Baikui is a rice cake from Fujian. In the past, Baikui rice was made by choosing high-quality winter rice "baigu". The process of making "baikui" was complicated, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources. Soak the "white grain rice" first, cook it in a steamer and "ripe" it, sprinkle a little salt on it, put it in a stone mortar, and spray some cooked peanut oil into the mortar from time to time. Cut into strips or die into pairs. According to a local old man in Fujian, "Baikui" is the highest standard gift given by people in the mountains, and it cannot be given to others at will. People generally choose to give "bai kueh" when they "go out" on the third day of the first lunar month, which means that there is a close relationship between human relationships. At the same time, the delivery of "Bai Kueh" is very particular. Put red or red pieces of paper on the pair of "Bai Kueh", wishing good deeds will be in pairs, and life will be prosperous in the coming year and will last forever. After 90 years of the last century, mechanical grinding "baikui" replaced stone mortar pounding, which saves time and manpower. At the same time, almost no one grows the low-yield rice "White Valley". It is simple and convenient to choose high-quality winter rice on the market. With the improvement of life in the mountainous areas, it is very convenient to eat "Bai Kueh" at ordinary times. Of course, the way of eating is quite particular now. The folklore "Bai Kueh" stir-fried garlic green, where is the year for the New Year? (I mean, it’s always the same every year for the New Year). It’s gone forever, boiled or stir-fried. High-quality condiments such as sea oysters, dried razor clams, shrimps and shiitake mushrooms are indispensable in the "Bai Kueh". "

Stir-fried Bai Kueh

1. Material preparation. To explain, the onion was not put in the end. I think the material is enough. There are red, yellow, green and white. Bright colors!

2. Shred carrots. Chopped greens. Cut tomatoes into cubes. Prepare some garlic flakes.

3. Cut the white kuih into strips, blanch them in a pot and remove them. It's easier to cook later when it's fried. Baikui is very sticky, so it is not easy to cut with a knife, so you can use scissors. Haha. Then add some salt and chicken essence to the water in the pot, so that the white kuih will have a taste after being blanched.

4. The materials are ready. Put a little oil in the pan, sauté the garlic slices, and then fry the carrots first.

5. Then put the greens.

6. Put celery.

7. Put the white kuih. Keep shoveling to prevent sticking to the pan.

8. Put tomatoes. I think tomatoes are very easy to ripen, so I put them in the pot at the end. Its juice is very viscous, so you don't need to cook it for too long. Finally, add some salt, sugar, and light soy sauce and stir fry.

9. The plate is ready! It's so delicious! Haha, praise yourself!

Tips:
Fuzhou people like to eat sweet ones. This kind of sweeter rice cake is probably not eaten by northerners. Stir-fried Bai Kueh is eaten as a staple food. I remember that when I was a child, I usually eat it only during Chinese New Year. Southerners don’t eat dumplings much.

Tips:

1. My dad said it's better to use broccoli instead of green vegetables. In this way, the green is more prominent.

2. Tomato sauce can be used instead of tomatoes.

3. Those who don't like sweets can leave out sugar. Even, just prepare oyster sauce.
