The good news of the recent outbreak is that it has followed,
The weather in Beijing is also getting warmer, and it is spring
Spring is coming, will spring food be far away?
Today we will talk about these in the spring
Beijingers make those delicacies at home!
Spring cakes
If you want to eat in spring, you have to eat spring cake first
This spring cake is only eaten in the spring
Because at that time, the fresh dishes came out
When eating spring cakes, it is also more abundant, and it relieves spring hunger!
Buy meat with sauce, elbows, small belly, bean sprouts, spinach...
Come back and reconcile the noodles and roll them into double layers of pancakes
You can't bake it on a cake and wrap it up with fresh dishes
Take a bite, poof! That's what spring tastes like!
Elm Money Nest Head
In the past, when spring began, I saw Yu Qian'er going to the tree
Put it in your mouth and taste it.
Because the yu qian'er that has just grown tastes sweet, and the more it is chewed, the sweeter it is.
It was a natural snack for bear children when they were young
This yu money tastes even better in the hands of adults
You can make stick noodles, stickers, steamed bee cakes,
Add some pepper oil or sesame oil to the head of the vegetable nest,
Only add Yu Qian'er, and the taste will be fragrant and sweet.
Fried locust flowers
When the locust tree blooms, it can also be picked and eaten on the tree
The string of silver bell-like locust flowers makes people drool when they look at it
Wrapping the locust flowers on top and spreading the eggs is more fragrant
Not only fragrant, but also sweet to eat. The smell of locust nectar
But the children can't wait for the time to spread the eggs
Go up to the tree to pick elm money, pick locust flowers, and directly relieve the hunger when you get it
Still waiting to take it home? Just eat it!
Toon stall eggs
When you think of toon, you can smell toon
Especially the toon around May is the best
Pick the toon buds and take them to the stall eggs to eat, it is so fragrant!
That unique fragrance fills the alley!
Beijingers regard toon as very precious,
It's not really because it's expensive.
But after the season of eating toon, you want to eat again,
There is no land to buy it for how much money it costs.
Fried toon fish
If you don't have eggs, fry the toon fish and eat them
Directly give the noodles to the toon wrapped in fried
You'll find the aroma and tenderest taste of toon!
Toon noodles
Although old Beijingers only often eat tahini noodles in the summer
However, in the spring, you can directly mix the noodles with toon
If you eat a meal of fried sauce noodles in the spring, it will not be monotonous
Of the eight plates of this fried sauce, the unique toon occupies the lead.
Leek box
"Spring onions in the first month, leeks in February", all year round actually love this box,
The old Beijinger's favorite leek box is not what few Beijingers do not have
Or meat, or eggs, or leek stuffing with shrimp skin
Take a bite of the green leek stuffing that leaks out, full of teeth and fragrant.
Definitely eager to eat two bites of rhythm!
Pastries
A huge pastry, burnt brown,
You can smell it from afar. The bottom chews like a pot.
Pastcakes are the old Beijing family relish, the best,
Emerald green leeks, golden scrambled eggs, white shrimp skin...
Cover on a reconciled cornmeal pancake. Not only is it delicious, but it also cleans up the stomach.
Cabbage dumplings
The old Beijing dumplings are inherited from the past
Even today, Beijingers still love to eat vegetable dumplings
When the spring cabbage comes down, you can make this dumpling
Now you can't eat well in the restaurants of the trenches
You have to make your own cabbage dumplings to eat!
Paste collapse
Although zucchini is eaten in early summer,
But the fragrance is fragrant, but there is always the shadow of spring,
Zucchini rub into silk, mix with the noodles into a paste,
Spread out into round cakes. Before it comes out of the pot, the fragrance wafts around
When the pot comes out, there is a faint fragrance of zucchini!
Fried peppercorn sprouts
With peppercorn leaves can be used to make stick noodles or stickers,
But the best thing to eat is to wrap in white batter and fry it.
After a big bite, you know that the taste is amazing
One side is burnt, the other side is soft, and in the middle are spicy, salty, and hemp crispy peppercorn leaves,
The texture after a big bite is more fragrant than eating stew.
Cold mix willow buds
The best is the weeping willow buds,
Standing willow (dry willow) is not only easy to pick but also more bitter,
The willow buds near the river taste the best.
Willow buds are then sautéed in a boiling pot on high heat with water.
Add fine salt and sesame oil, vinegar, garlic paste,
It is also delicious if added with pepper oil or chili oil.
Willow buds can also wrap sticks and dough dumplings,
However, I still think that the taste of cold mix is the best.
Stir-fry
Isn't this stir-fried dish, plus a cake, a spring roll?
Stir-fried vegetables are also the most nutritious in the spring at home,
The most spring flavorful!
Stir-fry the leeks, shredded meat, vermicelli, bean sprouts and tender spinach
It's not enough, now it's just "combined dishes"
If you put on another egg cake on it, it is called "dish cap"
Beijingers call it "gold and silver."
Sai melon
Don't look at it as "Sai Xiang Melon",
In fact, it has nothing to do with melon
The main ingredients of this dish are cucumbers, pears and golden cake strips
The fragrance of cucumbers is sweetened with the sweetness of pears and the sourness of golden cake strips
Smelling incense and eating incense, this has become the "sai xiang melon" in the mouth of Beijing people
Nowadays, the Spring Festival can not be less than this kind of melon
Tofu with shallots
"Shallots mixed with tofu, clear and white"
Tender tofu with spring shallots
The taste is even clearer and more fragrant, white and tender
You can eat the taste of spring in one bite, and it is good to make a sake dish!
Fennel stuffed dumplings
Beijingers love stuffing, except for leeks, which are fennel
This fennel stuffed dumpling is really our Beijing specialty
We can't tell why fennel is so hooky
Maybe some people can't eat, but Beijingers can't do without it
Previously, it was caught once a year in late May and once in autumn
As long as it is these two seasons, you can eat fresh and delicious fennel
Every year, if you want to eat stuffing at home in Beijing
Ask, it's fennel!
Stir in the eggplant puree
In the spring, Beijing can not be without tahini
Serve with fresh eggplant and make a mixture of eggplant puree
Let the steamed fresh eggplant puree cool and add the tahini sauce
The aroma of tahini blends with the fresh aroma of eggplant
Eating two bites will open your appetite
Tahini sugar cake
Old Beijing loves flapjacks, but it can't be without tahini
Wrapping the flaky cake with tahini and brown sugar is a tahini candy cake
Although this is not unique to spring, it is delicious and sweet in spring
Old Beijing's sweets, only tahini sugar cakes can not be less!
This tahini sugar cake must be eaten hot after it comes out of the pan
The crust of the flaky cake is crispy on the outside and the tahini on the inside is sweet and soft
The inside of the bite is full of layering, and the sesame sauce only spills out
It's much better than the dim sum in the bakery outside!
Steamed bun slices with tahini sauce dipped in sugar
The best way to eat tahini is this,
This bun is best roasted, not baked
Paste a layer full of tahini and sprinkle with sugar
Close your eyes and bite down, mouth full of happiness
In the past, Tahini was given in quantity
At that time, eat a mouthful of incense and cherish the taste of a mouthful
I can't find it now
You see, these Beijing spring eaters
It can be described as a "Beijing cuisine" with its own school
Take advantage of the recent time, let's try your hand at cooking
These foods can't be eaten even in the restaurant!
You've eaten everything and done it all, so do it again this spring when you're free!
(Tips: delicious and tempting, but don't destroy the trees!) ）
