Fried cake shreds are the secondary processing of pancakes, and they are the body of the wisdom of working people on the table. Pancakes were originally a staple food eaten directly, and they tasted better when reprocessed. Fried cake is a special delicacy of Hebei, and its method is:

Prepare shredded cakes, shredded cabbage (or seasonal vegetables such as beans, cabbage, garlic sprouts, green peppers, celery, etc.), cut the tenderloin into shreds, stir in cooking wine, soy sauce and starch and marinate for 5 minutes; Pour oil into the pot, wait for 7 into the heat and put in the green onions and stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the shredded tenderloin, stir-fry until the shredded meat changes color, pour in the shredded cabbage and stir-fry, after stir-frying the bottom of the vegetable, mix the soup, then put the shredded cakes evenly, cover and stuff for two or three minutes, pour sesame oil, stir well with chopsticks, and put on the table. The key to fried cake shreds is the soup, the soup is sticky and not conducive to falling; The soup is less and the bread is dry and hard.

Almost all restaurants in Zhaozhou have fried cake shreds as a staple food. Fried cake shreds are divided into two kinds of meat and vegetables, most of the vegetarian ones are fried with mung bean sprouts and eggs, and the meat ones are fried with shredded tenderloin and seasonal vegetables such as beans, cabbage, garlic sprouts, green peppers, celery, etc., the shredded cakes just out of the pot have a special aroma, straight into the nostrils, stirring your appetite. Stir-fried shredded cakes are served with a bowl of mushu soup or egg seaweed soup, which is very comfortable to eat and is very popular with diners.

Home-cooked fried cakes are not rare, and some people specially drove to Han Village in the north of the city to eat "monkey climbing pole". This crispy fried cake shredded can only be tasted when you arrive in Hancun. But no one in the Hancun restaurant wants to make this "monkey climbing pole" for you, and the person in charge of the stove says that it is really labor-intensive, and the effort is short, it is not delicious, and it also delays the sale.

In a restaurant surnamed Zhou in Hancun, we saw the unique method of "monkey climbing pole" fried cakes. Lao Zhou first prepared a bowl of egg liquid mixed with salt, weighed out a pound of cake shreds with a scale, poured it into a stainless steel basin, and then poured in the egg liquid for full stirring. Next, pour oil into a frying spoon and pour into the shredded cakes when the oil is hot.

Lao Zhou said, fried cake shreds have a particular, a spoonful out can not exceed a catty, the grasp of the heat is also very critical, to keep turning the spoon to stir-fry, the cake shreds in the pot are turned high by the chef, and steadily fall back into the pot, keep repeating the same action, until the cake shreds are fried until crispy and dry fragrant before out of the pot, before the pot according to the taste of different people, pour balsamic vinegar sesame oil accompanied by garlic or shredded green onions, eat soft outside and crispy inside, very chewy, and salty and fragrant, the more you chew, the more fragrant, the flavor is very authentic.

The shredded cakes wrapped in egg wash, fried in hot oil, tightly wrapped on top of the crispy shredded cakes, like little monkeys climbing poles, so they are called "monkey climbing poles". Lao Zhou is very confident in his "monkey climbing pole", he thinks that what we call home-cooked fried cakes is not called fried cakes, strictly speaking, it is called stewed cakes, and if more soup is added, it will be risotto.

The color of the monkey climbing pole cake is golden and yellow, and the entrance is soft and fragrant. There are roughly two ways to make celery: one is to first cut the baked white flour cake (no book stupid oil and salt) into thin strips, and then put an egg in the ratio of 250 grams of cake strips, beat the egg liquid evenly and mix it with the cake strips, and then pour the cake strips with the egg mixture into the oil pot, hold a pair of chopsticks in the left hand, and stir-fry together with a frying spoon in the right hand.
