Oatmeal Rolls

Oatmeal Rolls

　　　　Oatmeal is made from processed and ground oats, and is one of the main staple crops in the Xinzhou region.

　　 　　Oatmeal is highly nutritious, containing considerable amounts of calcium, phosphorus, iron, and riboflavin. To make oatmeal rolls, the oatmeal is mixed with an equal amount of boiling or cold water. Using the palm of your hand, you press a piece onto a smooth board, then use your index finger to roll it into a tube-like shape resembling 'cat ears' — about an inch long, as thin as a leaf, and pale yellow in color. Once made, they are stood upright and arranged side by side in the steamer basket, resembling a honeycomb. When cooked, they give off an enticing aroma. Served with lamb or mushroom soup, they are mouthwatering, instantly whet the appetite, and deliver an exceptionally rich and lingering flavor.
