Basic Introduction to Hardship
In the past, when spring and summer intersected and there was a shortage of food and vegetables in poor families, various wild vegetables were mixed with corn flour, sorghum flour, and even wheat bran and rice bran, and steamed in a pot to satisfy their hunger.
. So there is such a name - 'bitter and tired', meaning both bitter and tired"Bitter and tiring" has a wide range of materials and a simple production method. It can be used for both food and drink, with one dish that is both delicious and affordable, including rice and vegetables. Therefore, people are fond of making "bitter and tiring" food. The production of "bitter and tiring" can be done using vegetables or wild vegetables, such as beans, elm money, locust flowers, broom seedlings, chrysanthemum, etc. (also known as "bean flowers" made from beans). When making, it is necessary to prepare vegetables, dry flour, salt, minced garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, edible oil, sesame oil and other auxiliary materials. The preparation method is as follows: First, wash the selected vegetables, cut them into small pieces or shreds, and marinate them with an appropriate amount of salt for about 20 minutes. The salt will remove the moisture from the vegetables. Then, control the dryness of the vegetables and add an appropriate amount of dry flour while stirring. Mix until a layer of flour is evenly spread on the vegetables until they become independent (do not add too much flour at once, add it slowly). Note that if the flour is added too little, it will result in a "bitter and tiring" taste, making it sticky and not refreshing; If too much flour is added, it will dry out and taste drier and harder. After preparing the ingredients, lay a layer of clean wet gauze on the steaming compartment of the steamer, add water to the steamer, evenly spread the mixed vegetables on the gauze, steam on the steamer, wait for the water to boil, and steam for about half an hour until cooked. Add bottom oil to a wok, stir fry with Sichuan peppercorns and minced garlic until fragrant (you can also add chili peppers, minced meat, etc. according to personal taste. Salt should not be added too much because it is a staple food, but it is too light to taste). Pour in the steamed 'bitter tiredness' and stir well. At this point, a delicious and nutritious "bitter and tiring" dish is ready
This kind of food is still eaten by nostalgic people, but most people no longer eat it. Bitter and tiring vegetables are abundant and scarce, and people like to eat them when there is a shortage of food. Wash some old beans, wild vegetables, elm coins, etc., boil them in a pot, remove them and chop them into small pieces, then put them in the pot. Then sprinkle dry stick noodles on the beans, wild vegetables, or elm coins, stirring with chopsticks while sprinkling. If they are too dry, sprinkle some water. When the vegetables are wrapped in lumps, there is no need to sprinkle noodles. Then start steaming on fire. Some steam directly on the bottom of the pot, while others steam on the steamer. No matter how you steam, cover it tightly. When steaming directly on the bottom of the pot, it is important to control the timing and avoid burning it. The taste of bitterness and fatigue is average, but it can evoke memories of bitterness and sweetness, and adjust the taste of big fish and meat. In the old days, poor people suffered a lot, while wealthy families would just make fun of themselves. People nowadays are nostalgic
