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!

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.
