Glass leaf cake

The so-called glass leaves are actually oak leaves. Put the batter on the oak leaves, put the stuffing on them, and then steam them together, which is the glass leaf cake (some places call it "sticky mouse"). The reason why it is called glass leaf cake, as the name implies, is that its shape and color are as crystal clear as glass. In some areas of Northeast China, there is a folk saying that people eat glass leaf cakes on June 6th. In the past, the noodles used to make glass leaf cakes were corn (corn) noodles or sorghum rice noodles pulled by water mill, which needed to be covered with screen cloth and dried with grass ash, and then boiled with boiling water. When cooking, add some starch to the flour, and the glass leaf cake made is crystal clear and more beautiful and delicious. Flour can also choose white flour. The customs in different parts of Northeast China are also different. In some places, glass leaves are used to stick mice, glutinous rice flour is used as skin and red bean paste is used as stuffing. Practice: 1. Chop the plum blossom meat or the back arm pointed meat and the pork belly into mud or cut into small dices, add Jiang Mo, spiced powder, soy sauce for coloring, soy sauce for seasoning, salt, chicken essence and cooked oil, slowly add two spoonfuls of water while stirring, stir along one side, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours; 2. Cut the beans in half vertically, then dice them, mix them into the meat stuffing before wrapping, then add chopped green onion, and add a little salt and sesame oil to taste; 3. Add two spoonfuls of starch to the fine corn flour, scald it with boiling water, and then add a little cold water to form a thick batter; 4. Wash the oak leaves and apply the batter to the oak leaves with a spoon; 5. Put the stuffing in the middle or one side, close the leaves, and the batter will naturally stick; 6. Put the wrapped glass leaf cake in a steamer, steam for 18-20 minutes, and stew for five minutes. Cold water or hot water can be steamed, and cold water can be steamed for a while.
