The previous article and everyone talked about the burning immortal grass (black cool powder), for some northern friends to popularize the burning immortal grass in the end what is, to the surprise of Inong in this cold winter has triggered a lot of friends on the country's unique cool powder extensive discussion, many of them strongly asked Inong to talk about other cool powder, today they are coming.
Jelly
Although it is not a delicious delicacy, it can also make people's fingers move and the aftertaste is endless.
Make cool powder
Although it is not cumbersome and complicated, it can also be called a clever work that condenses the wisdom of Chinese farmers.
Eat cold powder
Can be mixed or fried, can be sweet and salty, cold and hot can also be, summer to eat to cool off, winter food to relieve hunger, do not care about the red tape, when and where he is, no matter what he eats, a bowl is not enough to come back to a bowl.
Talk to everyone about the unique cold powder in our country, if you ask what kind of cold powder is the best to eat, to distinguish the cold powder sweet bar is still salty, or use flowery words to describe the taste of cold powder, Inong is not good at, these are still handed over to the creators in the field of food to write better.
In addition, even if I reluctantly write it, I think it may be difficult to write a mouth-watering taste of cool powder that is better than "cool" in the cold winter.
As an agricultural person, compared with the "taste" of cold powder, Yinong is more familiar with the "raw materials" behind it - various plants and crops, so today Yinong and from the perspective of raw materials to talk to you about the unique cold powder.
To know that China's ancestors made and ate cold powder history is very long, from the book written in the late Northern Wei Dynasty China's ancient agricultural "encyclopedia" "Qi Min Zhi Shu" record, we know that as early as 1400 years ago, Chinese farmers have mastered the gelatinization method of starch (starch gelatinization is cold powder) and make food, and in the Song Dynasty to describe the customs and customs of Kaifeng "Tokyo Dream", "fine cord cold powder" has become a commodity food sold along the street.
Cold powder has gone through a journey of more than a thousand years, the more types, the more ways to eat, the more flavors, the more raw materials, full of chinese children's mouths and blessings, but also full of the wisdom of Chinese farmers.
Some of the raw materials with different characteristic cool powders are really unexpected, grains, seeds, fruits, nuts, young leaves, hay and algae, and the unexpected ones that come to mind are made into cool powder.
Next, listen to Enon in detail.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "mediocre" but "family" the largest and most popular starchy cool powder</h1>
The cold powder made of starch as raw material should be the earliest cold powder in China (why use "should"?). Because it is difficult to verify when the strange raw materials such as leaves and hay were made into cool powder), there are currently special cold powders made of starch in various places in the north and south.
Because the source of starch is very rich, the "family" of starchy cold powder is very large.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, cassava, buckwheat, peas, mung beans, corn, rice and other food crops with high starch content can be used as raw materials for making cold powder.
Starch cold powder is large and widely distributed, compared with the "demons and ghosts" that Yinong will talk about next, it is unremarkable, but there is no shortage of well-known leaders, such as Kaifeng fried cold powder, Northeast fried powder, Northern Sichuan cold powder, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia characteristic buckwheat cold powder and Datong Hunyuan cool powder that has been passed down for thousands of years.
(About Hunyuan cool powder Inong to interject, it is said that during the Tang Dynasty there was already Hunyuan cool powder, if the time is right, then the current raw material must not be the earliest raw material, the main ingredient of the current Hunyuan cool powder is potatoes, and potatoes are the American continent was discovered before it was introduced to China, so Inonte wants to know what the authentic Hunyuan cool powder uses as the main raw material? ）
Of course, the famous starch cold powder, there are many, we do not argue who is more famous, who is the best to eat, to be non-high, the local best, homemade the most flavorful.
After a brief chat about the well-known starch cold powder, let's take a look at those "strange things".
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > nut cold powder - acorn tofu, bitter maple tofu, Aoka tofu</h1>
The raw materials of acorn tofu, bitter oak tofu and Aoka tofu are the fruits of oak (oak genus), bitter oak tree (cone genus), and Aoka tree (Aoka genus), all of which belong to the shell hop family, which are perennial tree nuts and economic tree species.
The tree shape and nuts of the shell bucket family are similar, and they are very widely distributed in China, among which there are nearly 200 species of oak in China in the north and south of China, and the bitter oak tree of the cone genus is mostly distributed with the north of the Five Ridges south of the Yangtze River, and the Qinggang tree of the Qinggang genus is mostly distributed with the southern subtropical region, because of the variety and complex distribution, resulting in a great difference in the name of nut cold powder.
Nuts of the various genera of the shell hopper family can be made into a cold powder because their nuts contain a lot of starch.
The nuts can become cool powder (mostly brown) after drying, hulling, soaking, refining, heating, cooling and other processes.
The process is simple to say, but the actual operation requires technology, otherwise it is difficult to form or it will be astringent and affect the taste.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > black and green burnt grass</h1>
In the previous article, Inonon had a detailed introduction, which is briefly mentioned here.
