As the saying goes, "Fireworks in the world are the most popular." It is the best life to enjoy life in every bowl of human fireworks. Hello, everyone. I'm Xiaofeng, a mortal who likes to make delicious food. Every day, besides going to work, I climb mountains and share delicious food. If you also like delicious food, please pay attention to me~
Pumpkins were abundant in the famine years. Pumpkins were the main food rations in my childhood. Every autumn, my family would store a lot of large pumpkins, and my mother would eat pumpkins in a different way. When the cold wind blew outside, the pumpkins at home were steaming hot. When I took a bite, they were sweet, soft and glutinous. My mouth was full of fragrance. In the age of food and clothing shortage, pumpkins gave my young soul satisfaction and sweetness, So the love for pumpkin is still unique.
When it comes to pumpkins, I believe you are no strangers. They are all called "Japanese melon" in our northeast. After coming to Shandong, many people call them "house melon". It is said that there are other places that call them "golden melon" because of their golden color. Whatever it is called, it is rich in protein, carbohydrate, vitamin C, E and or radish element, minerals such as calcium and cobalt, and nutrients such as mannitol and citrulline, which can play a role in tonifying the middle and supplementing qi, reducing blood fat and blood sugar. Pumpkin is especially rich in pectin, which can play a good role in weight loss and detoxification It is recorded that "Pumpkin is warm in nature, sweet in taste and non-toxic. It can enter the two channels of the spleen and stomach, moisten the lungs and replenish qi, remove phlegm and pus, drive insects and detoxify, and have diuretic and weight loss effects."
Pumpkin is nutritious and delicious, so there are various cooking methods. You can make a Manchu and Han full pumpkin feast. Pumpkin glutinous rice, pumpkin cake, pumpkin cake, baked pumpkin with egg yolk, pumpkin porridge, and so on. Each method is so nutritious and delicious that people can't stop. But what I always miss is Grandma's method. Steaming in a pumpkin pot can't buy it with money, Grandma taught some tricks secretly. Unfortunately, not many people know them. Let's have a look.
1、 The rind of the washed pumpkin is removed and cut into thin slices. To save time, we should cut it as thin as possible, and then put it into a steamer. After boiling, steam it for 10 minutes.
2、 Ten minutes later, we could easily pierce it with chopsticks. The pumpkin was steamed, taken out and put into a large bowl, and then mashed into pumpkin mud. Try to mash it as carefully as possible. After mashing, add two teaspoons of sugar and two teaspoons of honey, and then mix it evenly. Then, pour a small amount of glutinous rice flour several times, and mix it while pouring, until the pumpkin mud has no excess water and can be kneaded into dough.
3、 Dip a little water in your hand in advance, then pull off a piece of pumpkin dough, roll it into a ball, press it into a small cake, then put the pumpkin cake into a plate with white sesame seeds, and stick a layer of white sesame seeds evenly on both sides.
4、 After the electric cake pan is preheated, brush a layer of vegetable oil, and then put the pumpkin cake germ into it. Brush a layer of oil on the top of the cake germ, and then cover it and press the "pancake button" to bake.
5、 In order to heat evenly, we need to turn the dough in the middle until the two sides of the pumpkin cake turn golden. When the middle of the cake starts to bubble, the cake will be ripe. Put it into the plate and you can eat it.
Many people are worried about the loss of nutrition when the pumpkin is steamed. In fact, if the pumpkin is steamed in a pot, it can't be bought with money. Let's take a look at the benefits of eating steamed pumpkin. The Compendium of Materia Medica says it can "nourish the middle and nourish the qi", while the Summary of Medical Forest records that it can "nourish the heart and astringe the lungs". In particular, steaming pumpkins is easier to achieve this effect. In addition, steaming pumpkins can ensure that the nutrients in pumpkins are not lost to the greatest extent. So Grandma said that steaming in a pumpkin pot can not be bought with money. Grandma secretly taught tricks, but unfortunately not many people know.
