Geography good partners know that Inner Mongolia is a large autonomous region across the latitude, the vastness of the region, resulting in the local people in the culinary aspect of the **** generality. Hohhot, Inner Mongolia have what specialties it, go to Inner Mongolia should eat what? Come with the editor to see it.

Little Mai

Search for the word "little Mai" on the map of Hohhot, and it's no surprise that hundreds of results should be returned, which is the city's love for this food. Stuffed with mutton and scallions, wrapped in a crystal clear skin and shaped like a flower, the mere sight of it will whet your appetite. Dipped in some vinegar and chili according to personal preference, a mouthful of pressure, oil flow, meat filling popping, greasy and sour collision into a balance of taste, lips and teeth full of oil flavor. Don't look at this head is not too big, I am afraid that friends with small appetites can't eat one or two.

Milk tea

First of all, let's clarify one thing: no matter which pastoral area, the original flavor of the authentic milk tea must be salty, and all of the milk tea that is served up is sweet, which has been improved to meet the needs of most of the customers.

Mongolian milk tea, made from brick tea and fresh milk, is an essential drink in the daily life of the Mongolian people, and its importance can perhaps be compared to that of water. You can have a steaming pot of milk tea in a Mongolian restaurant or milk tea house in Hohhot or any city in Inner Mongolia. Lift the teapot to the bowl of a pour, milk tea out, milk and tea fragrance also rises up, just a sniff can make people relaxed. Then pick up the bowl of tea and take a sip, savory and warm in the mouth, after swallowing the body warm.

Fried rice

In Inner Mongolia, fried rice is the undisputed first partner of the milk tea, or perhaps you can call it "milk tea partner". The fried rice is fried rice, is a common grain in the northern arid region, the size of the millet close to the fried rice. Drinking milk tea, grab a handful of fried rice thrown into the bowl, soak for a while to drink a mouthful of milk tea, the prominent particles to the oral stimulation is very strong, even if soaked for many hours, fried rice can still maintain a certain degree of toughness, rather than turning into a porridge in the rice. If you want to taste the original crispiness of fried rice, you can eat it dry.

Mare's milk wine

No one has ever tasted horse's milk wine, or at least heard its name in a grassland song

. As the name suggests, it is the product of fermentation of horse's milk and tastes distinctly milky and sour with a hint of alcohol. I feel from the bottom of my heart that, like rice wine, it doesn't burn your throat and doesn't choke you, but just quietly makes you head for the hills and into no man's land, and is probably a killer at the dinner table.

Regrettably, to drink the most pure horse milk wine ultimately need to go to the herdsman's home, the horse milk wine sold on the market are the product of the assembly line, more or less added some additives, but also lost some of the original flavor.

Milk skin

Milk skin is a thin layer of skin generated by boiling milk in a pot and stirring constantly, honeycomb, can be eaten directly or put in the milk tea to eat. Directly eat can feel the soft and tough texture of milk skin, milk flavor, and with a slight sour and sweet taste. If you put it in the milk tea to eat, because of its honeycomb porous structure, can be full of milk tea, eat in the mouth like "milk gluten" in general, full of moist.

Milk chewing mouth, fruit bars

Milk chewing mouth is not cream, is a kind of fresh milk extracted from the fatty substances, compared to the common cream texture will be more viscous, tight, heavy oil flavor, and with a certain sour milk flavor. The common ways of eating milk chewing mouth are eating with fried rice and dipping with fruit strips. Fruit strips are actually a kind of deep-fried noodles in Inner Mongolia, more similar to the familiar doughnuts, but from the texture of the doughnuts called the general more fluffy, the texture of the sheepish rather than crunchy.

Raw grilled lamb chops

Besides steak, the most wild grassland meat is grilled, and a big part of that is grilled lamb chops. I can't remember how many times I've praised grilled lamb chops,

Perhaps it's the kind of food that you can't get tired of eating,

Mongolians have been known to eat a lot of lamb chops.

