First of all, I have to mention the whitebait, white shrimp and white fish in the "three whites" of Taihu Lake. The whitebait in Taihu Lake is more than two inches long, slightly round, shaped like a Hosta, seemingly boneless and intestinal, delicate and transparent, and silvery white in color, so it is called whitebait. Whitebait is tender and nutritious, without scales, thorns and fishy smell, and can be used to cook all kinds of delicious food. White fish, also known as "shad", is slender, flat on the side, silvery, tender in meat and rich in fat under the scale, and looks like shad. White shrimp has a high rate of peeling and meat production, and can also be processed into dried shrimp. After peeling, it is "opening the lake".
Shrimp can also be used as medicine. It can support acne, promote lactation and strengthen intestines. It is a drug for strengthening essence and filling essence, and it has the effect of detoxifying Tori when taken orally. Then there are Wuxi ribs and oil gluten in the four traditional characteristics. Wuxi ribs sauce is red, crisp and fragrant, moderately sweet and salty, and not fat. Oil gluten has golden color, smooth surface and crisp taste.
In addition to traditional specialties, Wuxi's traditional famous steamed buns, three fresh wonton, square cake, radish cake, wine-brewed cotton balls and so on are full of praise! Wuxi steamed bread is the traditional name of Wuxi. Select superior flour and superior materials and steam them in a small cage. Boiled crab yellow oil is the famous "crab powder cage".
Sanxian wonton originated from the folk in Dongting Township, Wuxi County, and later developed into a traditional famous spot in Wuxi. Wonton is made of fresh meat, Kaiyang and mustard tuber, so it is called "three fresh". Mix and knead the best white glutinous rice flour with hot water, cut it into cubes, and sieve it into small balls with a flat screen.
In addition, mash the wine and sugar into a bowl, and put the cooked jiaozi and soup into a bowl. Magnolia cake is named because it is in the flowering season of magnolia. This kind of cake is made by mixing glutinous rice flour into small pieces with boiling water, making into cake embryo, wrapping it with stuffing such as vegetable lard, red bean paste, fresh meat, rose and sesame, and frying it in a flat pan.
After talking about specialties and snacks, let's have another staple food-Jiangyin swordfish noodles! Jiangyin swordfish noodles are white and delicate, and will not rot if cooked for a long time. They are both chewy and delicious. If it is served with shredded ham, shredded egg skin and sprinkled with minced garlic, the richness and health of the ingredients are comparable to Niuduo beef noodles!
