The delicious food in Zhengzhou includes Huimian Noodles, blast furnace sesame seed cake, hot soup, fried bean jelly, mutton steamed buns and so on.
1. Huimian Noodles
Daxing, Huimian Noodles, was founded in 1981s. Thanks to the reform and opening-up, a large increase in floating population and a great increase in the demand of catering industry, Huimian Noodles, an old mutton named "Heji", took the lead, and then Sanxian Huimian Noodles, an old mutton named Xiao Ji, sprang up suddenly and developed rapidly. In the past 21 years, it has not only become the city business card of Zhengzhou's catering, but also become another one of Henan, Zhengzhou and Kaifeng with a bowl in hand.
2. Blast furnace sesame seed cake
Blast furnace sesame seed cake is also a kind of Hu cake. The so-called blast furnace was originally a hanging furnace, and there is also a chicken nest furnace, which can be sold along the street, and then it will be fixed for business, and the pot on the top of the furnace will no longer be hung. This cake is mostly made of fermented noodles, rolled into pieces, cut into flowers and spread round, and then baked with sesame seeds on one side. When it is ripe, it is crispy outside and tender inside, so it can be eaten alone. However, Henan people often regard it as rich and frugal, or eat beef and mutton, fried dough sticks or fried bean jelly, all of which are delicious. Therefore, in Kaifeng area, biscuits are often made by boxes, and people sometimes carry a few boxes of oil buns when they visit relatives.
3. Hu spicy soup
It is found all over Henan, with different ingredients and the same style. Su Hu La Tang is made by rinsing gluten into spikes after the water is opened, blending it with the flour juice washed with gluten, mastering the concentration, and then adding ingredients and seasonings. Mutton hot soup (Kaifeng area) should be treated with broth. But no matter what kind, gluten should be used well, pepper should be used well, and pepper should be used to make it spicy, otherwise it will not be Hu spicy soup, and pepper will not have the effect of warming the stomach and appetizing.
4. Stir-fried bean jelly
Stir-fried bean jelly includes mung bean jelly and sweet potato jelly. First, it should be made into powder lumps, and then cut into cubes and fried in a pan. Kaifeng fried bean jelly is required to be intact when fried and seasoned with local watermelon bean paste, so it is unique and delicious.

Mutton Kangmo is the largest stuffed food in Henan Province.