One of the distinctive features of Mongolian-style grilled lamb chops is that each one is connected to the other, and you need to break them apart by hand, which is still a bit of the grassland bravado. This way of eating increases the content of interaction between people and food, and sometimes it does somehow enhance the deliciousness of the food itself. Mongolian food raw roasted lamb chops to pepper and salt flavor is the main, crispy skin, lean meat tender, fat meat oil flavor, tough meat tendons, with a hand to open the bite, accidentally disappear into no man's land.

Gejil's Auntie's Milk Tea

Gejil's Auntie's Milk Tea in seven processes was selected for CCTV's "Everyday Diet" program, but what really attracted me was its seven processes.

Bubble: bubble green brick tea before the sun comes out every day;

Boiling: boil the tea leaves;

Yang: tea leaves Yang 81 times;

Clarify: clarify the tea leaves from the tea juice;

Steam: fry the millet with butter until golden;

Tui: the tea leaves fried rice ancestral recipe blended;

Here you can eat the traditional Mongolian meal of animal meat, fried rice, beef, mutton, camel meat and cow and sheep camel milk, ghee cheese, yogurt, butter, milk skin, Wuzhimo, milk tofu, brick tea milk tea and so on. My personal favorite is beef jerky, especially chewy and flavorful.

Shilamuren grassland herdsman's home

The grass is already yellow in winter, and the wind blows more and more cold. The herdsmen on the Shilamuren Grassland drive their sheep, and the yurts here don't have the heaters of the Hasselhain Sea, but they are warm because of the hospitality of the herdsmen's families.

The Mongolian people are said to be good at singing and dancing, and the gentle humming of the old amah on the table is a voice as empty as the vastness of the steppe, melodious and charming. They speak bad Mandarin, but we can see their simple and honest hearts.

The old aunt was sixty or seventy years old and did not have a single gray hair on her head. She said she was too shy to smile widely because it didn't look good without teeth. But when she was entertaining us, she smiled the most genuine smile that I fixed in my camera. I don't know what I'll be like when I'm old, but I want to live a life as optimistic, cheerful, simple and happy as hers.

Hasu Hai blackmail horse feast

If I didn't go to Hasu Hai, the yurt is still just the impression of Inner Mongolia left in my mind, I feel that this trip is full of inauthenticity. I never thought I'd be here, not only to see the yurts with my own eyes, but also to have the opportunity to live in them.

Such a luxurious yurt is completely beyond my imagination. Maybe that's the beauty of traveling, getting out and discovering the real world. I love the winter with the heater, and I love the bathtub with floor-to-ceiling windows for sunbathing.

Fraudulent Horse Feast

However, the real highlight here is the fraudulent horse feast. The Mongolian word for "swindler" means a whole animal with its hair removed, which means that cattle and sheep are slaughtered, then their hair is removed with hot water, their insides are removed, and they are roasted or boiled for the feast. Swindle horse feast is Mongolia's unique celebration feast whole cow or sheep. See the roasted whole sheep, it is a must.

The "Fraudulent Horse Feast" began in the Yuan Dynasty. This ancient folk custom of sharing a whole cow and sheep was developed into a lavish court banquet by the Holy Lord Nuoyan. Lost for a time, it is now the people through the "Mongolian Cookbook", "Mongolian Customs Record" and a lot of other information, and experiments, to restore the roasted whole cow and fraudulent horse feast.

Huhehaote Maixiang Village

Maixiang Village's a little wheat is known far and wide, a little wheat two words originally written "a little beauty" is written along the Ming Dynasty. Now it is also called siu mai, siu mai. The reason why I came to eat a little beauty, because it and Inner Mongolia's traditional dishes steamed mutton, grilled meat strips and barbecue is Maixiang village in the development process of nearly eighty years, from tens of thousands of dishes in the selection of the preserved, can be described as a dish in the fine arts.

When the hot slightly beauty and milk tea set the table, we only marveled. It is said that only love and food can't live up to. With such a bounty early in the morning, it really felt like happiness.
