Second, the basic explanation

Steamed bread, also known as steamed bread, is a kind of food fermented with flour (or mixed with stuffing) and one of the traditional Chinese Han pasta. Simple to make, soft and delicious, usually hemispherical and rectangular, with sizes ranging from 4 cm in diameter to 15 cm.

Its preparation method is: knead flour, yeast and water into smooth dough, ferment to twice the size, divide into small doses, steam in cold water, add air (that is, boiled water) and steam for 20 minutes. Adding baking soda to steamed bread can make steamed bread taste softer. Steamed bread is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang, prime minister of Shu and Han dynasties.

Third, the basic content

It is said that it was invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells the story of Zhuge Liang's capture of Meng Huo in the seventh place. After the barbarians were pacified, the crossing of the river was blocked by the dead ghosts. Zhuge Liang was worried about this scene and thought about it, so he had to pay homage to the river god, pray for God's blessing, punish evil and promote good, and bless all beings. Zhuge Liang could not bear to sacrifice his head and invented steamed bread as a substitute. So he ordered the sheep and pigs to be slaughtered, wrapped into dough and thrown into the water as sacrifices. Later, people learned this custom. This is probably the origin of "steamed bread".
