Homemade salty food

In northern my country, there is a folk custom of "serving salty food to entertain the son-in-law". The so-called "serving salty food to entertain the son-in-law" does not mean that only the son-in-law can eat salty food, but it just means that the son-in-law enjoys the treatment of a distinguished guest. Because only the son-in-law is the distinguished guest in the eyes of the mother-in-law. In the era when living conditions were not affluent, white flour, eggs and oil were hard to come by. It was not easy to take out eggs, white flour and oil to entertain distinguished guests. This shows the mother-in-law's enthusiasm and sincerity towards the son-in-law.

In some places in Shandong and Hebei, there is still the custom of using salty food for sacrifices. On days of sacrifice, such as Qingming Festival, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and the 1st day of October, people will spread salty food or make dumplings and offer them to the graves to express their grief. The custom of using salty food for sacrifices was probably formed because the ingredients are easy to obtain and the method is simple.

The method of making salty food is very simple. Mix flour and eggs into a paste, add vegetables, a little chopped green onion, or other seasonings and salt, brush some oil on the bottom of the wok or pan, spread the prepared batter evenly on the bottom of the pan, simmer, and it will be done in a moment.

Making salty food may seem simple, but it is not easy to do well. The key to making salty food is the heat.

Salty food comes in many varieties because it comes from a wide range of ingredients. The more traditional ones include: pickled toon food, zucchini pickled food, wild vegetable pickled food, shrimp pickled food, sea cucumber pickled food, mushroom pickled food, ham pickled food, etc. Almost everything can be made into "salty food", including pumpkin, winter melon, cucumber, radish, loofah, diced chicken, meat floss, shellfish, meat, etc. The choice of material depends entirely on personal taste and interest.
