1. Frozen pears
The main varieties of frozen pears are Gai Hua pear, Dashuixiang pear, Pak Lei pear and Qiuzi pear, which are brown at low temperature, and the pears become dark, bright and hard as stone, and a pit is smashed when they fall to the ground. The slightly sour pears and Pak Lei are sweetened after freezing. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao people had the habit of eating frozen pears. Pang was sent to Northern Liao in Song Dynasty and reached the border of Songziling. At that time, it was a poor winter. Liao people put pears frozen as hard as stones in cold water, and the surface of pears cracked with ice. Melted pears taste sweet and delicious.
Step 2 freeze persimmons
The varieties of frozen persimmon are Mopan persimmon and Huoshi persimmon. Slightly sour persimmon, the flesh is sweet and crisp after freezing, and it tastes excellent with ice.
3. Frozen tofu
Frozen tofu in winter is a good ingredient for hot pot and stew. Frozen tofu is to freeze fresh tofu, but in a closed space such as a refrigerator, the moisture of tofu will stay in the body and it is not elastic enough to eat. Frozen tofu in the northeast should be cut inch by inch and placed outdoors, and covered with drawer cloth to prevent dust. The northwest wind took away the moisture of tofu. Frozen tofu is light yellow in color and has enough toughness to withstand the stew in a large pot and the fire of soup. The honeycomb hole is full of soup and becomes the protagonist at the dinner table. Frozen tofu should be frozen in a pot, and it will not taste good when cooked. My favorite food at home is frozen tofu with sauerkraut ribs, and I picked up a shivering frozen tofu. Sour soup adds flavor to vegetarian tofu, which is more attractive and delicious than the meat in the bowl.
4. Frozen cake
Bobo is Manchu, which means dry food. According to the production materials, there are sticky flour cakes, stupid flour cakes and vegetable pies. Sticky flour cakes include sticky bean buns, baked cakes, cut cakes and bean flour rolls (snowballing), stupid flour cakes include steamed bread, steamed cakes and corn flour steamed bread, and vegetable pies include jiaozi and vegetable dumplings. In the past, people in Northeast China liked to make a lot of cakes in winter, and it was more convenient and quick to store them outdoors. Nowadays, local people are familiar with frozen bean buns and frozen jiaozi. The frozen cake should be put into the pocket in time to avoid dehydration and cracking or affecting the taste.
5. Frozen meat
The northeast people's habit of eating frozen meat comes from Manchu, who likes to eat pork, and every family will kill pigs during the New Year. Manchu is still a hunting nation, and the prey that comes back in winter is frozen and preserved if it can't be eaten. There are two main methods: watering and freezing and burying snow to keep fresh: soaking meat in ice water to freeze, and then watering and freezing continuously to prevent frozen meat from air drying and stale; Or bury the meat in snow and water it outside to keep it fresh. When eating, use a pick to scrape the ice indoors and it will melt overnight. Chickens, ducks, geese and poultry killed in the twelfth lunar month are also preserved in this way for consumption in the first month.
6. Popsicle
Popsicles are nothing unusual. What is unusual is the selling posture. In winter, popsicles and ice cream in Northeast China are placed in outdoor boxes. You can choose the one you want, put it in a bag and go to the boss to settle the bill. The colder the weather, the more you want to eat popsicles. If you eat popsicles with heat, you don't have to worry about freezing. Madill popsicle dipped in yogurt, sorbet with bread, guess what it tastes like?
7. sugar-coated berries
Sugar-coated haws are everywhere, and they are also sold in summer in the south, but I always feel that it is not enough not to have a taste of ice. The top stick is strung with pitted hawthorn and wrapped with maltose, which quickly hardens when exposed to cold air. In winter, Sugar-Coated Berry is sweet and sour, cool and delicious, and the frozen sugar water is crunchy when bitten. Now, those who sell candied haws have developed countless designs, such as dates, dates, bananas, oranges and strawberries, as well as cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. Only you can't think of what he can't do. But I still like hawthorn, as the song goes, "It is said that candied haws are sour/sour and wrapped in sweetness/that candied haws are sweet/sweet and sour".
