rose fragrance. But remember to eat it while it's hot!
