When it comes to "bean noodle cake", it is estimated that few people know it, but when it comes to "donkey rolling", you will suddenly realize, Oh ~ it is it. Donkey rolling originated in Manchuria, originated in Chengde, and flourished in Beijing.
In the "Yandu Small Food Miscellaneous Songs", it is recorded: "The brown sugar water filling is cleverly arranged, and the yellow noodles are buried in the balls of beans." What a group of donkeys rolling, the name is not inevitably humorous. "It mentions the brown sugar water filling, now everyone's common donkey rolling is basically bean paste stuffed donkey rolling, and brown sugar donkey rolling is said to have disappeared for more than 20 years, in the 1970s and 80s is still very popular, sweet and rich for a long time, like honey and caramel, there is a taste.
So why is so delicious replaced by bean paste filling? Because the brown sugar donkey rolling is too easy to dry, it has lost the softness of the donkey rolling, but now with the improvement of production technology, the brown sugar donkey rolling has also returned to the market in recent years. The ancient text also sighed, the name donkey rolling is somewhat funny, incredible. So, how did donkey roll get its name? It is because when making, it is necessary to roll the prepared dough in the soybean noodles, just like the gusts of loess that are raised when a donkey rolls on the yellow soil, so it is named, is it a good image to remember?
The donkey rolls, not only its name is uninhibited, but its taste is also a must. It is also mentioned in the "Yanjing Folk Food Historical Pole": "Donkey rolling is steamed with yellow rice sticky noodles, wrapped in brown sugar water as the filling, rolled in fried bean noodles, so that it becomes a spherical shape." At the time of the major temple fairs in Yan City, there are many people who sell this. "It shows that donkey rolling is the standard of the temple fair, which shows its popularity." Although it is a traditional snack in the north, as a southerner, I can't resist its temptation, because I have a glutinous rice stomach and can't refuse glutinous food. Although there are also donkeys selling donkey rolling in supermarkets, only after eating freshly made do you know how delicious this donkey rolling can be.
On that business trip to Beijing, I followed my colleague to Niujie, and the colleague said: "A donkey that can fight with teeth is a good product with an authentic Beijing flavor." "So he took me to a snack bar to buy donkey rolling, which was not as delicate as the small pieces I used to use, it was oversized, a bar code in a large basin, sold by pound.
After I bought a donkey rolling,
Just take a big bite down, just when you enter, the donkey rolling wrapped soybean noodles make this sticky and wrapped in a layer of crispness, this soybean noodles seem to be slightly darker but not burnt bitter, but also with a strong bean flavor, the faint sticky rice aroma when chewing for the first time, the sweet bean paste aroma after deep chewing again, the rolled bean paste filling is a lot, and the delicate and dense bean paste filling will also bubble out,
The sweetness is also just right, eating too much will not be greasy, three kinds of mutual blending, and each other's independent fragrance spreads in the mouth, glutinous rice skin is very chewy, pulling teeth, but not sticking teeth, entangled tongue, after the crazy chase of chewing and stickiness, donkey rolling can honestly enter the esophagus, after eating the lasting fragrance is even more unforgettable.
Since eating a freshly made donkey roll in Beijing, I have been thinking about it, but unfortunately I did not find a donkey roll for sale, so I asked my colleagues in Beijing how to make this donkey roll. Here I will also share the practice of donkey rolling to everyone, first prepare 300g of glutinous rice flour, 100g of soybean noodles, and an appropriate amount of bean paste. Put the soybean noodles into an oil-free and water-free pot, turn on low heat and stir-fry continuously,
The color of the soybean noodles changes from light yellow to a uniform light brown, and when the bean flavor is obvious, it is fried. Let the sautéed soybean noodles cool and sift them aside for later. Put the glutinous rice flour into the basin and add water little by little,
The noodles can be mixed into a ball, and it is dried a little, so that the steamed glutinous rice balls will have toughness.
Place the reconciled dough in a flat-bottomed container, gently flatten it, place in a steamer and steam over high heat for about 20 minutes. Steamed glutinous rice noodles should be covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying, and let to cool until warm.
Sprinkle the sautéed soybean noodles on the table, put the glutinous rice noodles on top, and then sprinkle a layer of soybean noodles evenly on the glutinous rice noodles, and roll them out into a rectangular thin crust of about 0.5 cm with a rolling pin.
Because glutinous rice noodles are more tough, it may be a little difficult to roll. Spread the bean paste evenly on the dough, if you feel that the bean paste is too thick, you can dilute it with a little boiling water, and then lift the end of the dough and carefully roll it inward.
To roll a little tighter, as far as possible to leave a little gap, not only to maintain the beauty, but also to avoid loose in the middle, and then dip the knife in water, use it to cut the bean noodle roll into small pieces, and finally the rest of the soybean noodles are sifted onto the small roll, yellow, white, red donkey roll is done.
It is best to eat the donkey roll as soon as possible, if it is put to the next day, the donkey roll will become hard and the taste will be greatly reduced.
However, Xiaobian also has a little tip, the hardened donkey roll with the microwave oven high heating for 10-20 seconds, turning over and then heating for 10-20 seconds, it will become a soft and sticky donkey rolling again, if you want to eat the texture of the glutinous, then eat it after cooling at room temperature.
