Let's talk about rice cakes today. Rice cake is the traditional Spring Festival food in China, and eating rice cake in the New Year is one of the customs of the Chinese people. There is a difference between the north and the south flavor of rice cakes in China, but regardless of the north and south, it is always inseparable from the soft texture and the meaning of "rice cake (high)". Chinese people pay attention to the New Year to please a good head, so eating rice cakes has become a New Year's custom in the north and south of the river. The ancient poem has clouds: rice cakes mean slightly deeper clouds, white as silver and yellow gold. Looking forward to high times and good times, I sincerely wish for wealth.
White as silver and yellow gold, we are going to talk about this "gold" color rice cake today. In the north, in addition to glutinous rice noodles (called river rice noodles in the north), there is also a kind of yellow rice noodles that are more glutinous than glutinous rice noodles, that is, yellow rice noodles. Since ancient times, China has had the five grains of millet, millet, wheat, millet and rice, of which the millet refers to the northern millet, and after the shelling of the millet is the yellow rice used by the northerners to make wine and rice cakes. Yellow rice is sticky after cooking, and is the first choice for northerners to make rice cakes and fried cakes.
After the northerners enter the Waxing Moon, they will prepare the materials for making rice cakes, pick out half a day or a day to make rice cakes, and after the rice cakes are ready, they will be put into the refrigerator and can be stored for a long time. Old people often say that when steaming rice cakes, they don't like people to visit the door, because there are outsiders who come, and the rice cakes will not be steamed. But I have not believed this more evil statement, whether rice cakes can be steamed, all depends on the technique and heat, and what does it have to do with outsiders visiting? Therefore, when I steamed rice cakes, I would always call my friends and ask them to come to my house to eat rice cakes, but I did not find any steamed rice cakes.
The rice cakes in the north are very different from the rice cakes in the south. The traditional northern rice cake uses two kinds of materials, yellow rice noodles and red dates, when steaming, one layer of red dates and one layer, two layers of noodles and dates, golden color, sweet and soft glutinous, delicious and not greasy. Soon it will be the day of steaming rice cakes again, the detailed method of yellow rice noodles and red date rice cakes, shared here to everyone, all kinds of details are inside, look carefully, follow it, even if you are a novice, you will not fail.
