Sweet potato cup
Sweet potato cup is one of Xiapu's special snacks. Personally, I think it's cute. Unfortunately, there are no fixed shops for this snack, and most of them are sold in small stalls or alleys in the old city. Most of the time in the afternoon, breakfast time does not appear. As the name implies, the sweet potato cup is made of sweet potatoes, steamed and pressed into mud, and eggs, starch and sesame oil are added. When setting, put it into a mold and make it into a small cup shape, then add the stuffing made of minced meat and steam it in a pot. One is two yuan, very soft and glutinous, as an afternoon snack.

When you come to Xiapu, you must not miss the paste soup package, which is paste soup+steamed stuffed bun. The paste soup is somewhat similar to the batter in southern Fujian, and the method is simple. Break the fresh rice noodles and put them into the pot. While cooking, slowly pour in the starch adjusted with water, stir clockwise with a large spoon, then add mushrooms, duck intestines, squid slices, dried fish and shrimp, and sprinkle a small handful of pickled large intestine slices when taking out of the pot. The soup cooked by these things is thick and delicious, which is a perfect match with meat buns.
Meat skin soup
The practice of pigskin soup is similar to paste soup. The general process is to add fried pig skin blood clots and bamboo shoots to the soup cooked with starch. In order to improve the taste and remove the umami flavor, hot and sour soup was added, which was very appetizing.
Fried Minnan paste
Minnan paste, which grew up in eastern Fujian, is in Sansha, Xiapu, Fujian. There is such a dish that every household can cook, only on holidays. Everyone calls it Minnan paste.
Sansha rouzong
There are still some differences between the meat dumplings in Sansha and those in southern Fujian now. Salted egg yolk is used, while fresh fennel is put in glutinous rice, which tastes delicious and the meat wrapped inside is pure lean meat.
