It’s Chinese New Year, so make some healthy and delicious snacks. There are so many snacks now, and almost all of them can be bought. For example, melon seeds come in various flavors and varieties, and can be bought and eaten at any time. But when I was a child, there were almost no snacks. The melon seeds were washed and dried when I ate watermelon in the summer, or the pumpkin seeds were washed and dried. I remember that at that time, my mother always boiled the dried watermelon seeds with five spices, which became the five-spice melon seeds that we loved to eat. And the saved pumpkin seeds, my mother always fried them with salt. The fried pumpkin seeds were very fragrant and the skin was crispy. We always grabbed a handful and ate them with the skin. This is a delicious snack in that era of scarcity. Now that pumpkins are on the market, I love to eat pumpkins. I always buy several at a time. I wash and dry the pumpkin seeds. If I save more, I fry them with salt to recall the taste of my childhood. Now this method is called salt baking, and I feel that what I have made tastes reassuring.
