Spring Seasonal Fresh Elm Bud Nests

Fresh elm buds (washed and stems removed), an appropriate amount of flour.

A pinch of salt, a tiny bit of baking soda (to make the color green), 2 grams of Thirteen Spices in warm water.

Mix and knead into a slightly firmer dough (add small amounts of water gradually as needed).

Rub some oil on your hands, take about 60 grams of dough, roll it into a ball in the palm of your hand, and then use your thumb to make a hollow at the bottom (to steam it through easily).

Line the steamer basket with a silicone steaming cloth or brush with oil, and place the pieces apart to prevent sticking.

After the water boils, steam for 13 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it sit for 2 minutes.

Soul Garlic Paste Preparation: Crush garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar, a little sesame oil.

It tastes so good that I’m dazed…

While the elm seeds are still swaying on the branches, quickly bring spring to the table!
