Relating to oyster cakes with edge paste.

When it comes to oyster cakes, they are basically rice paste. However, this rice paste is flavored with alkali.

Near the store or in the open air, the man holds up the frying pan and opens it. First, pour a spoonful of rice paste into a flat small round spoon with the palm of your hand, put a few oysters mixed with laver as stuffing in the middle, then pour a layer of rice paste on it and wrap the surface. Then, fry in an oil pan until it is solidified. The upward side is crisp yellow, and the downward side is only light yellow, but it will swell up. It tastes crisp and fragrant while it's hot, but it's soft inside, and there are fresh and tender oysters with juice.

I heard a joke about oyster cakes when I was a child. It is said that once upon a time, a large family gave birth to a child, and when the full moon was full, they took it to tell the fortune of Tiezuixian, approving that the child could "turn the sun in the palm of his hand" in the future. The family is naturally happy to hear this, which is not obvious. The following stories are all because I am too young to remember. ...

Are you disappointed? Excuse me! However, in Awakening the World, it is always about corruption-decadence-ruthlessness. You can check it out if you are interested. Later, the son who lived on the street was taken in by the morning market shop and fried the oyster cake. One day, Tiezui Xianyun came to have breakfast. While frying the oyster sauce cake, the grandson sighed and looked at the oyster sauce cake in the oil pan and spoon. Suddenly, he realized: What happened to Tiezui Xianyun? Isn't this "the clouds are floating in front of us, and the moon is in the palm of your hand"? The boiling oil pan blew out steam, and the rice slurry in the spoon was as white as a full moon, and it was blown into a golden sun in the blink of an eye. There is such a saying that "the sea clouds are in front of you, and the moon turns in the palm of your hand", which really deserves to be called an iron-billed fairy. Naturally, you can't find the ending of the story, and you can't guess. A beautiful daughter of a kind-hearted old shop must have married her unlucky son Egg, who inherited the oyster cake stall and turned it into a giant oyster cake. In the end, he received both money and money, which revived his family style and made him immortal. That is, today's oyster cake stalls are all over Fuzhou. The next time you eat oyster cakes, you must choose breakfast in the rising sun or midnight snack in the willow branches under the moon to taste authentic. Once, I burned my mouth while eating oyster cakes in the street. I looked up and saw that the rising sun in the east and the full moon in the west had not yet sunk. What if the sun and the moon are fighting for glory? Hey, I don't believe it. There is no habit of midnight snack in the north, so oyster cake has long been equivalent to oil cake or fried steamed bread in the north. Breakfast in Fuzhou is far more than oyster cakes, and there is also a shrimp cake that is very similar to oyster cakes. Different from the oyster cake, the rice paste with fried shrimp crisp is added with chopped leek or onion, and the middle of the rice paste is left blank when poured into the spoon, and there is a place for a shrimp. The fried shrimp crisp is ring-shaped and looks like a shrimp lying in a lifebuoy.

The other is taro. Stir the steamed taro powder into thick rice slurry, add some shredded laver and cook it in the drawer like steamed rice cakes. When it is cool, cut it into triangles with a long knife, two inches thick. Also use fried crispy skin and eat thick glutinous taro. It's just that taro is more expensive than rice, and almost no shop is made according to the ancient method. Nowadays, unless you do it yourself, it is difficult to find out the truth.

Finally, mention pancakes. Jiaozi, a pancake in Tianjin, can be described as a "hunger strike", and both the raw material (green soybean milk) and the method (pushing rake) are deserved. But Fuzhou's pancakes are also very distinctive. Add some oil to the wok, stir-fry ginger and leek until fragrant, sprinkle with a handful of mung bean sprouts and stir-fry until half-cooked, then spread with egg paste and stir-fry until cooked. Dip it in sweet and spicy sauce when eating, which is especially delicious. Mung bean sprouts are rich in vitamin C, together with eggs and cereal starch, which are very nutritious in pancakes.

People in Fuzhou love soup. These breakfasts are not only edible, but also most suitable for making instant "fixed edge paste". The "fixed edge paste" is too cold and tastes like rotten batter. There is a saying in Fuzhou that a person is like a "fixed-edge paste", which belittles his friendship with everyone, just like saying that this person is particularly sticky in Beijing.

In my impression, snacks such as "fixed-edge paste" and oyster sauce cakes were originally the best in the antique stalls on the sidewalk of Chating Street. They only work in the morning and evening, and then the reason for urban management disappears. I still miss the dim lights swaying in the cold wind and the voice of the waiter greeting the guests. With their lights and sounds, it is no longer cold to go home at night.
