Eat stewed rice on February 2nd
Overview
Tomorrow is February 2nd, and the dragon raises its head on February 2nd. There are many folk delicacies in various places. What I have known since I was a child is that here we eat spring pancakes, braised rice dumplings, fried soybeans, popcorn, and fried rice cakes. It seems that except for eating braised rice dumplings, the food in most places is similar. Only eating braised rice dumplings is unique to Tianjin people. I have not checked where else eats braised rice dumplings on February 2nd. If you have braised rice dumplings on this day, please leave a message. The stew is fried on both sides and then topped with sesame sauce and mashed garlic. The garlic is soft and fragrant and very delicious. Therefore, eating fried stew at this time of year is considered satisfying and the New Year is complete. In Tianjin every year on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the stews are on the market. There are pure mung bean flour, potato flour, and pea flour. The mung bean flour is the most beautiful when it is white and has a light green color. The potato flour is black and not as beautiful as mung bean flour. However, the potato flour has the strongest taste and the price is also the most expensive. The potato flour is the second best, and the pea flour is the cheapest. You know, there are many vendors who sell shoddy products as good ones because of the beautiful colors. I use potato flour to make the stew. I want to choose potato flour with high viscosity and few impurities. The method is very simple and very fast, so making it yourself is not only healthy, but also fun.
