Lu Southwest stewed seed soup is a finished product

Stew is a traditional specialty food in the northern region of China, which is made in Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong and Henan, but the method is slightly different. In the southwestern region of Lu, the practice of stewing is also different. This article is about the stew I made at home.

Why do I make this dish and make it more and more popular with friends and family? It is because my children eat good leftover steamed buns, steamed buns are leftovers are dry, thrown away a strange pity, it is better as a raw material, made into stews (this is my personal habit, everyone do not learn, or use white noodles steamed buns). The stew I made, which I used to learn from my cousin who was a baker, was a delicacy on the Lu recipe, and it was usually found at the red and white banquets in some rural areas of southwest Lu.

Prepare the ingredients first, which are dry and hard white-noodle steamed buns (remove the skin of the steamed buns, do not use them), sweet potato starch, salt, five-spice noodles, and bone broth. Next, the dried steamed bun is broken by hand into a large and large rice grain, and then salt, five-spice noodles, cooking wine, and white pepper noodles (if you don't eat it, you can not put it) into the broken steamed bun, and then pour in the appropriate amount of sweet potato starch, add water (broth) and form a batter.

Wet the sackcloth, place it in a steamer basket and spread it, then pour the reconciled batter onto the sackcloth, and use chopsticks (tablespoons) around the batter to keep the batter from flowing around. Then cover the pot lid, start steaming for about half an hour (also according to the thickness of their own laying time), you can also open the pot lid, lightly press it with your hand, feel elastic, basically can be. Finally, the steamed stew is air-dried naturally.

The stew I made was different from other stews, slightly harder, but chewy. How to eat, there is an introduction on the Internet, you can check. I often cut it into slices and eat it in the way of a spicy and sour soup. In Shandong Heze Dingtao District, is the stewed with smooth meat, balls, spinach together to make stewed soup, is the special cuisine of southwest Lu, you can also try to do it according to this method, very authentic southwest Lu taste.
