844 packets of glutinous rice balls, shake the Lantern Festival
(Thanks to my friend Mystery Hall Master, Ice Water's Flame Knife Monthly Pass for encouragement)
Chen Hezheng and Locke arrived in Lingshi at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and Locke didn't bring any clothes, but he brought a lot of photographic equipment.
"Uncle Locke, are you going to take a picture of Alex?" asked Alex curiously, crouching beside Locke.
"Well, I'll take a picture of Alex then. But why doesn't Alex call him brother?" asked Locke curiously.
"Uncle Locke is so old, of course he has to be called uncle. The little guy said with a look of ignorance.
"But didn't Alex call Brother Locke before?" Locke couldn't figure it out, why did he upgrade himself after a few days?
Sister Suzanne said that those who don't study in the future will be called uncle. The little guy said seriously.
Locke grinned, did he assign himself to the ranks of his uncle so casually? And don't be so different, Suzanne is older than her own years.
"Alex, come over and help Daddy cook. Liu Heming beckoned to the little guy.
"Dad, you didn't prepare anything to eat. The little one walked over and asked.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, of course I have to eat the Lantern Festival. Does Alex have the confidence to help his father make a Lantern Festival for everyone to eat?" asked Liu Heming seriously.
"Well, Alex will definitely get the job done. The little guy nodded earnestly. It's just that the small mouth grinned again, "Dad, Alex can't do Lantern Festival." ”
"Haha, do it with Dad, Dad will teach you. Liu Heming nodded on the little guy's nose.
The Lantern Festival is also one of the most important festivals in China. If you look forward, only after the Lantern Festival will this Spring Festival be truly over.
However, as such a traditional festival, the north and south are also a little surprised. In the south, most of them are eaten at home, while in the north, they shake the Lantern Festival. The raw materials are all the same, just the production method is different.
Liu Heming also plans to make some of both today, anyway, it's not very troublesome, try every taste.
He made a filling for the rice balls, black sesame filling. While making this stuffing, the little guy Alex also ate several bites of fried sesame seeds.
The method of glutinous rice balls is not complicated, and the glutinous rice flour is also called Jiangmi noodles in the north, just like making dumplings, put the filling inside and then pinch and rub, and a round rice ball is ready.
Alex only watched it once, and the little one learned how to do it. It's just that she gave full play to her personalized approach, and the glutinous rice balls made were large and small, and they were all put aside separately.
After getting it better, Liu Heming put it side by side, and then put it in the freezer to freeze.
Most of the current winters are warm winters, if he was a child, what kind of freezer would he put on the table outside, and it would freeze properly for two hours.
Normally, this filling needs to be filled with some lard to be delicious. It's just that in order to take care of Haya today, I used a little soybean oil and mixed some bean paste into it.
This bean paste is not a finished product bought from outside, but a red bean bought by Liu Heming, cooked and pounded by himself. The bean flavor of this bean paste is stronger, and it is far from being comparable to the finished bean paste.
The rice balls are so good, and there are so many people to help, and it doesn't take long for a pot of good noodles to be wrapped into rice balls.
Lantern Festival, it's not so easy to get, because this Lantern Festival is really shaken out.
The filling is also made by Liu Heming himself, and this filling is richer, not only sesame seeds, bean paste, but also crushed peanuts.
And this filling was also frozen in advance, and it was all made into small plates by Liu Heming, and then put it in the freezer to freeze. It's not very good to take it out now, and Alex frowns when he looks at it.
Bringing the kitchen knife, Liu Heming cut it on the filling board. Chop it into long strips first, then into small cubes. Alex was curious and didn't know what to do in a while.
Liu Heming also brought over the new big dustpan he bought and sprinkled some glutinous rice flour underneath. Then use a large colander to put the freshly cut filling cube in it and quickly dip it in the water.
This is the key to shaking the Lantern Festival, relying on this water to stick these glutinous rice noodles. However, if the speed is fast, it will be easy to melt the filling.
Placing the filling on the big dustpan, Liu Heming grabbed both sides of the dustpan tightly, and then shook it vigorously.
This work is hard work, and the speed of shaking is not too fast, you have to shake evenly.
After shaking for more than ten minutes, Liu Heming saw that it was almost there, so he took out these Lantern Festivals and sprayed them with a small watering can on the side. After spraying, I put it in and shook it again.
After repeating it a few times, this Lantern Festival is considered to be shaken.
"Alex, how is it, have you learned?" Liu Heming asked as he looked at the little guy.
"Dad, I've learned, but I can't hold such a big basket. "The little one is choked up.
"Boss, let alone Alex, it seems that I have a bit of a hard time, and I can only shake it for a while. Locke also said with a wry smile.
