　　During the corn harvest season, young corn is shucked, boiled, and dried,

　　then ground into powder.

　　Scoop two bowls of cornmeal into a winnowing basket, sprinkle water, and mix evenly, with the water standard being: when you grab a handful of the cornmeal, squeeze it, and then release—it should fall apart.

　　Steam it in a pot to let it breathe. Scoop it back into the winnowing basket, sprinkle water, mix evenly again, with the water standard being: when you grab a handful of the cornmeal, squeeze it, and it forms a lump. But let it cool naturally in the basket for ten minutes to allow the cornmeal to fully absorb the water and let some of the steam evaporate. Then steam it in the pot again, and it’s ready to use.

　　Features: A fresh, fragrant aroma greets you, making you want to take one bite after another until you can’t stand up from eating so much.
