Do you want to eat spring cakes during the solar term in beginning of spring?

Spring pancake is a folk food in Beijing, also called pancake, which is a kind of pancake. Chen's comments in the Qing Dynasty: "Spring cakes in beginning of spring are called' Biting Spring'. Every year in beginning of spring, Beijingers eat spring cakes, which is called "biting spring".

As the saying goes, "spring beats six or nine heads." As early as in ancient China, beginning of spring had the custom of tasting spring dishes every day. Du Fu's poem "beginning of spring" said: "In spring, the lettuce in the spring dish is thin, and suddenly I think of the prosperity of Beijing."

Tang's "Four Seasons Baojing" records: "beginning of spring eats reed, spring cake and lettuce, and there is no' dish'." It can be seen that people in the Tang Dynasty have begun to try spring vegetables and eat spring cakes.

Old Beijingers pay attention to beginning of spring and eat spring cakes on this day. The so-called spring cake, also called lotus leaf cake, is actually a kind of hot flour cake-two small pieces of water, oiled in the middle, rolled into pancakes, and peeled into two pieces when cooked. Spring cakes are used to roll vegetables, including cooked vegetables and stir-fried dishes.

Cooking is simple, nothing more than scrambled eggs, fried spinach, shredded Chinese chives, fried bean tooth vegetables, fried noodles and minced meat, as well as cooked food such as sauce elbow, smoked elbow, big belly, small belly, sausage, roast duck, smoked chicken, sauce meat and oven meat. Now most people are ready.

Finally, don't forget to prepare a dish of sweet noodle sauce and a dish of chopped green onion.

Half the fun of eating spring cakes lies in uncovering cakes, smearing sauces, picking vegetables, rolling cakes, and then munching on them, which is a bit of a return to nature. That's what I'm saying. Cooked vegetables are not in the same place.

I remember Su Dongpo wrote in a poem: "The east wind is getting chilly, so I try Artemisia annua and leek spring vegetables." After eating spring cakes and tasting spring vegetables, spring will come.

The second day of the second lunar month is the day when dragons look up ("On February 2nd, dragons look up"). There is an old saying in China. On this day, Beijingers also want to eat spring cakes, which is called "eating Longlin". Spring cakes are bigger than roast duck pancakes, and they are tough (Beijingers call them "strong gluten") because they have to roll a lot of dishes before they can be eaten.
