Sweet soy beans ~ Chaoshan "salty" full of childhood memories

Overview

Crystal clear, soft and delicious, with a hint of sweetness. The more you chew, the more you love it. One after another, you can’t stop eating the side dishes~ Zaxian means side dishes in Chaoshan dialect. There are many side dishes in Chaoshan, such as peanuts, pickles, crispy pickled melons, candied kumquats, etc., which can be called miscellaneous salty dishes. When I was a child, breakfast was always white porridge with side dishes. The white porridge was fixed, but the side dishes kept changing. My second sister and I both like star fruit and sweet soy beans the most. Carambolas are actually candied carambolas. I don’t know why the pickled carambola turns a crimson color, but has a fruity aroma and is unusually sweet and sour. I like sweet soybeans even more, they are sweet and fragrant. Every time after finishing the porridge, I always have to eat a small plate of soybeans before leaving the table to prepare for school. When I grew up, I bought carambolas to eat because I missed the delicious taste of my childhood. However, I unexpectedly found that although the food still looked like the food I ate when I was a child, the taste was not as pure. The fruity aroma is completely gone, leaving only the sweetness, so sweet that it becomes cloying. He couldn't help but sigh. Although the good memories brought to me by the star fruit show have been shattered, luckily the sweet soybeans are left. This simple side dish can be made at home to restore the delicious taste of childhood, which is also a kind of comfort. It's just surprising that everyone in the family likes the Doudou made. Even Father Bear, who doesn’t eat sweets, can eat a whole plate of beans in one morning. Ha, he’s gone very quickly! Dabao and Xiaobao were tired of eating the hard-boiled eggs in the morning, so they ate them with gusto. I felt very satisfied just looking at them. It is a kind of joy of sharing. I feel that the things I loved when I was a child can now be liked by my own children. This is also a kind of inheritance~