"Haha, I've been ready for you a long time ago. Liu Heming laughed and said, and then ran upstairs.
When he went downstairs, he brought back a large pile of small dustpans.
How can you let yourself be affected alone, these people have to shake together.
"Haha, boss, when I set up the camera, I think this event should be fun. Locke said with a smile and got busy on the side.
One person divided a dustpan, and then Liu Heming put glutinous rice flour in it for them, and dipped the filling pieces in water. He doesn't care about the rest, shake it well, and everyone will eat beautifully. If you don't shake it well, everyone can fool around and eat it.
He had just put the stuffing in his big dustpan away, and before he could shake it. I saw a "whoosh" on the side, and a small piece of filling stained with glutinous rice flour flew in at once.
As soon as I looked up, okay, this next time I flew two.
"Daddy, they're disobedient. Alex put down the dustpan she was holding and frowned.
"Don't be in a hurry, just shake it from side to side, don't shake it up and down, and the action can be smaller. Liu Heming comforted the little guy and said.
Alex nodded, picked up the three fillings that had just escaped, and slowly shook them.
Alex's shaking the Lantern Festival is also very distinctive, not only are people's arms shaking, but their little buttocks are also twisting and twisting. It seems that if you don't twist it, you won't be able to exert yourself.
Although everyone is a very serious person when it comes to eating. But in this production process, it also fills these people with joy.
I've never done this before, but it's interesting to see the filling getting bigger and bigger with flour under its own shaking.
Of course, it's not like you can really shake it that well the first time. At present, Liu Heming's Lantern Festival is the roundest, and the rest are all in any shape.
Originally, Locke also had a dustpan, but he found that there was no chance for him to shake it himself. The cameras had been set up, but these people had to let themselves take pictures with their cameras.
The finished product was shaken out there, and his dustpan began to shake a few times.
"Dad, do you think I shake it well?" Alex also brought his small dustpan to Liu Heming.
"Well, Alex did a great job, stick the powder one more time and you'll be able to shake it. After Liu Heming glanced at it, he tried to hold back a smile and said.
It can't be said that the little guy doesn't work hard, but this time the little guy's cooking level has also plummeted. It's still that the little guy's strength is not enough, and he almost shakes the filling inside, and he doesn't stick much glutinous rice flour.
"Dad......" The little guy put down the small dustpan, and then shook Liu Heming's arm.
How could he hide from the little guy like that, people knew that this was a prelude to making fun of himself.
"Okay, go find your mother to shake it together, and then these fathers of yours will help you shake it out, okay?" Liu Heming said with a smile.
"Well, I'm going to find my mother. The little one nodded, and staggered to Sasha's side.
In the end, it turned out that Liu Heming really overestimated everyone. It's almost the same as at the beginning, you can shake it without looking at it, but you can't really ask for this shape, and you can't predict it.
Anyway, let's play, pick up what can be cooked and put it in the freezer to freeze it first. If he can't cook it, he has to sharpen it with a knife and shake it again.
When the stove is lit, the rice balls that were frozen at the beginning are ready to be cooked.
Seeing the rice balls in the pot, Alex, the little guy, came to the spirit, and waited by the pot with a small bowl.
Liu Heming searched in the pot and fished out the super small ones she had packed. The ones she wrapped herself were really too small, and they cooked after a while.
At the beginning, Liu Heming thought that the little guy wanted to taste it first, but he saw the little guy scooping it from his small bowl to the bowl on the side, which was to be shared by everyone.
Seeing this, Liu Heming's heart is like eating an elixir, it is called a beauty. This is my daughter's big baby, it's so sensible.
"Arrogant, too arrogant. In the past, Alex was taught by me well or not. Nina took the bowl handed over by Alex, glanced at Liu Heming and said unconvinced.
"Hehe, that's also my genes. Liu Heming said triumphantly.
Nina is out of power, and although Alex is also her daughter, she really has nothing to do with herself.
In the end, Sasha stepped forward and suppressed the two of them. Today is a festival, and they all eat glutinous rice balls and Lantern Festival honestly.
Although the methods are different, George and the others prefer to eat Lantern Festival.
Because when they eat the glutinous rice balls, they feel a little greasy, and the filling inside is too fragrant, and there are a lot of them. The Lantern Festival is different, especially the standard version shaken out by Liu Heming, there are a lot of glutinous rice noodles outside, and it tastes very good.
Anyway, today's Lantern Festival, these foreigners have a very good and happy time. Anyway, they thought about it, and when they returned to the United States, even if it was not a festival, they could shake some Lantern Festival to eat.
