The prototype of fried rice crackers is a folk dish made of dry food made by collecting damp rice from a pot of cooking rice, drying it in the sun, or stir-frying it until it is browned, and then grinding it into flour mixed with sugar.

It doesn't use rare ingredients, and the simplest way to do it is just fried rice noodles and sugar.

But even so, it is still one of the most representative traditional dim sum in the minds of countless people in Guangdong Province.

The most important ingredient for fried rice crackers is fried rice noodles.

It is made in two ways, one is fried with washed raw rice and the other is fried with cooked cooked rice.

The taste of these two rice noodles is different, and the taste of making fried rice crackers is also different.

The fried rice will be harder and the fried rice crackers will be a little harder, and if you eat too much heat, it will be easy to get hot.

The cooked rice fried and dried and ground into flour should be a little softer, and it will not be too uncomfortable to eat too much.

However, cooked rice has to go through a process, and it has to be dried and fried, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, so even if it is a folk, it will not be fried after the rice is steamed, and it is fried with soaked raw rice.

The earliest fried rice crackers were made using only rice flour and sugar water.

Later, some people will add some dried fruits to it to increase the aroma and taste, mainly sesame seeds and peanuts.

Li Yi's fried rice crackers naturally don't only use sesame seeds and peanuts.

Liu Yifei's baked dried fruits are ready-made, Li Yi called Wu Lei, who had finished grinding the powder, and asked him to put all the dried fruits into a stone mortar and mash them into slag with a stone pestle.

Taking advantage of his efforts to pound the dried fruits, Li Yi took out a bag of borneol candy from the pantry, put it in the pot, and boiled the sugar water.

"What's this?"

Wu Lei pestled the dried fruits, and when he saw Li Yi putting something in the pot again, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Borneol candy."

Li Yi explained casually, while pushing the water in the pot with a spoon, cutting the ice candy with the edge of the spoon, and mashing it little by little.

"What kind of sugar is borneol? I've never seen it. ”

Wu Lei looked curious.

"This is eaten more in Guangdong Province, and all you should eat at home is refined sugar such as granulated sugar and rock sugar."

Li Yi explained while boiling the sugar water: "To make fried rice cakes, you need to use sugar water to mix fried rice noodles, and this sugar water must be boiled with borneol sugar."

Borneol sugar is the remaining rock sugar crystallization mother liquor when making rock sugar, which is not very pure sugar residue to put it mildly.

However, although it is not pure, this borneol candy is more delicious and nutritious than pure rock sugar, and it is a good thing. ”

Wu Lei looked at the borneol candy in the pot curiously, and said thoughtfully: "That is to say, this kind of sugar is the kind that precipitates below when making rock sugar, right?" ”

"Yes."

Li Yi nodded: "It is mainly sucrose, and there will be some fine fiber tissue of sugarcane, and various trace elements are much more than pure rock sugar, so this kind of sugar can also be used in medicine." ”

"Awesome."

Wu Lei couldn't help but admire: "With you, I really saw a lot of food that I haven't seen before, it's too long to see." ”

As he spoke, he asked again: "My family in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is also very good at eating sugar, why haven't I seen this kind of sugar?" ”

"Because in the past, this kind of sugar was low-grade goods."

Li Yi explained: "In the past, this kind of sugar residue was cheaper than pure rock sugar, so ordinary people in ancient Guangdong Province bought this kind of sugar to eat.

This kind of sugar can't be sold at a price, so what is the profit from shipping it all the way to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai? So it's all digested locally. ”

"Okay."

Wu Lei took the packaging bag on the side and looked at it: "It's called borneol candy, right?" I'll buy some for my family to taste, this should be similar to brown sugar, right? ”

"It's different."

Li Yi reminded: "This still belongs to the category of rock sugar, rock sugar is cool, eating can clear heat and detoxify, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, but brown sugar is warm, mainly to warm the spleen and stomach, warm menstruation and relieve pain, this score is clear." ”

"Okay, I got it."

Wu Lei nodded: "Then I'll buy some water for my dad to drink and help him quit smoking." ”

Li Yi smiled and glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room, but found that the audience was working on the barrage.

"I didn't buy it, I'm looking forward to receiving it."

"It's easy to use, and I'll buy it back."

"Your chicken tastes good, you should practice for two and a half years, right? Next time, I will repurchase [Rose] [Rose]"

"Very real, recommend buying."

"The user didn't fill in the review."

"Ultraman did it so realistically that it kicked me into outer space."

"I got it, and the child liked it very much."

"This user gives a five-star review!"

"99 messages have been folded that don't help you much."

When the audience in the live broadcast room was live, the borneol candy in the pot had melted.

Seeing that the borneol sugar was completely melted and the sugar water was slightly boiling, Li Yi turned off the fire.

The sugar water used for fried rice crackers does not need to be transformed, it only needs to be cooled and can be used directly.

took the sugar water and put it in the freezer to freeze it, and Li Yi heard the excited shouts of Yang Shaoyue and several people from the oven.

He looked back, only to find that they had already put the first batch of wrapped five-kernel mooncakes into the oven and baked them for five minutes, and were pulling out the mooncake tray and brushing the egg wash on top of the mooncakes.

Cantonese-style mooncakes are brushed with egg wash to create an attractive brown color.

Although far away, Li Yi also smelled the unique aroma of Cantonese-style five-kernel mooncakes.

But this is only the first time to brush the egg wash, and it is necessary to brush the egg wash twice before the five-kernel mooncake is completely baked.

Brush the egg wash once every five minutes, wait until the egg wash is brushed three times, and bake it again for ten minutes, and the mooncake will be completely baked.

This time, Yang Shaoyue's cheers were about to tear off the roof.

"Wow! It's beautiful! ”

"It's so pretty! This is the perfect mooncake! ”

"We're awesome!"

"Let me take a picture! I'm going to post a circle of friends! ”

The girls were thrilled that they wrapped it by hand, pressed it with mooncake molds, and then sent it to the oven to bake.

Except for the skin and stuffing, which Li Yi did, the rest of the work was done by them.

Therefore, these moon cakes are rounded off, which is equivalent to what they do, and they are full of a sense of achievement.

first took hundreds of photos with moon cakes, and then, they all hugged their mobile phones to repair the pictures.

Huang Xiaoming silently took out the moon cakes from the tray, found a knife, cut them into small pieces, and beckoned: "Come and taste them!" Watch out for the burn! ”

When the girls heard this, they immediately came over and each picked up a small piece of moon cakes, and then they all turned on the selfie mode and took various poses with the moon cakes.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoming shook his head and reached out to pick up a piece of moon cake.

Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he hesitated and secretly took out his mobile phone.

Holding the phone in front of him and holding the mooncake to his mouth in one hand, he grinned and snapped a picture with the camera.

Clicking on the scarf, he uploaded a photo with a text: "Looking back, it is still the five-kernel mooncake that is the classic." ”

Clicking send, he looked at the words that the upload was successful, and sent the mooncake into his mouth.

As soon as he bit down, his attention was instantly pulled back.

The five-kernel stuffing, mixed with the unique aroma of olive kernels, is like an aroma bomb, and every time you chew it, it will cause a violent aroma explosion.
