Noodles Noodles are the most famous and popular breakfast in Zhangzhou. It seems simple, but in fact, it takes a lot of effort in the details.

The biggest difference between Zhangzhou noodles and other areas is that its noodles are coarse with alkali, and the noodles in southern Fujian are basically alkaline. Bread made of alkaline water is fresh and elastic, slightly astringent, not suitable for drinking water, and has a special taste.

The soup base of Zhangzhou noodles is generally air-dried squid and pork bones, with starch, eggs, mushrooms, shrimp skin and pork belly. Some shops also use chicken soup base and pepper pork belly soup base.

Most noodle shops have their own peanut butter formula (the amount of water and oil, other spices, etc. ), and the bottom material is still alkaline. Similarly, diners can add various braised accessories according to their own preferences. Because of peanut butter, dry mixed noodles are full, and often a bowl of vegetables can't be moved.

In addition, when eating dry mixed noodles, a bowl of soup will be served. The soup base is usually bone soup, with a little dried bean curd, meatballs, bamboo shoots and duck blood.

It is not difficult to iron this. The heat is very important, which determines the spicy taste.

Hand-grabbed noodles can be said to be the most primitive alkaline noodles. It is named after alkaline noodles and pickled radish acid wrapped in dried tofu and spiced rolls.

However, after development, it has become a special dish that can appear in formal occasions, and the eating method is no longer limited to hand grasping. Restaurants tend to cut bread into small portions for chopsticks to take.

Hand-grabbed noodles can be served with mustard, garlic sauce, sand tea sauce, peanut butter and sweet and spicy sauce.

10. Jizaitai

Chicken is as normal for Zhangzhou people as duck gizzards are for the whole country, but it has been selected as the strangest food list in the world.

The chicken was fertilized successfully, but failed to hatch chicken eggs, which are commonly known as hairy eggs in some places. The embryo in the egg has developed, and you can see the embryonic form, fluff and even bones of the chicken by peeling off the eggshell. In order to choose live chickens that hatch naturally, the stillbirth must be discarded.

Zhangzhou has the habit of eating chicken to nourish the body every year after the cool autumn, and it is common for children to eat chicken. Fresh chickens have a high content of protein and some ingredients similar to human placenta, which can really play a nourishing role. Just heat it a little with hot water and you can eat it.
