The writer Jia Pingwo once wrote about Shaanxi's "cool skin", the cold skin is cut into thin strips, blanched mung bean sprouts, salt, vinegar, sesame paste, dipped in a chili oil basin into the bowl, white is green and white, red is bright red, and the unopened lips are salivating. Because of its unique taste, this Shaanxi liangpi has long been regarded as the best in food by diners and has blossomed all over the country. After the outbreak of the new crown virus epidemic, people stayed at home, bored to improve their cooking skills, and many people learned to make Shaanxi cool skins, and when they were cool, they became popular on the Internet.
Jia Pingwa wrote that the cold skin is summer food, but there are sales on the cold days of Sanjiu, there are few eaters, there are few male eaters, there are more women, especially young women, and more women of the half-old Xu Niang. It can be seen that Shaanxi Liangpi is for women to eat. Compared with Shaanxi Liangpi, Hebei also has two kinds of summer foods, namely grilled cake and cold powder, both of which are very unique, both are "Rice Dumpling" food, and their delicious taste is comparable to the Shaanxi Liangpi recommended by Jia Pingwo.
Let's start with the grilled cake. It is a "rice" food handed down by the ancients, and the rice cake is a certain technology. If the proportion of water and noodles is not in place, the grilled cake is either too soft or hard enough to resist the mouth, stirring not to a certain extent, and the grilled cake out of the rice cake is sticky and sticky. The fire is large and the pot is boiled, and if the fire is small, it is not cooked.
The main ingredient of the steak cake is soba noodles, which are boiled into a gray paste with buckwheat flour, add peppercorns, cumin and other spices, stir well, boil under water, cook and then set the round cakes that are about two or two while hot to cool. When eating, cut into small pieces, and then cut the small pieces of grilled cake into two thin and thick strips of thin strips in the bowl, pour the sauce prepared with sesame sauce, soy sauce and rice vinegar, add carrot shreds, pour garlic paste, ginger, green onion, mustard, chili oil, garlic, sesame oil and other spices, eat with the characteristics of texture, smooth and refreshing, garlic delicious, soft and strong. Especially in the hot summer, it can be used as a staple food, but also a small dish, quenching thirst and quenching thirst, with a unique flavor.
Let's talk about the cold powder soup. Cold powder is also a rice food, and its ingredients are mung beans, peas or buckwheat. To make mung beans or pea cold powder, first grind them into noodles, soak them in water and turn them into porridge, then put them in a large pot and stir vigorously while cooking, so as not to simmer the pot, and put them into a helmet after cooking. If you make buckwheat cold powder, first debass the buckwheat, then process it into small particles called "buckwheat grits", and then soak the buckwheat grits and stir them into a porridge, put them in a pot, and put them into a helmet after cooking. After the cool powder is cooled, it is shaped like a buckled helmet, called "cool powder lump", and when you clap it with your hand, the whole lump trembles.
There are two ways to eat cold powder. One is to cut into pieces or slices and mix them into small dishes to eat, and the taste is delicious. Another way to eat it is to drink cold powder soup, and the cold powder is made into noodle-like silk called "cold vermicelli". There is a special tool for making this kind of silk called "shovel", like a bed with winged holes, with a shovel on the cold powder lump to turn a turn called "cold powder", shovel the cold vermicelli into a bowl, add shallots, cucumber shreds, drip some sesame oil, and then pour vinegar soup and mustard soup. Drink two mouthfuls of belly, refreshing and palatable, delicious taste, heat-proof thirst quenching and hunger, there is a refreshing and comfortable, refreshing feeling. Grilled cake and cold powder soup, can be called Hebei's "cool skin", it is different from Shaanxi cool skin seasoning, the flavor is different, but it is the favorite of Hebei people, so snacks around the world can not represent a party of water and soil human feelings.
