What are the special snacks in Fuding?
1. Fish balls, a famous flavor snack in Fuzhou. Generally, eel, mackerel and other fish are mashed into paste, mixed with high-quality potato flour as skin, sandwiched with lean meat and shrimp, and kneaded into balls. After cooking, soak in delicious soup, add chopped green onion and float on the noodle soup, which is called "Seven Star Fish Pill". It is famous for its white color, elastic quality, loose meat stuffing and refreshing taste. In addition to store sales, street vendors beat small bowls with spoons to attract customers. As a local specialty, foreigners often like to taste fish balls when they come to Rong. 2. The skin of Taipingyan is made of lean pig's hind legs. The tendons and periosteum are removed, cut into thin strips, pounded into paste with a wooden pestle, slowly added with potato powder sieved by fine holes and appropriate amount of water, repeatedly stirred and pressed evenly to form a hard blank, and then placed on the slats and rolled into thin sheets. Spread a thin layer of potato flour, fold it up and dry it a little to make fresh swallow skin. Continue to dry the dried swallows' skins, which will not be bad after a long-term storage for one year. Before filling, cut the swallow skin into two-inch squares with a knife. The stuffing is selected from lean pork, dried shrimps, water chestnut, laver, etc. Chop into sauce and season with a little soy sauce and onion. The square swallow skin piece is wrapped into a small flat, the surface is pomegranate-shaped, and the meat swallow is obtained after steaming. Fuzhou people often mix "flat-fleshed swallow" with shelled duck eggs as a dish. Because "egg" is called "egg" in Fuzhou dialect, "duck egg" sounds like "suppression of chaos", and "suppression of chaos" means peace, so it is called "Taiping Yan", which is homophonic with "banquet" and is also called "Taiping banquet" "Taiping Banquet" is the "big dish" at the wedding banquet in Fuzhou. When attending a banquet, firecrackers are set off, and guests can eat only after the bride and groom or their elders improvise their thanks. Flat-fleshed swallows are deeply loved by compatriots in Taiwan Province and overseas Chinese in Fuzhou. When you come to Fuzhou, you will bring back swallows as gifts for your relatives and friends. 3. The pot side paste is called "pot side paste" or "pot side paste". It is a unique snack in Fuzhou. Almost all the pot-side paste shops in Shanghai, Taiwan Province and Hongkong are run by Fuzhou people. The main ingredient is rice slurry. After the pot soup is boiled, pour the rice slurry on the side of the pot, dry it slightly, scrape it into the pot with a spatula, and synthesize it with the soup boiled with chicken and duck liver offal, shrimp, dried cuttlefish, mushrooms, day lily and other ingredients. It is characterized by thin and curly noodles, clear soup without paste and delicious taste. In the old days, people in Nantai and Xiadu areas of Fuzhou "welcomed the king" in March, and every household made pot paste. Pot-side paste is still the favorite breakfast for Fuzhou people. Because the pot is easy to cook, there is a saying in Fuzhou that the pot is cooked as soon as it is cooked. Pot stickers have also spread to areas outside Fuzhou, such as Putian. 4. Taro paste is made by cooking and mashing areca taro, and adding red dates, cherries, melon seeds, wax gourd sugar, white sugar, sweet-scented osmanthus and cooked lard. The top grades of taro paste are called "Taiji taro paste" and "Babao taro paste". Because lard is wrapped, it looks like cold food after cooking, but it is actually hot food. It is often served as dessert at parties. There is a custom of making taro paste in the eastern coastal areas of Fujian. Among them, Fuzhou taro is the most famous, which is a typical dessert in Fuzhou. It is widely rumored among the people in Fuzhou that Lin Zexu, a patriotic hero in Fuzhou, once "entertained" foreigners with taro with hometown flavor in Guangzhou, making them burn their mouths and make a fool of themselves. The taro paste made of betel nut produced in Fuding, eastern Fujian, is exquisite in texture and can be called a must. 5. A light cake
