You who have been working outside all year round, do you especially miss the taste of your hometown when the Spring Festival is coming?
My hometown is Qujing, Yunnan, located in the east of Yunnan Province, at the source of the Pearl River, at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, known as "Yunnan Qian Lock Key" and "Yunnan Throat".
My hometown of Yunnan, there is a traditional flavor food called bait, this food is made of rice, when I was a child, my grandmother's family because of the rice planted more, every year will be surplus a lot of rice, the village has a surplus of rice families will use the remaining rice to make bait to eat or sell. There are many kinds of yunnan bait, the more famous ones are kunming Duanshi Street small pot bait silk, Weishan grilled meat bait piece silk, Hui roast bait block sandwich brine beef, Tengchong fried bait block and ham chicken mixed bait silk and so on.
Freshly made bait, soft and sticky
What I want to introduce below is the most famous breakfast in my hometown of Qujing---- steamed bait silk, which is a must. To say that Qujing's steamed bait silk, the time can be traced back to the 80s of the last century. At that time, there was a restaurant at the entrance of Xueyuan Street in Qujing City, although the façade was not large, but because the main snack variety served by the restaurant was finely made and had a unique flavor, it attracted customers every day, and became famous within a few years. The main ingredient of Qujing steamed bait silk is locally produced drum bait. It is made of high-quality rice produced along the river and Zhujie in Qujing and processed according to traditional craftsmanship.
Back then, everything was cut by hand like a strand of hair
In Qujing, people cut the bait by hand with a knife (now they are all cut by machine) and then put it into a steamer to steam!
Now there are machine cuts
The mixture of Qujing steamed bait silk is very rich and quite elaborate. The first is fresh leeks and mung bean sprouts, as well as specially boiled sweet soy sauce and carefully stir-fried meat sauce. When boiling sweet soy sauce, it should be served with a certain proportion of spices, simmer until it is thick and flavorful, and then put it in a container for later. The meat sauce is selected with fresh pork front sandwich hind leg meat, which is finely chopped and then fried with the sauce to form a meat sauce. The sauerkraut used for steaming bait is carefully pickled by the family, and the peppers that make the oil and pepper are from Qiubei, the peppercorns are from Xichang, Sichuan, as well as the star anise and grass fruits produced in Guangxi, the high-quality shiitake mushrooms produced in Fujian, the washed sesame seeds produced in Henan and so on. In addition, the red-skinned garlic produced by Hengda Road in Qujing Yuezhou Town also plays an important role in it. Of course, refined salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, etc. are also indispensable spices.
The production process of Qujing steamed bait silk is not complicated. Take the good bait, first soak in cool water, then cut into slices, and then evenly cut into shreds, add a little vegetable oil and mix well, then put it into the wood or bamboo dumplings and steam until the bait is soft, take it out and put it into a bowl, put the blanched leeks, mung bean sprouts, add salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, drizzle with boiled sweet soy sauce, cover with meat sauce, garlic paste, sprinkle with sauerkraut, customers who like to eat spicy can also put their own oil and spicy seeds, and finally mix well to eat.
After eating the bait silk, it is not finished, but also with a bowl of "glass soup", in fact, it is a small bowl of bone broth sprinkled with green onions, which is a complete set of steamed bait silk! Hey, don't say it, think about the saliva flowing out, what do you want to eat in your hometown?
