In the fast-paced modern life, traditional cuisine is often forgotten in the corner. However, a recent chance attempt has allowed me to rediscover the charm of Henan's traditional delicacy, five-spice bean foam.
A few days ago, by chance, I saw the sale of a box of spiced bean foam in Dong Yuhui's live broadcast room. As a native of Henan, I became interested in this traditional delicacy and did not hesitate to buy a box.
After receiving the spiced bean foam, I couldn't wait to try it according to the instructions. Unexpectedly, this simple delicacy turned out to be so delicious, thick and delicate to drink, fragrant lips and teeth, not spicy and not greasy, very suitable for the elderly and children at home.
This reminds me of the Hu spicy soup that almost all of us in Henan have drunk. Although the five-spice bean foam is not as well-known as Hu spicy soup in Henan, it also has a long history and profound cultural heritage. Spiced bean foam is known as a living fossil in snacks, and the main ingredient is millet noodles, plus various spices, and the side dishes usually include bean skin, sweet potato vermicelli and green vegetables. This delicacy has a wide edible base in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Anhui and other places, and is even called sweet foam in Jinan.
However, with the passage of time, young people nowadays prefer to drink spicy soup, while children and middle-aged and elderly people eat more at home, resulting in a gradual decrease in sales of spiced bean foam. In order to let more people know and taste this delicacy, I decided to share my experience on self-media, hoping to arouse more people's attention and interest in spiced bean foam.
The production process of spiced bean foam is not complicated, only a few simple steps are required: first, add cold water to the pot, pour in the peanuts, soybeans and other ingredients soaked in advance; then, after the water boils, add sweet potato vermicelli and shredded bean skin, stir the bean foam powder into a paste with cold water, pour it into the pot and stir evenly; finally, cook for five minutes on medium-low heat, put in the greens before leaving the pot, and drizzle with small sesame oil.
Spiced bean foam is not only delicious, but also millet is good for digestion, especially suitable for people with elderly and children at home. For breakfast, if you don't know what to do, try making spiced bean foam and it's sure to become a favorite dish for your family.
Through this attempt, I deeply experienced the charm of traditional food. In modern society, we often pursue novelty and fashion, but ignore the traditional food around us. I hope that through my sharing, more people can rediscover and love these traditional delicacies, and let them be revitalized in the modern society.
Let's work together to pass on these delicacies so that more people can taste this delicious food and feel this culture.
