2024-11-02 14:59:18 307

As a native of Inner Mongolia, from studying abroad to later marrying into a foreign land, I always miss the various delicious foods of my hometown. After getting married and starting a business, although I often ask my mother about the preparation of various delicious foods and make them myself, the taste is always unsatisfactory due to slight differences in ingredients between the north and south. Over time, what I am most looking forward to is returning home during vacation and tasting various hometown dishes made by my mother. This is my favorite flavor. It's a pity that I didn't go home for the Chinese New Year this year due to the epidemic, but fortunately I can make up for it during my free time recently. After returning home, as expected, my mother started making various specialty foods again. Today, I will share with you an authentic Inner Mongolian cuisine - Slightly Beautiful. The appearance is similar to southern roasted wheat, but the ingredients are different and the taste is vastly different. It is a traditional cuisine in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia, rich in local characteristics. I have tried various hotels and restaurants in different places, and still think that my mother's cooking is the best, perhaps because this slight beauty is infused with my mother's strong love for me. Without further ado, let me briefly introduce the method to everyone.

Steps to make Inner Mongolian Specialty Cuisine - Slightly Beautiful

1. Clean two pounds of lamb meat, cut them into small pieces, and then put them into a meat grinder to grind them into meat filling. The size of the meat filling particles depends on their own taste. I prefer a more delicate filling.
2. Add 30ml of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of white pepper powder, and 1 tablespoon of Sichuan pepper oil to the lamb filling.
3. Add 2 eggs.
4. Add a small amount of water multiple times and stir vigorously in one direction.
5. Add a spoonful of five spice powder and an appropriate amount of chicken essence.
6. Wash half a pound of scallions and 2 large pieces of ginger thoroughly.
7. Stir into filling.
8. Add it to the lamb filling.
9. Add an appropriate amount of salt and stir evenly.
10. Add a large amount of potato starch.
11. Stir vigorously in one direction.
12. Buy ready-made slightly beautiful leather.
13. Take a piece of roasted wheat husk and add an appropriate amount of filling.
14. Use five fingers to pinch upwards along the skin and wrap it into a shape similar to a pomegranate.
15. Do everything in the same way.
16. Boil water in advance in the pot and steam over high heat in a steamer for 8-10 minutes.
17. Time is up, delicious dishes are cooked. Stained with vinegar and oil, splashed with chili, it's simply delicious.
