Spicy chicken: Spicy chicken is one of the three famous foods in Zaozhuang. You must have eaten authentic spicy chicken once in Zaozhuang before you can be considered to have been to Zaozhuang. Zaozhuang's spicy chicken is also famous locally and even in Shandong. Going to various banquets and even entertaining relatives and friends is inseparable from spicy chicken.
The only vegetarian dish in Zaozhuang is vegetable pancakes in Zaozhuang. In the south, most people are not used to eating pancakes. Because of hard work, we don't like to eat hard work, but while nourishing the soil, we also have a plot for pancakes. Veteran Pu Songling loved pancakes all his life and wrote a pancake fu.
Vegetable pancake is a unique snack with pancake as its theme, which originated from Zaozhuang people. Mix many vegetables and tofu evenly, put them in pancakes and spread them on both sides. I even suspect that foreigners' pizzas are all copied from us. Of course, I'm kidding.
Because the shape is too similar, the pancakes spread out are all brown. Take a bite. Vegetables and pancakes are crispy outside and tender inside. Through the seeds, the taste of pancakes penetrates into the vegetables, and the taste of vegetables is dissolved in the pancakes. No cooking skill in the world can achieve such a perfect integration. Conservatively speaking, Zaozhuang came for nothing without pancakes.
If I had to recommend it, of course I would recommend my own Lanling chicken pancakes. All the pancakes are spread out one by one. It's no use. They are wholesale in the market, and our miscellaneous grains account for 70%. It's definitely not the kind of market that says you only add 10% corn and wheat bran, and the rest is white flour, that's cheating consumers.
The four famous foods in Zaozhuang, spicy chicken, mutton soup, vegetable pancakes, handmade noodles and dishes in southwest Shandong, are unique in the whole country. Once there was a census, Zaozhuang ranked first in table food consumption in Shandong Province. Come to Zaozhuang if you want to eat. So poor that there is only food left.
