Although the north is not as spring as the four seasons in the south, the northern park in the summer is definitely like a summer resort, with tall trees, green surrounding, willows and lotus leaves...
Especially today's three-volt day, it is the season of lotus flowers, just in response to the sentence, "The lotus leaves are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers are different from the sun", which is beautiful!
Although there are many lotuses, lotus leaves, and lotuses in the lotus pond, it seems that we northerners only focus on the lotus root and lotus seeds, and only focus on ornamentation for flowers and leaves, which is a pity.
This made me naturally think of the way to eat lotus leaves, and the classic Cantonese refreshment, lotus-flavored glutinous rice chicken, is wrapped in lotus leaves. So, I went to the place that specializes in selling lotus puffs, and I wanted to buy a few fresh lotus leaves (as a result, people didn't want money, they directly picked some lotus leaves for us) o (∩_∩) o ha! ~
Glutinous rice chicken, one of the Cantonese morning tea, can also be easily bought in many street breakfast shops opened by locals, about 3-5 yuan a piece. It is mainly made of glutinous rice + chicken, wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed, so it is called lotus sticky rice chicken.
Some of the rice dumplings like our northerners are just salty and wrapped in different leaves.
The taste is soft and sticky, fresh and fragrant, with a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, it is very annoying, and people who like it can not forget it once they eat it.
Its method is divided into three parts, steamed glutinous rice - fried chicken - processing lotus leaves, not complicated, interested friends, hurry up and learn it together:
