No matter happy or unhappy, no matter busy or bored

The festivals always come one after another...

During the May Day holiday, we ushered in the first solar term of summer-Lixia.

Twenty-four solar terms, each solar term has a corresponding food to eat, Lixia, what do you want to eat?
In Hunan, Lixia wants to eat dumplings. Why do you want to eat dumplings? I really can't tell.

These are actually customs passed down from the ancestors.

According to legend, Li Xia Day is the birthday of the cow. In order to reward the diligent, down-to-earth cows, people use glutinous rice to make rice balls for the cows to eat in Li Xia day, hoping that the cows can work harder.

Because Li Xia is the turn of spring and summer, it is the best time for children to grow and develop. Later, people use glutinous rice flour and more growth-promoting ingredients to make delicious dumplings for children in Li Xia. Children eat, which means that children can grow as strong and practical as cows. Family members will reunite to make dumplings and enjoy them together on this day, gradually forming the custom of eating dumplings in Lixia.
Nowadays, food is all about innovation. The traditional glutinous rice dumplings can no longer arouse everyone's appetite!

Lixia this year, let's try the creative way of dumplings. My baby ate two bowls in one go. It was so enjoyable!

Spring is the season when all kinds of wild vegetables are on the market. When we were young, my mother would often make buffalo flower cakes, so we liked the taste of buffalo grass since we were young. The dumpling we made today is made with buffalo grass juice and noodles. The color is green and has a light fragrance. It is not to mention refreshing. A little tapioca is added, so it tastes soft and has a slight Q-bomb. It has delicate meat fillings and the soup is slightly spicy. Eat a few more and you won’t have the greasy taste of glutinous rice dumplings. If you eat a large bowl in the morning, the sleepy bugs will run away all at once!
This Lixia dumpling can be salty or sweet. Children like to eat sweets, so mothers make them sweet. Now for health, they usually make salty ones. The filling can be filled with black sesame peanut filling or red bean paste according to your preference. The fillings are all made. If it is sweet, it is recommended to make the low soup salty, so that it will not feel greasy.

Of course, if you want to save trouble, don't make stuffing, just make it into dumplings!

Tips:
When the buffalo grass is muddy, the less water, the thicker the juice and the more beautiful the color. It is recommended that you use a cooking machine.
If you don’t have a machine, just cut it with a knife. When we were young, we used a knife to cut it into sections and mix it with flour. When we chewed, we still tasted the taste of buffalo grass, which is another flavor.
This ball can be made into sweet or salty. The filling can be made of meat, sugar or red bean paste. They are all delicious!
