A long time ago, there was no railway station in my hometown, every time I took the train in addition to going to Wuhan, I could occasionally go to a small railway station in the neighboring city "Yangtze River Port", which is located in Yingcheng City, Hubei Province, the railway station is not large, but there is a snack around, which makes a very deep impression on me.
The first time I saw this snack, I didn't look at it at all, I thought of buying the boiled bun of the next aunt to fill my hunger, and when the train came, I could get on the train, this snack shape is not round and irregular, there are small pits everywhere, and it is also made of black and black stones in the pot, such a state is estimated that most people are like me, no appetite at all.
Out of curiosity and the warm greeting of the food stall owner, reluctantly bought one, this taste does not matter, a fragrance in the mouth immediately attracted me, originally thought it was just a simple pancake class, did not expect that the "hidden mystery" inside has a very rich filling, but also asked the boss about some information about this snack, and share it with you.
Do not sell Guanzi, the name of this snack is called "sand steamed bun" is also called stone cake, as a foodie, for the stone cake is also some understanding, in Shanxi Province, Shaanxi Province have this small snack, but the practice is different, the choice of stones is also somewhat different.
The stone choices in other areas are all small particles, marbles so large, and the stones in the Yangtze River Port are relatively large, the egg size is similar, and it is all black, not only is this stone different, the choice of dough is also very different.
Yingcheng sand bun dough is relatively large, you need to put lard onions and onions to continue to knead the dough, and then smeared with sesame oil to add the pre-prepared filling after wrapping, with a rolling pin to continuously expand the rolling dough to a very thin effect, at this time the black pebbles inside the pot are heated, take out half of the spare, the kneaded dough cake into the pot, and then cover the removed pebbles on it.
After about two minutes or so, the dough can be taken out and eaten after it is cooked thoroughly, the pebbles absorb heat well, the stones up and down are heated in all directions, so that the sand cake is heated evenly, and it can be cooked quickly, and the sand cake is very crisp and fragrant because of the blessing of lard sesame oil.
A bite down there is a feeling of lard pot helmet, due to the kneading of the dough many times folded, but also make the sand steamed bun more layered, although the surface looks the color appearance is not so tempting, but the taste and taste can completely ignore this, the aroma of sesame oil lard makes people can't help but eat super delicious.
And there is also a little spicy inside, it is said that when the noodles put a little paprika, and the filling salty with very delicious, the filling inside is also evenly distributed, every bite can eat to a very relieved, sand bun is large, a steamed bun has a face so big, at first I did not want to eat, did not expect to eat enough taste after eating 3 directly a little bit of eating the feeling of support.
Sand steamed bun when breakfast to eat satisfied and enjoy, with Yingcheng tofu brain rice wine are very good, compared to the next door aunt boiled bun is many times more fragrant, because of the production of characteristics, plus there is meat stuffing is also a bit large, so now Yingcheng sand steamed bun has sold 5 yuan a, and now the high-speed rail station is not far from the hometown, there are many years have not been to the Yangtze River Port, miss the old railway station, more miss this mouthful of characteristic sand steamed buns.
