Hearts are famous snacks in Chaoshan area. It is said that it has a long history, but hearts are well-known snacks in Chaoshan area.
The skin of hearts is made of rice flour made of rice and rouge rice. There are generally two flavors of hearts, one is red bean paste stuffing and the other is glutinous rice stuffing.
Let's talk about the production process of glutinous rice first! Stir-fry fragrant glutinous rice, mushrooms, sausages, peanuts, shrimp skins and other materials with stuffy glutinous rice, then take a lump of glutinous rice skin, put fragrant glutinous rice into the skin, knead it without gaps, and press it on the skin to complete a red glutinous peach. After steaming in the pot, you can enjoy the delicious red peach with glutinous rice flavor.
The production technology of bean paste flavor essence is much more complicated than that of glutinous rice flavor essence. Soak the beans in water until the skin of the beans can be peeled off, then put the beans in a container to make them into mud, and finally cook them in a pot with sugar. This is the process of making the bean paste trap. The following steps have the same taste as glutinous rice. The hearts filled with bean paste are soft and sweet.
The steamed hearts are bright and beautiful, which makes people appetite at first sight, and they want to eat another one after eating one. So hearts are very popular here. In traditional festivals, adults always make red peaches and use them to worship our ancestors and place our grief.
