Look for the flavor of the year in your memory
In my childhood memories, Qu Blind Jelly and Brown Sugar Pot Helmet were essential delicacies for the Chinese New Year every year. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, my family and I will gather together to taste Qu Blind Jelly and Brown Sugar Pot Helmet, and feel the strong flavor of the New Year.
Qu Blind Jelly is a refreshing and delicious cold dish, and its production process is very particular. First, the high-quality mung bean starch is stirred well with water, then heated and boiled in a pot, and then cut into thin strips after cooling, and then various seasonings such as vinegar, garlic, sesame paste, chili oil, etc., the taste is smooth and delicious. In the cold winter, a bowl of Qu Blind Jelly can not only quench cravings, but also play a role in cooling off.
And the brown sugar pot helmet is another delicacy that I will never forget. A pot helmet is a traditional pastry with a crispy exterior and a sweet filling. The brown sugar pot helmet is mixed with brown sugar and bean paste and filled in the pot helmet, and after high temperature baking, the sweetness of the brown sugar and the crispiness of the pastry are perfectly blended, making people have an endless aftertaste.
In addition to the food, Qu Blind Jelly and Brown Sugar Pot Helmet also carry the warmth of home and the joy of reunion. During the Spring Festival, families rush home from all over the world to sit around the table, tasting food and sharing each other's stories and happiness. This atmosphere made me feel a strong flavor of the New Year, and it also made me cherish the time I spent with my family even more.
Nowadays, although Qu Blind Jelly and Brown Sugar Pot Helmet are no longer the luxuries in my childhood memories, in my heart, they are still the most representative New Year's flavor. Every time I taste these two dishes, I think of the happy times of my childhood and feel the warmth and happiness of home.
