理論上,能吃的東西都可以成為月餅的餡料肮雨,這點在廣式月餅里體現(xiàn)的尤為明顯遵堵。廣式月餅是甜味的,主要在廣東怨规,餡料成分極多陌宿,最常見的餡料包括蓮子,西瓜籽波丰,火腿壳坪,雞肉,鴨肉掰烟,叉燒爽蝴,蘑菇和蛋黃(lotus seed paste, melon seed paste, ham, chicken, duck, roast pork, mushrooms, and egg yolks)沐批。廣東人的吃本領(lǐng)絕對是一大特色,為了不影響胃口就不一一枚舉蝎亚,總而言之廣東人在吃上絕對具有冒險天性(adventurous nature in eating)九孩。
蘇式月餅,既有甜味发框,也有咸味躺彬,歷史非常悠久,已有一千多年的歷史梅惯。蘇式月餅皮層酥松宪拥,餡料肥而不膩(layers of flaky dough and generous allotment of sugar and lard),蘇式月餅的調(diào)性和蘇州的文化底蘊(yùn)可謂相得益彰个唧。
京式月餅源于京津江解,有股細(xì)膩的甜味设预,適度配比的餅皮和餡料徙歼,以及精致的雕花(moderate allotment of skin and fillings, and meticulous decoration),餅皮和餡料的配比通常是4:6鳖枕,非常講究魄梯。
傳統(tǒng)的月餅餡料(Mooncake Fillings),雖然有地域差異宾符,但是最常見的還是蓮蓉(Lotus seed paste)酿秸、豆沙 (Sweet bean paste)、五仁(Five kernel)魏烫、蛋黃(Egg yolk)辣苏、棗泥(Jujube paste)等。
蓮蓉(Lotus seed paste)哄褒,由干蓮子制作而成稀蟋,被認(rèn)為是最美味,也最奢侈的餡料(most delicious and luxurious filling )之一呐赡。
Lotus seed paste is a Chinese dessert ingredient made from dried lotus seeds. It is traditionally considered as a luxurious ingredient.
可將蓮子浸透加水煮退客,熟后隔水??碎,再放入鑊中加砂糖和油炒链嘀、再加入麥芽糖拌勻即成蓮蓉萌狂。
First, the dried seeds are stewed in water until soft and then mashed into a fine paste. The paste is then watered down to a thin slurry and passed through a sieve and into cheesecloth, with which it is squeezed dry. This produces a fine crumbly paste, which is then mixed with sugar or other sweeteners and often oil to produce a smooth, sweet paste.
豆沙 (Sweet bean paste),豆沙餡分為綠豆沙怀泊,紅豆沙和黑豆沙等類別茫藏。
中國北方的豆沙餡的做法是將紅豆去掉豆皮,弄碎煮爛霹琼,加糖务傲,再用油炒一炒冤留。
The beans are usually boiled without sugar, mashed, and diluted into a slurry. The slurry is then strained through a sieve to remove the husks. The resulting liquid is then filtered and squeezed dry using cheesecloth, and then finally sweetened. Oil in the form of either vegetable oil or lard is usually added to the relatively dry paste to improve its texture and mouthfeel.
五仁(Five kernel),一般人并不知道五仁餡月餅的五仁是什么树灶,其實是指花生(peanut)纤怒,核桃(walnut seed),瓜子(watermelon seed)天通,杏仁(almond)泊窘,松子(pine nut)。取名五仁像寒,有圓滿和諧的寓意烘豹。
蛋黃(Egg yolk),一般把整個咸鴨蛋黃放在月餅中央诺祸,這個蛋黃代表著月亮携悯,象征著滿月(full moon)。
棗泥(Jujube paste)筷笨,由成熟的紅棗制成憔鬼,呈暗紅色。
中秋吃月餅胃夏,這已經(jīng)是華人根深蒂固的一種觀念了轴或,那為何在中秋這天吃月餅?zāi)兀?/p>
中秋一詞,最早見于《禮記·月令》上說:“仲秋之月養(yǎng)衰老仰禀,行糜粥飲食照雁。”答恶,也提到中秋有拜月的活動饺蚊,但并沒有說明是八月的哪一天。中秋之時傳遞著豐收悬嗓、感恩污呼、祈禱、團(tuán)聚的含義烫扼。
中秋節(jié)起源的神話傳說曙求,最廣為人知的是嫦娥奔月的故事。
不過據(jù)歷史學(xué)家研究映企,中秋節(jié)起源應(yīng)為隋末唐軍于大業(yè)十三年八月十五日悟狱,唐軍裴寂以圓月作為構(gòu)思,成功發(fā)明月餅堰氓,并廣發(fā)軍中作為軍餉挤渐,并成功解決因大量吸收反隋義軍而衍生之軍糧問題。唐朝以后双絮,中秋節(jié)用于賞賜群臣浴麻。
于是沿襲下拉的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日中秋節(jié)得问,人們吃月餅、看滿月软免、猜燈謎宫纬。圓圓的月餅好似滿月一般,象征著團(tuán)圓膏萧。
Traditional celebrations include sharing mooncakes, admiring the full moon, and playing riddles, a highly engaged word game written on paper lanterns. The perfectly round mooncakes resemble the full moon and are symbols of unity.
