Songxi xiaojiao

Songxi Xiaojiao is a special snack in Songxi County, Nanping City, Fujian Province. Xiaojiao, formerly known as "chopping", as its name implies, means to chop Qin Gui, a great minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, into pieces and cut them into pulp packages to eat. "Xiaojiao" was originally called "Chopping". As the name implies, it is the meaning of cutting Qin Gui, a great minister in the Song Dynasty, into pulp bags to eat. Like fried cypress (fried dough sticks) everywhere, it is used to commemorate the famous Yue Fei. Because Songxi people have to cut it into small pieces before serving it, it is simply called "small corner". "Xiaojiao" has a history of 8900 years in Songxi, and it is a famous food unique to Songxi. How is the small horn made? The main raw materials of small horn are fat meat, sugar and sweet potato powder. Fern powder and yam powder were first used, then sweet potato powder was used, and now flour is used for further improvement. Chop the white meat into paste first, then beat the duck eggs into egg liquid and bake them into egg skins. The egg skin is more exquisite, and the thickness of the egg skin should be uniform, not burnt, even thinner than the spring roll skin, golden yellow and crystal clear. Then sprinkle sugar and flour on the white meat and knead it into stuffing, which should be very sticky and add some water. Because, if you don't add water, white sugar won't melt, and you will chew the candy when you eat it, and the taste is not good. The egg skin should be cut in half. If it is wrapped in too many layers, it will spread out. After making it, wrap it into long strips, and then steam it in an engineering stove for an hour and a half. In the past, only on holidays or when ordinary people hosted banquets at home could they eat small horns. Nowadays, it is no longer difficult to eat small horns. The process of making small corners has also been constantly refurbished and improved with the changes of everyone's tastes. Sliced, dipped in egg liquid and fried, it feels more crisp. There are 6 provincial and municipal intangible cultural heritages in Songxi County, and Xiaojiao, as a unique famous food in Songxi County, is famous on the list, and it is the only intangible cultural heritage on the tip of the tongue.
