Rice dumplings
Selected barley with a strong wheat aroma
Rice dumplings are the staple food of Tibetans for three meals a day, and are fried noodles made by drying and frying barley (barley, white and purple-black), finely ground, but sieved. When eating, stir well with a small amount of butter tea, milk residue, sugar, etc., and knead it into a ball by hand. Rice dumplings are somewhat similar to the fried noodles in northern China, but the fried noodles in the north are first ground and then fried, while the rice dumplings in Tibetan areas are fried first and then ground, without peeling.
As an indispensable staple food for tibetan herders to withstand the cold and fill their hunger, rice dumplings can be said to be the best gift that nature has given to highland herders.
Born in the Pure Land of Nature
With an average altitude of 3,000 meters, the Gannan Plateau is surrounded by plateaus, high mountains, and rich and diverse natural species, making it a natural pure land far away from the hustle and bustle. The barley here grows between 1700-4200 meters above sea level, the climate is mild, the air is fresh, the light is sufficient, it is nourished by the water of ice and snow all year round, the color is bright, the particles are full, so the roasted barley powder is white in color, free of impurities, mellow in smell, and pure in taste.
Beauty is rich in nutrients
Barley is the β dextran highest crop in the world's wheat crops, which is 50 times the average content of wheat, which can effectively inhibit cholesterol; the dietary fiber contained has the good effect of clearing the intestines and laxatives, removing toxins in the body, and is a scavenger of the human digestive system; the amylopectin contained in it is weakly alkaline after heating, which has an inhibitory effect on excessive stomach acid, and can play a role in alleviating and shielding the lesions; the trace elements and rare nutrients contained have a positive effect on promoting the healthy development of the human body.
Modern people have a rich diet, which is easy to cause excessive intake of nutrients every day, resulting in eutrophication of the body, and rice flour can balance the diet and reduce the burden on the body.
Proficient in traditional craftsmanship
In autumn, the barley is golden, which means that the barley is in the harvest season. At this time, the herders have to go through the arduous process of harvesting, carrying, drying, beating barley, and raising barley. Although tired, the herders smiled with relief when they looked at the harvest of the year.
After removing impurities and drying, the barley can be stored at home for later use. Stir-fried barley is a very important step in the production of rice dumplings, fried utensils, heat, fuel, time are carefully grasped, and then the fried barley is patiently ground by hand, and constantly screened out the powder. Although modern mechanization has gradually become popular, herders in Tibetan areas still retain traditional handicrafts, insisting on manual washing, drying, picking up miscellaneous, roasting, stone grinding, leakage sieving and other steps, so that the barley powder retains the original nutrients of barley and has a more delicate taste.
