I'm from Fujian, a southerner to the core. I was a little excited to see this topic, and finally had the opportunity to introduce the delicious food in my hometown. After so many years in the north, this northerner loves jiaozi most in the Spring Festival, and suddenly he feels a little monotonous. Of course, there are local customs everywhere, so I'll introduce them today. It is estimated that many people have never seen the delicious food that our hometown will cook during the New Year. Today, I mainly introduce two kinds of delicious food that southerners will cook in the New Year. One is the red ball rice cake in Puxian area; The second kind is oyster cakes in Quanzhou Quangang area.

Red ball is actually a kind of rice cake, but its name is particularly nice. Red ball means red fire and circle. The Chinese New Year is coming, and everyone is very happy. Then the whole family gets together and is round and round. As we all know, there are many folk customs in Fujian, and every household has various sacrificial ceremonies for the New Year. Red balls are essential food on the sacrificial table. The method of red ball is the method of skin and stuffing. Red rice noodles are generally made of glutinous rice flour and japonica rice flour according to the ratio of 1: 1, and a little red food pigment is added. Red balls have a variety of fillings. The most traditional stuffing is glutinous rice stuffing, followed by bean paste stuffing, mung bean stuffing, five treasures stuffing and so on. Red balls are sweet, which means the whole family is sweet.

The second kind of food is the delicacy of Quangang, Quanzhou, Fujian: oyster cakes. Anyone who has been to Xiamen knows that there is a snack called fried oysters in Xiamen. However, this is not only a special food in Xiamen, but also a special food in Xiamen, Zhang Quan, Fujian. Because there are so many oysters along the coast of Fujian, people invented all kinds of snacks. Compared with fried oysters, oyster cakes are more fragrant. Because oyster cakes are fried. Oyster cakes are mostly made by grinding rice and soybeans into pulp as the main raw materials, and then adding carrots, pumpkins, meat, oysters and so on. And then fry them. Fried oyster cakes are crisp and delicious, round or pentagonal, with crisp shells and fresh fillings. You can eat it directly with vinegar or with other porridge. Take a bite and it will be memorable.

There are many new year foods with Minnan characteristics, such as Minnan meat dumplings, spiced rolls, Chongwu fish rolls and so on. I hope to have the opportunity to walk more, see different customs, and often go to different places to eat different snacks.
