Taking a look at this food map, our Tianjin food is really on the list! Tianjin twist and Duliu old vinegar, that reputation is also loud and clear, of course, we Tianjin is not the only two, the following I introduce you to the most representative of our Tianjin Wei cuisine.
First of all, it is our Tianjin this time on the list of twists and vinegar.
1, eighteen street twists
Gui Fa Xiang's eighteen street twists is a traditional dish, is a hundred years old twists store in Tianjin, with the dog indifferent buns, ear eye fried cake and known as the "Tianjin three best". The big twist is as thick as your arm, except for tourists, generally not many people buy, we Tianjin people like to buy small, deep-fried more crispy, eat up no burden. There are hawthorn, black sesame, salt and other more than ten flavors, each of which is very distinctive, personally, I like salt and pepper the most, the twists eat up a sesame aroma, crispy and delicious.
When I was a child, I only thought that the 18th Street twist was crispy and crunchy, but I could only eat it on important days. In the New Year's festivals, parents will be entrusted to buy some, the types of twist is very small in those days, unlike now there are so many kinds of flavors, but it is that the original assorted twist, but also to countless children's childhood with a slight crunchy sweet.
2, Duliu Old Vinegar
Duliu Old Vinegar is one of the three traditional vinegars in China, along with Shanxi vinegar and Zhenjiang rice vinegar, which has a history of more than 300 years, and it was the imperial tribute of the court in the Qing Dynasty. This vinegar is what I ate and arrived from my childhood, a little more sour than balsamic vinegar, a little lighter than aged vinegar, with a little bit of grain sweetness, very faint but very palatable, dipping dumplings to make Lapa vinegar is the most common way to eat.
I remember when I was a child, every year on the day of Lahai, my mother peeled and washed the pre-prepared purple-skinned garlic and put it into a large-mouthed altar, and then I put the Duliu vinegar into it to tighten the lid, and put it into a place that was not too cold. When you open the jar on New Year's Eve, the garlic turns turquoise and the vinegar smells of garlic, which is cold, refreshing and refreshing, and is a perfect match for dumplings, which can be eaten until the first month of the lunar year.
After finishing the list of food, let's take a look at Tianjin's other food, with the above two than not inferior, is to eat fresh, hot, not suitable for mailing, so the field is not very easy to eat the authentic.
3, pancake fruit
Pancake fruit should be quite famous, after all, on the "tongue on the Chinese", also counted in front of the people of the country showed a face. Pancake fruit is an essential part of the Tianjin people's breakfast, pancake fruit face is a real mung bean flour, there is a fragrance, green onions, pasta sauce and chili are selected are good raw materials, the fruit grate is very crispy, was folded into a triple fold, rolled in the inside of the crust, spread out the hot, eat in the mouth, it is really called a fragrant ah!
I remember when I was a kid, I wanted to eat pancakes and fruit on the lookout for my mom to ask for an egg, the neighborhood entrance to the pancake stalls, the egg to the pancake stalls aunt, and then go with my father to buy soybean milk, skipped a circle back to the pancakes on the stall. Sometimes come back late, aunt afraid of pancake cold not good, will also special griddle warm, see us back to load the pocket, now think about, this pancake is all the human feelings ah!
4, ear-eye fried cake
Tianjin people love to eat fried cake, it does not matter if it is not ear-eye fried cake, fried on the line. When I was a kid, I would buy the ear-eye fried cake in front of my house to eat, and when I grew up, I didn't eat it, mainly because it was sold for less.
This year's Spring Festival to go to the ancient cultural street, saw the ear-eye fried cake in front of the door lined up a long queue, some people buy finished standing in front of the door on the gnawing, greedy me also follow the trend of queuing up to go. Fried cake to hand immediately rotated a, this thing must be while hot to eat, really is the outside of the burnt inside tender! And the bean paste is not that kind of snoozy! Inside the crispy shell is a soft sticky glutinous rice noodles, QQ popping also can pull silk, do not mention how addictive.
5, the pot of vegetables
This is only a Tianjin only a breakfast, the field really can not eat, we Tianjin people called "Gaba vegetables". Mung beans and millet mixed into a paste, spread into pancakes, cut into willow leaf shape, add marinade, sesame sauce, curd milk juice, chili, cilantro on the finished. The flavor is salty with freshness. The dried mung bean pancakes are softened and soaked up the broth for a smooth texture, and the flavor of the sesame sauce and curd is strong, making them especially addictive to eat.
When I was a kid, I used to go to Wuda Dao, and at that time, Chen Ji's pots and pans were really good, especially his hot pepper, and Dai Da Dafa Gaba in Dawangzhuang, and now Dai Da Gaba is long gone, and Chen Ji has turned into a Netflix store, and the taste is not the same as it used to be, but the one at my doorstep is still good, and that's good enough for me.
In addition to the above mentioned a few, we are particularly famous in Tianjin, there is the dog不理包子, but that thing is now basically no local people to eat, not to mention!
