Create a classic and unforgettable Beginning of Summer Egg = Spiced Tea Egg
Time flies like water, and summer begins in a blink of an eye. Spring in the South is very short, just like the fleeting years of youth. Every year, it seems to flash from winter to summer, skipping the most beautiful and comfortable spring. It's hard to react, and it jumps to the furnace-like hot summer. Speaking of the Beginning of Summer; the Beginning of Summer in 2015 is May 6, which is the eighteenth day of March (small) in the lunar calendar of 2015. It marks the end of spring and the beginning of summer. This day was called the end of spring in ancient times. These simple and clear words herald the end of spring. Traditionally, people often regard the Beginning of Summer as an important solar term when the temperature rises significantly, the heat is approaching, thunderstorms increase, and crops enter the peak growth season. The most classic food during the Beginning of Summer is the Beginning of Summer egg. The ancients believed that eggs are round and smooth, symbolizing the perfection of life. Eating eggs at the beginning of summer can pray for peace in summer and withstand the test of summer. The Beginning of Summer usually falls in the fourth month of the lunar calendar. Eggs in April are as cheap as vegetables. People put the eggs in leftover Qijia tea and boil them to become tea eggs. As the saying goes, eggs are hung on the breasts at the beginning of summer, and children will not survive the summer. It means that as the temperature rises and hot summer approaches, children are particularly prone to physical fatigue, weakness of limbs, loss of appetite, and gradual weight loss. This is the symptom of summer heat. It is said that as long as you eat eggs on the day of the Beginning of Summer, you can prevent this disease. Of course, no one knows who this statement came from, but after being passed down from generation to generation, it eventually became a custom at the beginning of summer, and eating eggs is good for the heart, which coincides with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine that the beginning of summer nourishes the heart.

Octopus balls
Octopus balls, also known as takoyaki, are a famous snack originating from Osaka, Japan. Nowadays, in the streets and alleys of many cities in our country, there are some vendors pushing carts selling goods along the street. The carts are always crowded with children, big, small and half-grown. Although it is cooked and sold right away, looking at the batter, the indiscernible ingredients, and the dark sauce makes me feel uneasy. In my opinion, this thing is essentially similar to the dumpling pancake in the north - ingredients are added to the batter and fried. But just such a small meatball also embodies the characteristics of Japanese food, such as a variety of ingredients and a little bit of everything; the use of seafood; and the beautiful shape, unlike us who just spread out the pancakes. Learn to make it at home, find a recipe, and pay attention to the following points to make a very authentic taste - first, the batter. In addition to flour, the batter of authentic takoyaki should add yam powder or yam paste. Even the finished takoyaki powder sold on the market also has yam powder in its ingredients, which should be a major feature of takoyaki; Secondly, the seafood in the auxiliary ingredients should of course be fresh octopus. If you can't buy it, you can use squid, octopus, octopus and other octopus uncles with sucker whiskers instead. As long as it is fresh, there is not much difference in taste; I think the squid plate has the best taste; thirdly, it is the shape. To fry it into balls that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, you need a special takoyaki mold. I haven't seen any of them on the market, but after searching online, I found a lot of them. I really like eating them, so I'll give them a try. Otherwise, just fry it into pancakes. Finally, seasonings. The takoyaki itself has no taste, and the flavor depends entirely on the seasonings sprinkled on at the end, the most important of which is teriyaki sauce. You can go to the supermarket to buy it, or you can make it yourself (here’s how to do it). You can buy everything else, which is always better than what you get at a food stall.

【Steamed Pork Ribs and Peas】---Hometown dish from snack to adult
Winter is a good season to eat peas. Green peas are not only attractive in color, but also have good nutritional value. They are rich in lysine, which is not found in other grains. Lysine is an amino acid needed by the human body, an indispensable nutrient, and one of the essential amino acids for the human body. It can promote human development, enhance immune function, and improve the function of central nervous tissue. The substances it contains, such as antagonism, gibberellins, and phytolectin, also have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and metabolism-enhancing functions. So in this season when fresh peas are on the market in large quantities, don’t miss out on tasting their deliciousness. Steamed peas with pork ribs is my favorite among the many pea recipes.
