Crackle, crackle, crackle... In the afternoon, sitting in front of the computer typing words on the keyboard, is rejoicing, the computer suddenly black screen, the desk lamp on the side of the screen also suddenly dimmed, three seconds of stunned finally reacted, is the community suddenly blackout, think about when the call is not known, how to make good use of this night under the light of no electricity?
This year, without electricity, nothing can be done, no computer can not be connected, electric kettle can not boil water, rice cooker can not cook porridge, books can not be read, accustomed to the light of energy-saving lamps The light of this candle is too dim. So, wrap the ravioli and make up the refrigerator that has been empty for a long time.
Now want to wrap a ravioli, dumplings or whatever is much more convenient, unlike before, wrapped dumplings, wontons, you need to knead the dough and roll the skin, and then buy meat, chop meat, mix the filling, busy for half a day. Nearby meat stores generally sell dumpling skins and wonton skins, stacks of them in food bags, and they buy ground meat fillings, and then buy two stacks of wonton skins. When you buy it home, first pour the minced meat into a small basin, put it in soy sauce and salt, then chop the ginger into minced pieces, chop a piece of green onion, boil a spoonful of pepper oil in a wok, let it cool and pour it into the minced meat.
In addition to the meat filling, I usually add something else, sometimes chopped shiitake mushrooms, sometimes chopped leeks and fresh tofu crushed with a small spoon, sometimes chopped tender cabbage hearts, sometimes chopped shrimp. Every time I wrap the wontons, I will pack more, the wrapped wontons, divided into food bags, put in the refrigerator frozen, when you want to eat, take out a pack of cooked to eat, very convenient, wrapped once, you can eat for many days.
Breakfast and dinner in winter, best for cooking ravioli. Boiled wontons can first be boiled with green onion, ginger shredded, peanut oil pot, like light taste can also add water to the pot to boil directly, wait for the water to boil down into the wonton stew, tear a few pieces of seaweed into the pot, if there is cabbage, spinach and other green leafy vegetables, you can also put a few pieces, and then pinch a pinch of shrimp skin into it, cooked to a ravioli like a winged little swan fluttering in the soup pot, the pink fresh meat ball inside is clearly visible, it is cooked, before turning off the fire, be sure to put on the bright green coriander segments, pepper noodles, Boiled ravioli would be inferior without these two things. Because it is cooked and eaten, before filling the bowl with wontons, you also put sesame oil, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar directly into the soup pot, and a pot of flavorful, rich content, and hot boiled wontons can be enjoyed beautifully.
In our country, a seemingly ordinary food always has all kinds of legends and stories, beautiful implications, and even has profound connotations and long cultural significance.
Ravioli is no exception.
Wontons also have their long history, origin of the name, and legends. The "Dialects" written by YangXiong of the Western Han Dynasty mentions "cake is called wonton", which is a kind of cake, the difference is that it is filled with filling, and eaten after steaming; if it is cooked in soup water, it is called "soup cake". Ancient Chinese believed that this was a sealed bun with no seven tricks, so it was called "Hun Chao", according to the rules of Chinese characters, and later called "wonton". At this time, there is no difference between wontons and dumplings. Over the centuries, dumplings have not changed significantly, but wontons have flourished in the south and have an independent style and appearance. Later, since the Tang Dynasty, the titles of wontons and dumplings have been officially distinguished. That is to say, although they are all wrapped in filling, the wontons have changed their appearance and set up their own portals, and since then, the dumplings are dumplings, and the wontons are wontons.
Perhaps because of its novel appearance, wontons have gradually become a famous snack that is loved all over the country. In different provinces, wontons also have different names, northern China and other places are usually called "wontons"; Guangdong is called "Wonton"; Jiangxi is called "Clear Soup", and some places are called "Bao Noodles" and "Wonton"; Hubei is called "Bao Noodles"; Sichuan is called "Scribe"; Anhui Anhui is called "Baoyuan"; Xinjiang is called "Ququ", etc., which can be described as a variety of names, which can also be seen that people love this kind of food. Although the specific methods and cooking methods of wontons are generally similar, there are thousands of differences in details, so the flavor of wontons eaten in different places is also very different. This is also the charm of food.
The first time I ate wontons, I was still studying in Jinan, because my hometown did not have the custom of eating wontons, every New Year's Festival or relatives came to the family, the more solemn food is dumplings, so I grew up to eighteen or nineteen years old, I have never heard of wontons, nor have I seen and eaten wontons. One Saturday in the winter of that year in Jinan, I studied at school for a day, and at dusk I went to the vegetable market near the school by myself, looked at the various vegetables that were stained with fresh soil, felt the breath of the earth, there were a lot of food stalls in the vegetable market, I was tired and hungry, I met a wonton stall and sat down, I wanted a bowl of hot, fragrant wontons, the small stalls of boiled wontons generally sell small steamed buns, and then I want one or two hot, fragrant freshly caged pork soup buns, one or two steamed buns, one or two steamed buns, Coupled with a large bowl of ravioli, it is already a hearty and sufficient dinner for girls with relatively small meals. After eating the wontons for the first time, it felt quite good, the thin soft and smooth wonton skin, the fragrant meat balls, the bowl also floated with bright green broken leek leaves, smooth seaweed, shrimp skin, coriander, sesame oil and oil flowers, compared to the dumplings eaten in the hometown, the content is much richer. In this regard, I fell in love with wontons and became acquainted with them.
The first time I studied wontons was also when I was in a school in Jinan. I remember that it was Sunday, and the mother of a classmate in the dormitory came to see her daughter at school. The mother was very enthusiastic, with the kindness, kindness and hard work of a mother, the family was relatively wealthy, and the classmates were also interesting, and she lovingly proposed that her mother invite everyone to stew and eat together. Therefore, the old man paid money, and the students in the dormitory, they bought meat, vegetables, noodles, oil, etc. from the market, and everyone borrowed rolling pins, plates, kitchen knives and other tools separately, and the small dormitory was soon lively and busy, some people cut meat and chopped meat filling, some people and noodles, some people washed onions and ginger, when the meat filling was adjusted, the special aroma of meat stuffing was emitted in the dormitory, and everyone felt a strong taste of home, as well as a taste of the New Year. It was that time that I learned to make wontons with my classmates, and among the students in the same dormitory, there may be people like me who learned to make wontons for the first time. After the ravioli was wrapped, a classmate who had previously cooked in the school canteen contacted the canteen, and the master chef also boiled the wontons in a pot with slices of meat in green onion and ginger oil. The ravioli that day was so delicious! Everyone drank a big lunch box of fragrant hot ravioli.
Later, when I came home during the winter vacation, I was very excited to tell my mother about making wontons at school, probably because I was greedy and aroused my mother's interest, in fact, my mother was sometimes very interested in new things, so my mother bought meat and minced meat and noodles, and also wrapped a wonton at home to eat, so that the whole family could taste this kind of fresh food that had never been eaten before. In the following years, there was such a wonton package, and the family was still accustomed to eating dumplings, it seems that eating habits are more entrenched in one place.
The "Chronicle of the Yanjing Dynasty" records: "The shape of the wonton is like a chicken egg, quite like the chaos of heaven and earth, so it is eclipsed on the winter solstice." "Wontons" and "chaos" are harmonized, and folk will eat wontons to "break the chaos and open up the world". I appreciate that statement. How bold!
Okay, so let's have a bowl of ravioli, break the chaos, and open up the world.