The raw material of the burning immortal grass is the annual herb of the peristome, which is widely distributed with the southern region of China, so the burning immortal grass is the characteristic cool powder of the southern region of China, but it may be the best local cold powder mixed, and the milk tea shops and dessert shops in the north and south of China can be seen in its figure.
The reason why cool powder grass can be made of cool powder is because the stems and leaves contain colloidal cold powder grass polysaccharides, which can be mixed with starch and heated to make roasted immortal grass.
The roasted fairy grass made of fresh grass is green, and the hay is boiled black, which is black cool powder.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the taste of sea cool powder from the sea</h1>
Sea cool powder is a characteristic cool powder in the coastal areas of China.
The most commonly used raw material of sea cool powder is the stone cauliflower grown on the submarine reef within 10 meters, also known as chicken hair vegetable, which is an algae plant of the genus stone cauliflower of the red algae gate stone cauliflower family, which is distributed in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea in China. (Coral grass, staghorn, etc. can also be used to make sea cool powder)
The reason why algae such as stone cauliflower can be used as cold powder is because it is rich in gum.
When making sea cool powder, first wash and remove salt, and then fresh stone cauliflower can be directly boiled to produce glue, dry stone cauliflower should be soaked and then boiled (direct boiling is also possible), cold and cool can be formed (mostly transparent or translucent).
Two-winged, six-way wood
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > there are two kinds of fairy tofu, derived from the leaves of different plants</h1>
One of the immortal tofu
The raw material of this immortal tofu is the leaves of the two-winged six-way wood, which is a deciduous shrub of the genus Liudao in the honeysuckle family, which is widely distributed in the Qinling Mountains and Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan.
The reason why the leaves of the two-winged six-way wood can be made into a cool powder "fairy tofu" is because its leaves contain a lot of gum.
When making, the leaves are washed and dried, put in a basin and blanched with boiling water, then kneaded and mashed until the leaves become a paste, and then filtered with gauze to produce gum, and after cooling, it is made into fairy tofu.
Among them, the Qinling area is most famous for its fairy tofu made of leaves of two wings and six woods.
Tofu chai
Immortal Tofu No. 2
The raw material of this immortal tofu is the leaves of tofu chai, and the tofu chai also has many aliases such as stinky yellow wattle, Guanyin chai, cool powder chai, Tuchangshan, stinky lady, stinky Changshan and many other aliases (so some areas are also called tofu vegetables as raw materials of cold powder also has Guanyin tofu and other names), which is an upright shrub of the verbena family tofu chai, which is widely distributed in Anhui, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hubei and other southern regions of China.
The leaves of tofu chai can be used as cold powder, also because the leaves contain a lot of gum, in addition to the leaves of tofu vegetables can also be used in medicine.
When it is made, it is basically the same as when the two-winged six-way wood is used as raw material, but after the sap is filtered, grass and wood ash must be added to form (mostly green).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > fruity cool coix powder</h1>
The raw material of coix cold powder is the seed in the fruit of the unripe (if the fruit is fully ripe, it is not easy to make a cool powder), coix has a long history in China, can be used in medicine, for the mulberry fig genus perennial evergreen climbing shrub, widely distributed in China's South of the Yangtze River.
The seeds contain gum and can be used as ice powder.
When making, first peel the unripe coleus fruit to take the seeds (as long as the seeds are exposed without peeling), and then dry, and then the fruits and seeds are wrapped in gauze and immersed in clean water and scrubbed continuously, until the liquid is viscous, and can be molded within a few hours after being placed in the refrigerator (mostly transparent or translucent).
Another point is that many friends must know that they have been on the "Tip of the Tongue of China" Ai Yu Bing, of which "Love Jade" is actually a variant of Xueli.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > exotic species rub out a very large amount of ice powder</h1>
The raw material of ice powder is the seed of fake acid pulp, which is native to South America, and it is said that crops from the American continent were introduced to China at the same time, and when they were first introduced, they were "weeds".
False acid pulp is an annual upright herb of the solanaceous family pseudo acid pulp, which is widely distributed in the north and south of China after being introduced to China, because it can make ice powder and can be used for medicine.
That's right, with gum!
When making ice powder, the impurities in the seeds should be removed first, and then the seeds of the false acid pulp should be soaked for a period of time, and then the secretion of the gum should be accelerated by hand rubbing, and the appropriate amount of lime water should be added and stirred after the liquid is sticky, and it can be formed after a period of time (mostly transparent or translucent).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end, paying tribute to the wisdom of Chinese farmers</h1>
If you make starchy cold powder, it is the wisdom of the brain and the industrious hands that make the table richer.
If you think about it, it is possible to make cold powder from hay, young leaves, and seeds, and it is possible to develop and utilize everything edible when hunger and cold are urgent.
There is something that penetrates the bones of the Chinese nation, that is, respect for food.
It is precisely because of the respect of our ancestors and farmers for food that our lives are better at present, and cold powder is just a snack.
The small cold powder all shows the diligence and wisdom of Chinese farmers.
In addition to paying tribute and gratitude, it is more important to inherit this wisdom and encourage the Chinese people!
