Sichuan cuisine is one of the eight Chinese cuisines, one of the four traditional cuisines, and the most colorful one in Chinese cuisine. When it comes to Sichuan cuisine, many people have the impression that a lot of peppers and peppers, bright red colors and spicy and delicious taste have almost become the business cards of Sichuan cuisine. There are indeed many famous spicy dishes in Sichuan cuisine, but besides those, there are many light categories in Sichuan cuisine, which few people know. Sichuan cuisine originated in Sichuan. As the capital of Sichuan, the main cuisine in Chengdu is naturally Sichuan cuisine. What addictive foods can you try when you travel to Chengdu?

Dandan Noodles

In the article introducing Chongqing, I introduced Chongqing Xiao noodles, which is a kind of noodles with Chongqing characteristics. Then Chengdu, as the capital of Sichuan, naturally has a noodle with Sichuan style, and that is Dandan Noodles. Dandan Noodles's name is very strange, in fact, because in the early years, this kind of noodles was picked by porters on their shoulders and sold in the streets.

Dandan Noodles is similar to many Sichuan dishes, with bright red color, strong spicy taste and sour and refreshing taste. Sichuan cuisine with peppers has a characteristic that it is spicy but not dry, which is related to the varieties of peppers in Sichuan. This spicy taste will not make people feel uncomfortable and get angry all over, but will make you spicy and comfortable, and have a long aftertaste. In addition to this kind of pepper, spices such as minced meat, pepper, minced garlic and sesame sauce also make Dandan Noodles's taste spicy and fragrant.

ice powder

I didn't expect that in a pile of hot and spicy Sichuan dishes, Chengdu still hides such a sweet and cold food, which can dispel fire and relieve summer heat. Ice powder is a famous snack in southwest China. It is tender, smooth, refreshing, sweet, appetizing, and cheap. It is a very popular summer dessert. After the ice powder is cooked and frozen, add brown sugar to increase the sweet taste, then add hawthorn, watermelon, pitaya and other fruits, and finally add a little mint water, it is easy to feel its sweetness and coolness.

Husband-and-wife lung slices

Husband-and-wife lung slices are the most famous food in Chengdu, and many Sichuan restaurants abroad regard them as their signature dishes, which shows their great influence. The name of the couple's lung slice is also very interesting, because a couple developed this dish, so it is named the couple's lung slice. Although there is "lung slice" in the name, there is no "lung" in the raw material of this dish today.

The main ingredients of the couple's lung slices are all kinds of beef scraps, such as beef tongue, tripe, heart and skin, and now some beef is added, which enriches the taste of this dish. The main ingredients are marinated in the pot first, and then added with pepper, pepper, sesame, peanut and celery, and stirred evenly. The taste is spicy, fresh and tender, and the price is moderate, which is very popular.

dragon wonton soup

Sichuanese call wonton soup wonton soup, and dragon wonton soup is a famous wonton snack in Chengdu, which has a long history and bears the memory of the old Chengdu people. Taking fresh pork hind legs as raw materials, chop them into minced meat, add an egg, add special seasonings, stir them vigorously, wrap them in wonton skin, and cook them in a pot. The wonton soup is thin and stuffed, smooth and appetizing, fragrant and delicious; Wonton soup is delicious in Ming Che, and its taste is not even lost to wonton.

saliva chicken

every city has its own unique way to eat chicken, and Chengdu is no exception. saliva chicken is a classic dish in the famous Bashu area. Mouth-watering chicken has a very classic Sichuan cuisine. A lot of peppers, peppers and oily soup base are spicy and delicious. Even if it is a cold dish, the taste and taste of the saliva chicken are not lost to the chicken eating methods in other regions.

because there are a lot of pepper in the dish, the feeling of tingling pepper in the mouth will make the diners drool unconsciously, so this dish is called saliva chicken. Wash the chicken, cut it into pieces, cook it in a pot or steam it, let it cool, add the flavor juice made of red oil, pepper, pepper, sugar, soy sauce, sesame seeds, balsamic vinegar and other seasonings, then sprinkle with chopped peanuts and coriander, which makes people drool.

These Chengdu cuisines have the classic Sichuan cuisine style, but not all of them are spicy. The styles of dragon wonton soup and ice powder are very light. If you can't eat spicy food, try these milder cuisines. Besides these, there are many classic cuisines waiting to be discovered in Chengdu.
