1| once sacred ice powder
Ice powder is spicy, smooth and cool to eat
Ice powder is a famous snack in Sichuan cuisine, which can be found everywhere in Sichuan Chongqing style skewers and Chongqing small noodle shops. It's spicy, smooth and cool to eat, and looks transparent and simple – like a softer and more fragile jelly soaked in ice water, paired with brown sugar raisins and other accessories that can be colorful or not. But the truth is not so, ice powder is not made with fish gelatin powder and other jelly additives, this kind of thing is all natural, it grows on trees.
Ice powder trees, also known as ice seed trees, are said to be quite bone-like, and they are only willing to grow in temples or riversides and other places with aura. The trees blossom and bear fruit every year, and the seeds in the fruit are the raw materials for making ice powder. When making, the seeds in the ice powder fruit are first taken out, a clean gauze is cut to cover the seeds, the slurry of the seeds is milled in the pot repeatedly, and then the sweet well water is added to the pot, and the seeds of the ten seeds are a bowl of water, and then the bowl of ice powder is immersed in cool water to cool. Four hours later, if you're lucky, the ice powder is formed, transparent and pure, with cool sugar water and sweet dried fruit such as raisins, which is wonderful in those years without jelly.
The seeds that make the ice powder are in the fruit of the ice seed tree
This is probably the scene of more than a decade ago. Not all well water can make ice powder form, and not all attempts can be successful, so ice powder is difficult to spread throughout the country, but it has become a local feature in various places where ice powder trees are produced. But now the ice powder production has become extremely simple, buy a package of purified ice powder, put in the powder and pure water according to the ingredients, stir it evenly and put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration, and then everything will be fine! Although there is less of a sense of regional mystery, it is simply easy to get a good price, which is really a technology that changes life - food.
2 | Not necessarily a cool powder
Cold powder is different from ice powder. Ice powder out of the pot is cold ice, and cold powder out of the pot is piping hot. Ice powder is frozen, but cold powder is boiled out. There is such a couplet in Mr. Ma Sanli's classic cross-talk "Pairs", the upper link is: the little mouse steals hot cold powder, and the short and long worms wrap around the dwarf sorghum. Sorghum is tall, and growing short is also called sorghum. Rats are old, newborns are also called rats, long worms are long, and long worms are also called long worms. Cold powder is cold, hot out of the pot cold mixed with eating oil fried to eat all called cold powder.
Xi'an's marinade cold powder is made from mung bean starch
There are many types of cold powder throughout the country, and there are cold powders in the northeast, north China, northwest and southwest, and the production process and eating methods are different. Northeast love to eat fried cold powder, sweet potato starch production, North China's mixed cold powder and Xi'an famous marinade cold powder, are mung bean starch production, Sichuan is not only Tianfu and hot, all kinds of cool powder sect the most, rice cold powder, northern Sichuan cold powder and sad cold powder have their own characteristics, the raw materials of these three kinds of cold powder are rice, mung bean starch and pea starch.
Things are clustered, since they are all cold powder, the production is also similar, all of which are the characteristics of starch. 100 grams of starch and 700 grams of water, slowly reacted under the heating of a low heat, and finally became a crystal clear gel, and the hot cold powder that had just come out of the pot was put into a container to cool and form. Take out when eating, slice and chop, not broken, not scattered, cold and hot frying, smooth in the mouth, convenient and refreshing. The secret of the shop is often hidden in the acquisition of starch, the boiling heat and the production of spices, the stone freshly ground indica rice mung bean pea peeled and slagged into a pulp is naturally more authentic, the millimeter of the heat determines whether the cold powder can slip or not, and a spicy seasoning is the secret that determines the "hurt or not sad" of this bowl of cold powder.
3 | Dead immortal jelly
Roasted fairy grass with a variety of ingredients, the taste is rich
Immortal jelly, also known as fairy grass jelly or roasted fairy grass, is a kind of flavor snack most commonly found in Fujian, Guangzhou and Taiwan in China, which resembles ice powder and cool powder in practice. It is said to be like ice powder because the raw materials are similar to ice powder, which are taken from plants in nature. It's just that the ice powder uses the seeds of the fruit of the ice powder tree, while the burning fairy grass uses sun-dried and chopped fairy grass. It is said that it is like cold powder because the production process, it is necessary to boil over low heat and with the help of starch coagulation, chopped dried fairy grass and a certain proportion of water slowly boiled for eight hours to boil out the gum (you can also add an appropriate amount of edible alkali to shorten the boiling time), and then add an appropriate amount of too white powder, put it cool, and condense into a freeze. Add sugar water, crushed ice, red beans, taro balls and other ingredients, rich in taste, clear heart out of the fire, cool down and relieve the heat (burnt fairy grass also looks like turtle paste. Turtle paste is also a kind of frozen substance that is boiled out of the raw material gelatin and then condensed into a frozen substance, but the raw material of the burning fairy grass is the fairy grass, and the raw material of the turtle paste is the eagle-billed turtle and the soil poria).
