Jiangmi cake? I like it too!
When I was a child, my memory of Jiangmi cake was always sweet. Usually on a lukewarm afternoon, a chubby old man usually wears a white old man's shirt and a straw hat, and looks cheerful and amiable. Stumbling, riding a bike. In the back seat of the car, there is a whole piece of rice cake. (Now that I think about it, it may be a tricycle. How can a bicycle seat hold such a big rice cake? (it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that the Jiangmi cake made by this grandfather is always so delicious, sweet and greasy. Grandpa propped up the car, stopped and began to get busy. This piece, that piece, so many glutinous rice cakes, will soon be sold out. His Jiangmi cake has many dates and is very sweet. The dates are arranged neatly. Look at the cut surface of Jiangmi cake. Layers of red dates are particularly attractive.
I bought Jiangmi cake, not the first one. Because of the edge, there are few dates. Eagerly, endure saliva, watching others buy one by one. How much to buy, how much to cut into big cakes, like cutting cakes in Xinjiang. After cutting it like this, you will see not white rice but dates, so let grandpa cut it. Cut a piece and wrap it in washed lotus leaves. I can't wait to go home. I can't wait to eat Jiangmi cake. Jiangmi cake is sweet and fragrant with lotus leaves. The memory of that smell is unforgettable. It's always strange, where did those lotus leaves come from?
Many years have passed. The little girl who loves to eat rice cakes is over forty years old. Grandpa glutinous rice cake is probably dead, right? I only remember that I haven't eaten Jiangmi cake for many years. Because there are products on the market occasionally, I generally don't like them: one is that there are fewer dates, mainly plastic bags now. Can Jiangmi cake without lotus leaves have that taste?
Mr. Wang said easily that he likes to eat, and of course he should try to cook it for him. As long as I have the heart, there is nothing I can't do!
Mr. Wang rested at home yesterday. I asked him to soak rice at noon, so that I could steam cakes for five hours after work in the afternoon.
As it turns out, plans can't keep up with changes. I made a temporary appointment with my best friend, so the steamed cake was changed to the date, and it was almost ten o'clock.
Has anyone seen steamed rice cakes in the middle of the night?
It's the first time to do it, and I consulted Du Niang.
It is not good to soak rice for a long time. Let Mr. Wang control the water in advance There are many red dates. Wash and cook for ten minutes. Cut and remove the core, so that the son who doesn't like dates won't refuse.
Put a plate in the pot and cover it with cloth. Smooth half of the rice, spread a thick layer of red dates, and cover the other half of the rice. Then, wrap the cloth tightly like a quilt and make it look like a tofu block. In order to avoid looseness during cooking, press two plates, add water to the plates, and cook in the pot for about 40 minutes.
I tried to save trouble with a pressure cooker. I think more than twenty minutes should be enough. As a result, I opened the pot, opened the cloth and put it on the baking tray. I found that some parts of the rice were not cooked. I had to repackage and cook for the second time. In the process of tossing, the levels of rice and jujube were confused, and there was no expected level of jujube. This is a pity.
When I cooked for the second time, I couldn't help taking a shower and falling asleep. Ask Mr. Wang to help me turn off the fire. Do the rest of the work when you wake up.
So, I always can't get up in the morning, I wake up at five o'clock and go to the kitchen to check my grades.
It's been all night, and the water temperature has not dropped. Take out the cloth and see that the rice cake has been steamed. Wrap the cake with plastic wrap, compact it, shape it, then dip it in water with a knife, carefully cut it into rectangular pieces, and then wrap it with plastic wrap. This is convenient for storage and won't stick to your hands when eating, killing two birds with one stone.
After packing, Mr. Wang got up to make breakfast. Look at my glutinous rice cake. Full of praise. I can't wait to eat a piece, but it's more satisfying. My son got up and tasted a piece and said it was delicious. Only then did I taste the taste: sweet and sticky, which is my favorite taste. However, compared with the delicious food when I was a child, I just lost a lotus leaf. ...
I like cooking and telling stories.
