　　The method for making Yiqian Fan (oatmeal-like seed meal) is actually quite simple. It mainly involves oat-like seeds and cornmeal. You mix them well and then steam them on a sieve-like tray. However, you do need to control the heat just right—otherwise, it either turns out too dry or too sticky. Fortunately, Grandma always managed to get the timing just perfect. Once it was steamed, we’d each get a big bowlful, topped with an essential condiment—garlic sauce—and then we’d dig in and enjoy the deliciousness, eating with gusto. No exaggeration.
