Write a composition with 500 words on the topic of "tasting hometown snacks"

I want to take you to taste Huizhou snacks with a long history.

Among Dongjiang dishes represented by Huizhou, "Huizhou Sambo" has long been familiar; In addition, there are many unique folk snacks in Huizhou, such as "A Tiaojiao", "De Xiang" and "Love Pepper", which have a long history but are little known. Now, with the good opportunity of the food carnival, our reporter will take you to visit Huizhou snacks.

reversed

Reverse kneading, also known as kneading noodles, is a Huizhou snack, which is rare in other places. It is not easy to find a counter. I finally found one, but I was told that it was sold out. Please come early tomorrow. The next day, the reporter got up early and finally saw the true face of Lushan Mountain. Its method is to take glutinous rice flour and steam it, and then wrap it with sugar and sesame seeds to make it into a soft round shape. Take a bite, your mouth is full of sesame and glutinous rice.

In the past, reverse glutinous rice was a traditional holiday food in Huizhou, which was originally used in people's homes to worship the cow god. Huizhou proverb "October dynasty, make a pile of fire" is a portrayal of Huizhou folk "October dynasty" (a traditional folk festival). "October Dynasty" is a traditional festival of offering sacrifices to cattle in Huizhou. "Huizhou County Records" records: "In the October Dynasty, the city recommended the ancestors with flour grain, and the township used flour grain to hang horns to repay the labor." In fact, it refers to the same kind of food, that is, glutinous rice Bazin, a traditional flavor food in Huizhou, which is called "inverted Ciba" in Huizhou.

Aijiao

Also known as pink fruit, "eat pink fruit in winter", pink fruit is Artemisia argyi, which is a unique winter custom in Huizhou.

The main raw materials for making mugwort are mugwort and rice flour. Making "Artemisia argyi" is the most important step: first, take local wild Artemisia argyi, add water to boil it, and then grind it into velvet with bamboo baskets to make edible Artemisia argyi. After that, the mixed rice noodles are made into vermicelli, filled with salty and sweet materials, and wrapped into horns. Most of the mugwort used in Huizhou in winter is salty, and the traditional materials are mostly shredded radish, lard residue, shrimp head, spiced powder and so on. It can be eaten after steaming. Nowadays, love pepper, as a unique Huizhou bag, appears on the dining tables of large and small hotels.

The traditional form of selling sand cakes is very unique. People who sell sand cakes often sell them along the street with big boards on their heads. When someone bought it, they put down the partition, uncovered the gauze, scooped up pieces of sand cakes with a shovel, and sold them layer by layer until they were all sold out.

The production method of sand cake is different from the "water-mixed rice flour molding and steaming method" of ordinary cake. It uses a unique "powder rubbing and sieving method", then spreads it on a wooden partition with gauze, steams it, and then cuts it into 2-inch square squares.

water

Water, also called "seven floors", is also found in other parts of Guangdong. Huizhou is different from other places, mainly as a special food for "Sun Birthday on June 6th". Huizhou folk songs sing: "June 6th, drying clothes, steaming water and lighting candles". On that day, people took their winter clothes and quilts out of the house early for exposure, then steamed seven layers of water and lit red candles to worship the sun.

Water is made of ordinary sticky rice flour paste, with oil, salt, shrimp, shredded radish, spiced powder, minced meat or lard residue. Take a big round basin, spread a layer of gouache first, then steam the meat, then steam the second layer until the seventh layer.

The reporter can only imagine what the seventh floor looks like. In the street, the water cut into blocks is also very attractive. Pieces of white and tender water, after being fried, can't help but make people drool.

Travel telephone

Just hearing this name makes people think. In Huizhou dialect, grandma is called "a trip", expecting to be meaningful. It is estimated that the name travel has something to do with grandma. It is said that there was a kind of food called "tripe" before the Qing Dynasty.

A traveler's name is actually fried, crispy outside and tender inside, radish is fragrant but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, very attractive. When you eat it, you often dip it in balsamic vinegar, which is especially fragrant.

When reporters were looking for this name in the streets, they all asked about the origin of this name. Basically, nobody knows. Many bosses who make this name only know that it has a long history. Even the old woman who lost her teeth was attracted by the aroma when she was fried, so she was called "tripping".

Collect cakes

Gao Lian is a special etiquette food, which is more commonly used than Gaosha. According to Huizhou custom, weddings, birthdays and other happy events should be steamed with red cakes and funerals with white cakes.

In terms of making, cakes are generally four parts glutinous rice and six parts glutinous rice, which is called "four broken six" in jargon. Then add water and mix well, add cake seeds (fermentation products), then make cakes and steam them. Cake is considered as a special etiquette food. Apart from etiquette, there is little buying and selling of goods, which is very different from sand cakes.

Steamed sponge cake

Because its finished product is often mixed with safflower powder and has a large volume, it is also called red hair cake. Red hair cake takes its word "hair" and is widely used for happy events. In Huizhou, the customs such as birthday, birth and marriage are quite particular. Generally, big cakes are cut into small pieces, or as gifts for guests and relatives, or distributed to neighbors. Now the residents in the city and the farmers in the suburbs are still very particular about it. Generally, steamed cakes are made of pure glutinous rice, sugar, baking powder or cake seeds and steamed in large containers. If the steamed cake is big, it will make the host very happy.

magnosaurus

Northerners call it "rice cake", Hakkas call it "sweet", and "big cage" is a special name among Huizhou people. Because Chinese New Year is mostly used for offering sacrifices to gods, ancestors and stoves, it is regarded as sacrificial food for Chinese New Year. The material of the big cage is slightly different from that of the rice cake in the north, but it is similar to the sweetness of Hakka, and it is mainly glutinous rice flour. Add brown sugar, borneol sugar, white sugar or sand sugar according to everyone's needs, and add rice flour according to the degree of hardness. The big cage is food for the Spring Festival. It is a folk custom to stick a piece of Zhang Xiaohong paper on a steamed cage as a sacrifice or give it to relatives and friends.
