Tujia oil tea soup
On the first night in Enshi, Ma Qiting tasted Tujia essential oil tea soup. According to the waiter, drinking oil tea soup is the traditional etiquette of Tujia hospitality. Unfortunately, Tujia people have become very China. It is not easy to experience this traditional custom. Fortunately, many restaurants have kept this delicious food.
The so-called oil tea soup is to boil tea leaves, ginger and pepper with water, and then pour the soup into a bowl filled with fried soybeans, tofu, nuts and peanuts, which can be used. Camellia oleifera soup tastes crisp and smooth, and its first taste is very distinctive.
slag
When I first saw this kind of delicious food, I felt a little ugly and people had no appetite, but this feeling will soon fade away. Because the smell of dregs is tangy, I taste a bit like bean curd dregs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Enshi slag will also add local bacon, which will taste more fragrant, especially when eating.
It is said that Enshi people will not refuse to mix slag. Why do you say that? It is said that when there was a shortage of food, many people were saved because of the convenient slagging and simple materials. Therefore, there is a saying in the local area that "Chili is salt and dregs are new year's goods".
Bacon Baba
It can be said that Enshi people also like Baba very much. In spring, mugwort is refreshing, glutinous rice is sweet but not greasy, and sweet glutinous mouse Baba is tasted by local people all year round.
However, the most common food for tourists is fried Baba with bacon, which is also a must-have dish for almost every Enshi restaurant. The ingredients of bacon Baba are very simple, including local bacon, green pepper and so on. Although the ingredients are simple, the taste is unique. Smoked bacon crispy glutinous rice. You will remember it when you swallow it.
Tujia sesame seed cake
When you arrive in Enshi, if you want to taste the staple food, you must not miss Tujia sesame seed cake. Homemade sesame seed cake is also called slag-dropping sesame seed cake, which is crisp as the name suggests.
Cookies at home are all baked. After baking, the outer layer is crisp, and you can imagine its crispness with a bite. On the surface, its ingredients are mainly flour, onions, peppers and so on. Personally, when I like to eat, I will add a piece of braised pork to the sesame seed cake. Crispy outside and tender inside are delicious.
Zhaguangjiao
When this dish was served, I thought it was oil residue. The waiter told me that this is called squeezed Chili locally, and the main ingredients are bright red Chili sauce and corn flour. The locals have the habit of "not eating hot and sour for three days, feeling like a cat scratching". Therefore, squeezed peppers are very popular in Enshi, and they are usually fried with bacon, which is a good meal.
