Basic Introduction to tsamba in Luolong

In recent years, Changdu has taken the "Luozong" tsamba industry in Luolong County as the center, made full use of the advantages of cultivated land leveling and concentrated land resources, raised funds of 42.7 million yuan, built 100000 mu of high-quality highland barley planting bases in Luolong, Bianba, Dingqing, Changdu and other counties, and produced 15 million kilograms of high-quality highland barley annually. The production and operation model of "factory base farmers" has been adopted, and purchase contracts have been signed with growers, radiating and driving the income increase of farmers and herdsmen, with an annual output value of 120 million yuan

The origin of tsamba in Luolong County of the Xizang Autonomous Region covers the administrative regions under the jurisdiction of 11 townships, including Zituo Town, Shuodu Town, Kangsha Town, Mali Town, Ouxi Township, Lajiu Township, Zhongyi Township, Yuxi Township, Xinrong Township, Dalong Township and Baida Township

Method of making

Use a pottery jar to burst barley flowers: First, pour coarse sand particles into the jar and heat it up until the bottom of the jar is almost red. Immediately pour an appropriate amount of barley into the jar, hold both ears and shake the jar. A few minutes later, smoke rose from inside the jar and the sound of barley bursting was heard. After the sound of explosion has basically stopped, the barley flowers will burst and the sand will be leaked out with an iron sieve

Stir fry barley flowers in an iron pot: Pour an appropriate amount of barley into the iron pot, gradually heat it up, and continuously use shrub branches to brush and stir the barley evenly in the pot until the barley flowers burst out. Changdu and Linzhi regions, as well as the pastoral areas of northern Tibet, use flat bottomed iron pots, sometimes with sand added, but do not add sand when stir frying barley in large quantities. Due to the high temperature in front of the stove, people who control the heat often sweat profusely. If you want to make refined tsamba, the highland barley flower should be put into the leather bag and trampled with your feet, leaving the highland barley flower core

When grinding tsamba, water mills are often used, which are installed on canals or natural streams. The lower grinding disc is fixed, and the upper grinding disc is fixedly connected to the wooden water wheel shaft. The shaft extends downwards through the hole in the center of the lower grinding disc, and a water wheel is installed at the lower end, which drives the upper grinding disc to rotate. The upper grinding disc has imported materials, and a fixed skin funnel is installed at the top of the feeding port, which is filled with barley flowers. Tie a crossbar at the bottom of the funnel, and place a short rod vertically at the end of the crossbar, in contact with the edge of the upper grinding disc. When the grinding plate rotates, the wooden stick will be vibrated, and the highland barley will slowly flow into the feed port of the grinding plate, and constantly feel tsamba

How to eat

When eating tsamba, you can usually use buttered tea and tsamba flour to mix, and if possible, add white sugar and milk dregs, which can increase the taste and appetite; When the Han people eat tsamba, if there is no butter tea, they can use pig oil or cooked clear oil instead, and then add boiled water and sugar to stir it
