One side of the soil and water support one side of the people, and local cuisine has its own hometown characteristics. When we came to Enping, the hometown of overseas Chinese in China, do you know any special foods worth tasting?

Someone once said that if you don't eat Enping sesame seed cake, you won't come for nothing. This sentence is a good answer to the status of baked wheat cake in Enping people's hearts.

Enping sesame seed cake has a long history and strong local characteristics, which is a distinctive part of Enping folk culture. Enping sesame seed cake, also known as Enping sesame seed cake, originated in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of 600 years. Every time before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, the streets and alleys of Enping will have a unique fragrance of baked wheat cakes, all of which are vagrants working outside the home, and come back to taste the taste of this hometown at this time.

Because of its unique cultural connotation and production technology, Enping sesame seed cake was selected into the list of intangible cultural protection in enping city.

When we stayed in the hotel on this trip to Enping, the guest room also presented a box of biscuits. Then the next day, I went to Naji ancient scenic spot to play, and came out at the entrance of the scenic spot. I just saw this "Golden Valley Sesame Cake" shop, so I took my baby in to visit and experienced the production process of sesame cakes.

The crust is the key to the production of Enping sesame seed cake. It is mainly fermented with glutinous rice flour and sugar water. Finally, according to the preferences of guests, it will be made into sesame cakes with fillings such as frozen meat, sesame seeds, bean paste and barbecued pork.

The boss showed us around the fermenter where he made glutinous rice flour with cake skin. After fermentation, glutinous rice flour will produce a unique traditional sesame cake with fermented flavor.

According to him, the fermentation time is generally about 3 days to 7 days, which will be adjusted appropriately due to climate change. It is mainly to control the hardness and acidity of the skin.

Let's make stuffing together with the work. It is to flatten the dough, fill it with stuffing, knead it into small balls and flatten it into cakes, and the process is completed.

The second step is to go to the furnace. This traditional ancient charcoal barbecue method was handed down from the Ming Dynasty. Add charcoal to the oven, put the biscuit blank in a flat-bottomed round iron basin, and then cover it. After a few minutes of barbecue, shovel out the biscuits with a big shovel.

The Enping sesame cake baked in this way is golden in color, fragrant in skin and meat, juicy inside and soft and waxy in taste, which makes people never tire of eating it.

Enping's food culture has a long history. In addition to baked wheat cakes, there are baskets and stewed geese, all of which have their own flavors.

Water spinach is a kind of wild vegetable. There are many mountains in Enping, all of which are hilly areas. These wild vegetables will live forever on hillsides, canyons, forests and shrubs.

According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Zizania latifolia has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, quenching thirst, relieving alcoholism, quitting smoking, losing weight and resisting fatigue.

In terms of eating method, the most traditional and common practice of Enping people is to make crucian carp soup, which combines the sweetness of crucian carp and the sweetness of green vegetables. The soup is sweet and cool, with a faint fragrance and a slight bitterness. Fish is delicious.

Enpinghong roasted goose

Enping people like to eat geese very much. Whenever relatives and friends visit on holidays, they will kill the goose and stew it. The red roast goose in many restaurants in Enping is a specialty. Braised goose is rich in flavor and smooth in taste, which is necessary for travel.

I don't like other Enping specialties, such as stewed farm chicken with mountain pit snails. Chicken is rich in flavor, and mountain pit snails are delicious.
