When I went home this time, I ate Sue Mouse, which I hadn't eaten for many years, which also satisfied my long-cherished wish.
But I still have a little regret. I plan to make pineapple leaf cake again before going home. However, it rained for several days when I went home, so I couldn't pick pineapple leaves, so I had to pin my hopes on the next time!
In my hometown, usually in May and June of the lunar calendar, I go up the mountain to collect tender and big leaves of Poirot and go home to wash them for later use. Add some soybeans to sorghum rice or corn bran, soak it in water for several days, grind it into water, make it into paste, spread it on pineapple leaves, put the prepared stuffing on it, fold it together from the middle, put it on the steaming curtain one by one, steam it on the pot for 15-2 minutes, let it cool for a while after taking it out, and you can eat it.
when eating, the leaves outside are removed, and the Boluo leaf cake has a slight fragrance of oak leaves, which is quite flavor.
stuffing is widely available, which is similar to dumpling stuffing. Seasonal vegetables and wild vegetables can be used, such as leeks, beans, celery and green peppers, with appropriate amount of pork, edible oil, refined salt, vegetarian food and thirteen spices.
there are several homophonic names for bole leaf cake: bole leaf cake, glass leaf cake and tassel leaf cake.
There is another legend about pineapple leaf cake!
The ancestors of Manchu people lived by hunting, and when the hunting harvest was not enough to satisfy their hunger, they also collected the fruits of acorns to eat. At that time, they called the acorn tree "Polo Wood" and the acorn fruit "Polo". Later, there were fewer and fewer wild animals on the mountain, and hunting became more and more difficult. The ancestors of Manchu people learned the appearance of Han people and slowly learned to farm.
However, the ancestors of Manchu changed from hunting age to the early stage of farming age, and people just changed from eating wild animals to eating whole grains, and began to feel a little uncomfortable. I always have a stomachache and feel weak, so I can't go hunting in the mountains, and I don't have the strength to farm. As a result, people became ill, the land was barren, and the tribe was in a state of decline. Just then, an elder in the village had a strange dream: a very beautiful fairy came to the tribe and claimed to be the daughter of the Queen Mother and taught her a good cure. When the old man woke up, he forgot the prescription, only remembering the "old Polo" mentioned by the fairy.
The old man was very upset. This is the immortal's life-saving prescription. How can he forget it? Boluo, the old man has heard from his predecessors that his ancestors were called pineapple wood. She thought and thought, and finally remembered the fairy's prescription. In fact, this prescription is just a kind of food production. Wrapped with pineapple leaves and steamed with various vegetables, you can get rid of the disease.
So she told the people in the tribe to collect pineapple leaves and make them into cakes. After eating for a few days, everyone's diarrhea really got better slowly. Since then, Poirot Cake has become a favorite food of Manchu people. In order to thank the fairy for her guidance, they also made various Poirot leaf cakes to commemorate her.
actually, pineapple leaves are oak leaves, which belong to oak family and have many kinds. The one who can make pineapple leaf cakes must be pineapple tree with large broad leaves. In my hometown, this oak tree is called Hu pineapple. Cyclobalanopsis oak and other leaves are relatively small and not suitable for use.
It's a pity that I didn't eat the long-awaited pineapple leaf cake when I went home this time, but my longing will not be forgotten. Sometimes, it is also a kind of sweetness and happiness to think of it.
what a coincidence! I dreamed it last night! I finally ate sweet and delicious pineapple leaf cake with fragrant oak leaves. Until I woke up, my heart was still filled with the fragrance of pineapple leaf cakes!
