清明節(jié)的小吃

 

Sweet Green Rice Ball 青團(tuán)

The sweet green rice ball is a Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) food popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. It is also a must-have offering at ancestralrituals in the south of the Yangtze River.

Like glutinous rice dumpling, Qingtuan is made from glutinous rice and stuffed with red bean paste. The difference is that squeezed wormwood or brome grass is used in the making of wrapper.

清明時(shí)節(jié)，江南一帶有吃青團(tuán)子的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。青團(tuán)子是用艾葉(也可以用其他綠色菜葉代替)搗爛后擠壓出汁，接著取用這種汁同晾干后的水磨純糯米粉拌勻揉和，然后開(kāi)始制作團(tuán)子。團(tuán)子的餡心是用細(xì)膩的糖豆沙制成。

 

Qingming Fruit 清明果

Qingming fruit (or Qingming guo). It looks like dumplings in shape, but tastes different from dumplings. The wrapper of Qingming fruit is made from squeezed wormwood, rice and glutinous rice. Finally, it is stuffed with bean filling and cooked by steaming. Aside from sweet fillings, people also use diced bacon, dried bamboo shoot, diced mushroom and dried beancurd as substitutes.

清明果，形狀有些像餃子，但味卻截然不同。清明果的皮是一種叫艾的植物做成的，將艾葉搗爛與米粉攪伴在一起，做成碧綠色的面團(tuán)，鮮嫩欲滴。清明果的餡也是很講究的，制作精細(xì)。有熏肥腸伴芥菜末的，有豆腐干和著韭菜的，還有其他各類美味的搭配。清明包果包起來(lái)和包餃子有異曲同工之效，但包清明果似乎更精致些，那褶折得就像花邊一樣。
