Since ancient times, there has been "no dead locust in Shandong" , which means that even if the trunk in the middle of the locust tree in Shandong Province is empty, it will not die! There is also an old locust tree on Ouyuan Street in Qingzhou City, Weifang. Under the old locust tree there is a halal water fried bun shop.
The Old Locust Tree Fried Buns have become a calling card for Qingzhou cuisine and a memory of the hometown that many people in Qingzhou can not erase. Early in the morning, people line up to buy fried buns. There are two kinds of stuffing, one is beef, the other is Leek and bean curd. Because it is a time-honored brand, coupled with good taste, and relatively affordable prices, welcomed by local and foreign customers.
Fried buns are made with mincemeat and vegetarian fillings. The production method is basically the same. First of all, raw materials, including yeast powder, flour and warm water, should be prepared. As for the filling materials, you can choose your own according to your personal preference. The mincemeat can be filled with beef, pork, etc. , as the Qingzhou Sawaki is a halal restaurant, they use beef with a few seasonings in addition to the main ingredients, including cooking oil, sesame oil, chicken juice, salt, soy sauce and 13 spices. When making, put the yeast powder into the basin, boil it with warm water, then add the flour, and make a soft and hard dough to keep the surface smooth, so that there is no sticky face on the basin and hands, cover the basin and wait for fermentation. The filling can be prepared when the dough is leavened. The filling is first chopped into mincemeat, or ground into mincemeat by a machine, then marinated with soy sauce, salt, 13 spices and chicken juice for a period of time. Then the leavened dough is taken out, knead the dough and cut it into the right size dough. Roll the dough with a rolling pin to make the skin, then wrap it into a bun shape.
