So Gray couldn't help showing off on the Internet, but some people commented: The pancake fruit you made is too authentic, with the wrong materials and the wrong way to make it. Gray couldn't help thinking when he was hit.
This paper is divided into three parts. The first part is to show the pancake fruit made by yourself; The second part is the history of authentic pancake fruit; The third part is the reflection on the concept of "authenticity" and its rhetorical questions.
Normal pancake fruit also needs lettuce, fried dough sticks and crispness. Because of the hasty preparation, we didn't have these materials at home, so we only used ham sausage, tofu and cucumber, cut these three into thin strips, and cut a chive into chopped green onion. Gray believes that the lack of materials is the main reason why some people think it is untrue.
Add 200 grams of flour and neutralize it to make batter, and let it stand for 20 minutes. You don't need much flour to make pancake fruit. We are going to eat dinner for three people.
Heat the baking pan, brush a thin layer of oil inside, pour the batter into the baking pan and spread it evenly with a shovel. The thinner the better, the thinner the better to cook and taste better. This step is a crucial step, which tests the technology very much.
When the batter is a little harder and turns into a cake, beat an egg on it, and beat the egg directly on the cake without stirring it into egg liquid, which looks better. Egg white is white, yolk is golden, yellow and white are intertwined, reflecting each other and looking more beautiful.
Before the egg solidifies, sprinkle some black sesame seeds on it, then sprinkle chopped green onion in it, and wait for three minutes. At this time, the bottom side is almost cooked, and the fried eggs look beautiful, a bit like pancake fruit.
Carefully shovel the cake out of the electric baking pan and turn it over. Put ham strips, cucumber strips and tofu strips neatly, and coat them with special sauce to taste the pancake fruit. The knife is seasoned with sauce. The pancakes spread out early are rich in sauces, including sweet noodle sauce, hot sauce and bean curd.
In another three or five minutes, the pancake fruit will be cooked, rolled up and put on a plate. Three pancake fruits are made one by one. The cake in the first gear is a little thick, and it will break when rolled up. This is not successful. The better you do in the end, it's a little pleasing to the eye. I didn't expect the pancake fruit made at home to be so beautiful.
The family sat down to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Although not as crisp as the pancake fruit bought at the breakfast stand, it tastes delicious and delicious, and they think the nutrition is perfect.
When it comes to the origin of pancake fruit, friends will think of Shandong and Tianjin.
First of all, pancakes originated in Shandong. According to folklore, pancakes were invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. On one occasion, Zhuge Liang was defeated and was besieged by Cao Jun in Yishui, Shandong. Because all the cooking utensils of the rotor army were lost, Zhuge Liang asked the soldiers to cook on the gong, so he created pancakes. Today, pancakes are still the staple food of local people in Linyi, Luxi.
The history of pancake fruit originated from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were frequent commercial exchanges between Shandong and Tianjin. Some Shandong businessmen brought pancakes to Tianjin, and Tianjin people created a classic snack of pancake fruit on the basis of pancakes, which quickly swept the country north and south.
People who sell pancake fruit can often be seen at breakfast stalls and community gates in every city. A car and a set of delicious pancake fruit can be made in only three minutes. And there are many grades to choose from, eggs without eggs, intestines without intestines.
Pancake fruit has the smell of bean flour, and the rolled eggs are crispy, covered with hot sauce and seasoned chopped green onion. No matter the taste of chewed head and mouth, it is very exciting and refreshing, giving people a hearty feeling. You can enjoy such delicious food for only a few yuan, so pancake fruit is favored all over the country.
The raw material of traditional pancake fruit is mung bean powder, but in the later stage, there are many practices of using white flour, soybean and black bean powder. But the stubborn Tianjin people still like the traditional mung bean noodle method best. Now, the pancake fruit in Tianjin has become an intangible cultural heritage.
Tianjin Food and Beverage Association established Tianjin Pancake Fruit Branch on 20 18, and in May of the same year, it issued the technical specifications for pancake fruit processing, which made unified specifications and requirements for raw materials, auxiliary materials, sanitary conditions, processing equipment, processing technology and technological process of pancake fruit.
In the field of food, the word "authentic" is particularly popular. When a food is labeled as authentic, it represents the nobility of pedigree and can stand out from the crowd. Moreover, people also agree with authentic food. If the materials and practices of the same food are different, even if it tastes good, it will be considered not authentic.
Brother Lei can't help asking: How did this authentic food come from at first? Did authentic food suddenly fall from the sky? Push forward 100, what are the authentic foods? Forward 1000, what are the authentic foods? What kind of food is authentic when human beings are still eating and drinking blood?
Any kind of food is constantly improved and created on the basis of ancestors. Even the most basic ingredients such as vegetables, fruits and grains. It was also our ancestors who chose the most edible original seeds, and after generations of optimization and cultivation, they evolved into what we see today.
Every dish of food comes from people's careful research or from accidental mistakes. For example, tofu milk and tofu skin are new varieties that appear after tofu is damaged, so beautiful mistakes abound in food links.
Just like today's pancake fruit, it is also delicious food created by Tianjin people on the basis of pancakes. If every kind of food pretends to be authentic and other practices and eating methods are heresy, how can there be thousands of kinds of food in our great country?
Although unified standards and norms are good, they are more conducive to safety management and opening chain stores, but they undoubtedly affect the creativity and imagination of practitioners. Gray hopes that gourmets will continue to try, integrate, improve and innovate on the existing basis, and develop more new dishes and delicacies.
Authentic only represents your taste tradition. You have inherited the achievements of your predecessors and have nothing to be proud of. What you are really proud of is that you have made some improvements and innovations to make traditional food more suitable for modern people's tastes.
I still remember someone said before that authentic hot pot must be heated with copper hot pot and charcoal fire. I wonder where such an authentic hot pot lives now? The ingredients are changing, the fuel is changing, the kitchen utensils are changing, and the tastes of diners are changing. Why can't authentic food change?
Gray believes that the standard of appreciating food, according to the traditional color, smell and taste, plus the requirements of modern nutrition and health, meets the above points and is the best food. As for authenticity, consider it as a feeling, as long as everyone is free.
