The reunion fruit is a traditional delicacy that must be eaten during the Chinese New Year in Zhuji, my hometown. The reunion fruit is divided into ginkgo and green fruits, and is made by mixing glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour in a certain proportion. Gingko is usually stuffed with salty stuffing, usually stir-fried with pork, tofu, winter bamboo shoots and pickles; green guo is stuffed with sweet stuffing, usually with bean paste and sesame fillings. Green berries are sometimes made into snow dumplings, which are rounded and wrapped with a layer of glutinous rice. I have posted a blog about ginkgo fruits a few years ago, and now I will share with you how to make green fruits. The green color of the green fruit comes from mugwort. My mugwort was picked before the Qingming Festival. If it is properly preserved, it can be used at this time. In the past, the traditional preservation method was to boil it in lime water and then seal it. Now with the refrigerator, you can blanch it, squeeze out the water, and freeze it directly, which is very convenient. The ratio of glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour is not certain. This ratio is what I like. In the actual production process, each family will add it according to their own preferences, and the taste will be slightly different. Green fruits are usually tender green before steaming, but turn dark green after steaming. I took photos before and after steaming, and the contrast is obvious.
