Right now, it's the season for the edamame harvest, and there is a traditional snack in Jinshan Tinglin Town, "Tinglin Burnt Beans" (炙音 "ze"), which is made from edamame processing. At this time, farmers will select the best edamame, add salt and sugar to taste and stir-fry, and then bake them on low heat for 8 hours, and the delicious and chewy beans will be baked.
Early in the morning, at the house of Zhang Yindi, a resident of Tinglin, several aunts were peeling edamame. Aunt Zhang introduced that the taste of hot beans is good or not, and the choice of edamame varieties is very particular. "With a little red edamame, it tastes sticky. Another edamame with a greener color will be harder to eat. ”
After washing the peeled edamame with water, add salt and sugar to the pot and stir-fry, wait half an hour to collect the juice, then spread the edamame in an iron sieve, put it on the coal stove and cook over low heat.
"When the fire is hot, it can't come up, it's easy to burn and stick to the bottom, and it usually takes eight hours." Aunt Zhang said.
Freshly baked beans have a shiny appearance and a fragrant bean flavor. Aunt Zhang recalled that when she was a child, there were fewer snacks, and the elders would make hot beans to relieve hunger, but now that the material conditions are better, every season, she will still make hot beans and share them with relatives and friends.
Villager Wang Qunying said: "It feels quite fresh, a little chewy, and the taste is very good." ”
