Women, don’t miss the health-preserving methods left by our ancestors, detoxify, nourish, and invigorate blood, and make delicious small cakes!
Women are a special group, they shoulder the heavy responsibility of raising children. Even after children are born, they still have to take care of their diet, daily life, and a pile of household chores. In ancient times, women were better off not going out to earn money, but modern women have to share the burden with men, under the dual pressures of work and life, they often exhaust themselves. Adding to that the monthly period, which is always particularly troublesome, women generally appear older than men of the same age. I remember before getting married, every time I had my period, my mom always made a bowl of sweet fermented rice, added brown sugar, meatballs, or even an egg, cooked it and asked me to eat it. At that time, I didn’t know why I had to eat these things, but now I understand, I now know my mom’s good intentions.
Sweet fermented rice is a good thing left by our ancestors, with a history of over 2000 years of consumption, it is made from superior glutinous rice, fermented and processed. It originated in the Han Dynasty, flourishing during the Qing Dynasty. They are also called sweet rice wine, rice wine, sweet wine, etc., with a sweet, fragrant, and mellow taste, deeply loved by people. Not only that, delicious sweet fermented rice is also very nutritious, it contains rich sugars, amino acids, trace elements like tyrosine, as well as vitamins C, A, D, E, K, etc., it has many functions such as detoxification, nourishing the skin, invigorating blood, promoting digestion, nourishing yin and kidney, dispelling wind and dampness, especially friendly to us women. If we can eat some sweet fermented rice in moderation every day, it can invigorate blood, nourish the skin, promote blood circulation and relieve blood stasis. Especially for women with menstrual pain, besides paying attention to keeping warm in daily life, they can also eat more sweet fermented rice to clear blood stasis.
Sweet fermented rice is usually used to make soup or desserts, sometimes cooked with meatballs, red sugar, eggs, or eaten directly. But in my family, we like to make cakes with it. The small cakes made from sweet fermented rice are fluffy, soft, with a strong wine aroma, much tastier than cakes made from other ingredients. You can give it a try.
Dish name: [Sweet Fermented Rice Small Cakes]
Main ingredients: 1 small bowl of sweet fermented rice, 3 tablespoons of flour.
Seasoning: 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Preparation time: about 6 minutes.
Steps:
Step 1, knead the dough. In a bowl, add 1 small bowl of sweet fermented rice, 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, mix until cotton-like, then knead into a slightly soft dough, brush with cooking oil, cover with plastic wrap and let it ferment until double in size.
Step 2, sealed fermentation. This dough is very sticky, remember to apply cooking oil to your hands. Also, no need to add yeast when kneading the dough because sweet fermented rice is also made by fermentation, it will ferment on its own after kneading into a dough. After about an hour, it will be ready for fermentation.
Step 3, knead. Sprinkle dry flour evenly on the cutting board to prevent sticking, take out the dough, place it on the dry flour, knead and deflate, then divide it into small pieces.
Step 4, fry. Brush the pan with cooking oil, place the small cakes when hot, fry over low heat, fry one side until golden brown, then flip to fry the other side.
Step 5, done. Remember to fry over low heat, don’t rush it, after flipping a few times, the small cakes will turn crispy, swell, add a little boiling water, cook off the moisture, then ready to serve.
Step 6, finished product. The sweet fermented rice small cakes made in this way are softer than baked bread, and especially fragrant. I like them crispy, so I fried them a bit more. If you don’t like them too brown, you can shorten the cooking time.
I had devoured three just after they were cooked, I only managed to photograph 3, hahaha, they are so popular!
