Aiye Youth League

Introduction:

"Qingtuanzi, it's my first time to see it at my mother-in-law's home in Jiangnan, and I fell in love with it at first sight. My mother-in-law knows that I love it, and always tries to make some for me when we go home. Now my mother-in-law is old, and she hasn't done it for many years. It's said that it's very troublesome to do it. I'd like to thank her for her love for me. Without the youth league made by my mother-in-law, I still miss it in my heart. I bought it in the supermarket, but it's not that flavor, it doesn't have that unique fragrance... So I have the idea of making my own youth league. My mother-in-law's Youth League is said to be made of wheat straw. I'm a little at a loss about wheat straw, so I finally found the Youth League I can make in this season - moxa leaf, but where can I find moxa leaf? I only know the dried Wormwood Leaves in the Chinese pharmacy. I really haven't seen the fresh ones..... It's a coincidence that I talked about moxa leaf with a colleague a few days ago. It seems that at that time, I didn't mean to be a Youth League, but to soak my feet. It's good to pick some moxa leaves this season, dry them in the sun and soak my feet. The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. I didn't expect that this colleague brought me a bag of fresh moxa leaf on Monday. I was really moved, so I got the "moxa leaf Youth League"

Production steps:

Step 1: put 5 grams of alkali into the boiling water pan, wash the Wormwood Leaves, blanch them for 3 to 5 minutes, remove them and rinse them in cold water for several times to get bitter taste.

Step 2: knead the washed Wormwood Leaves and glutinous rice flour into a dough, cover with a wet drawer and cover for 20 minutes.

Step 3: in the noodle making time, make the filling, white sesame + peanut + rock sugar.

Step 4: divide the dough into about 30 grams (for the sake of symmetry, ha ha).

Step 5: after filling, roll a layer of salad oil on the surface to prevent cracking after cooling.

Step 6: pot, just can put ten, the mat is cabbage leaves, brown leaves better.

Step 7: boil for ten minutes.

Step 8: it's greener on the plate.

Step 9: subtle aromas of argyi leaf, sesame and peanut.

Materials required:

Appropriate amount: Artemisia argyi

Glutinous rice flour: right amount

White Sesame: right amount

Peanuts: moderate

Rock sugar: right amount

Note: put some Artemisia argyi leaves into the cooking machine and beat them into juice. Later, I found that it's OK not to use the cooking machine, because the tender Artemisia argyi leaves melt in the kneading process. The filling can be made according to your own taste, sweet or salty. After wrapping, brush a layer of salad oil to prevent cracking after cooling. Before entering the steamer, be sure to wait for the water to boil and then put them. It's easy to form. Under the dumplings, lay vegetable leaves or brown leaves
