When I was a child, my family would grow leeks every year. Firstly, you can make dumplings to eat, and secondly, you can make leek pancakes. Both of these leek-based pastas are my favorite. Let’s not talk about dumplings today, let’s talk about the leek pancakes in my memory.
I haven’t eaten chive pancakes for many years. I saw one selling chive pancakes in a breakfast shop a few days ago. I bought one and tried it. It tasted good, but it didn’t taste like it did when I was a kid.
I remember when I was in primary school, there was a fried leek pancake selling on the street. Sometimes I didn’t have time to eat breakfast, so I would buy one. At that time, a piece of cake cost 20 cents. His method was different from what he made at home. The cake he made was thick in the middle and thin on the edges. It was deep-fried, and the leeks were only found in a small area in the middle. The edges were crispy when eaten. Crispy, only the small area in the middle has the aroma of chives. The ones made at home are fried, and every piece is covered with leeks, and every bite has a strong fragrance of leeks.
Our family usually eats chive pancakes in the summer. Because I often eat porridge in the summer and my parents have to work, I have to eat something "solid" to withstand the baptism of sweat. So when you eat porridge, you will make leek cakes: add an appropriate amount of salt to the water, then add an appropriate amount of flour, and then add the chopped leeks, optionally adding eggs. Finally, we have to add some of our homemade bean paste, mix it into a batter, and fry it in a pan instead of frying it. The batter cannot be made too dry, otherwise it will taste too hard.
Speaking of this, I seem to have smelled the fragrance of the chive cake. It was a summer, and my grandma took me to pick leeks. An eighty-year-old woman, whose eyesight could no longer see clearly, was groping for the leeks one by one, hoping to make the cake quickly and wait for her son. ——My father, come home for dinner.
Finally, let me tell you how to eat it. If you haven’t finished the leek pancake, you can do this: cut the pancake into pieces, and then cut some sauerkraut, or if you have pickled radish at home, it’s better to put the sauerkraut or pickled radish. Cut into shreds, stir-fry in a pan, add water, add water to the pan, add the cake, and bring to a boil. Then add appropriate seasonings according to your own taste. It’s not bad to eat such a bowl of sour and appetizing soup cake on a hot summer day!
