Today, I would like to take this opportunity to evaluate the eight snacks in Fujian from my point of view and give a ranking, hoping to help those who travel to Fujian. The eight snacks in Fujian are Satie noodles, seven-star fish balls, fried oysters, ginger duck, batter, meat swallow, Quanzhou roasted meat jiaozi and frozen bamboo shoots. I tried all these eight characteristics when I visited Fujian. I wonder if they are all authentic and famous snacks in Fujian. It's just that I made a list of eight famous snacks in Fujian in the raiders before I went to Fujian.
Let me first talk about the feelings of these eight snacks from three aspects: color, fragrance and taste, and finally give a recommendation ranking.
Satay noodles, which I have eaten in Xiamen, are recommended as a must-eat food in Xiamen. In fact, Satay noodles are not unique to Xiamen. This kind of food is found in southern Fujian, and Xiamen is unique. It's uncomfortable for me to eat for the first time. For northerners, eating for the first time should be rejected. As a characteristic of southern Fujian, the locals really can't put it down, but it's not easy for outsiders, especially northerners, to accept it for the first time. This kind of snack can be found in the streets of Xiamen. This snack looks delicious and smells delicious, but the taste really makes northerners uncomfortable. However, if a place has a local flavor, living in Xiamen for a long time should be acceptable.
For the city of Xiamen, what needs to be added is that it is really good. When traveling in Fujian, this place must not be missed. In fact, many delicious snacks in Fujian can be eaten in Xiamen. Xiamen is a gourmet city and a beautiful city.
Fish balls in Fuzhou are the characteristics of Fuzhou. The most famous fish balls are Qixing. Fuzhou has many old shops selling fish balls and is also a scenic spot. This is also looking for old Fuzhou. In fact, the legend of seven-star fish balls is a source of Fuzhou fish balls. There is a story in the middle, so I won't say much here. I can write an article about it in the future. Let's talk about the making and taste of this fish ball first.
The common practice of fish balls is to paste the fish, then make the skin of the balls, fill them with meat, and then form fish balls. Qixing fish balls are white in color, elastic but not greasy in taste, fragrant and loose in filling, sweet and smooth in taste, and friendly to northerners. I still remember Fuzhou fish balls deeply. I looked for fish balls at the airport to transfer in Fuzhou, but I didn't find them.
Fried oysters are also one of the eight snacks in Fujian, which should be eaten by many tourists when they travel in Fujian. In contrast, fried oysters are more popular than the two snacks I mentioned above, which means that they have deeper feelings for the local people. Many Fujian people are very happy to go abroad and can eat fried oysters once.
"Fried oysters in Fujian are not good at making Fujian local flavors in other places." That's what my friend said at the time. Fried oysters have a long history in Fujian, and are usually cooked with the freshest oysters in the area. For this kind of food, I believe many foodies will be very greedy.
Ginger Duck, which I remember deeply in local snacks, Fujian Province, is more like a hard dish than a snack. I remember the taste very clearly. It was delicious. Ginger duck originated in Quanzhou. I have also eaten the ginger duck in Quanzhou, but it is said that the ginger duck in Xiamen is better. The color of this special snack is also very good, and the feeling of eating it in your mouth is that the duck meat is the ultimate and the taste is just right.
In Quanzhou, you must also eat meat buns, which is also a feature of Quanzhou and one of the eight snacks in Fujian. In fact, we have all eaten traditional zongzi. North and South are really different. I used to eat sweet zongzi with vegetarian stuffing in the north. When I first ate meat zongzi in Quanzhou, I was still a little uncomfortable, but all the diners present enjoyed it.
There is also a snack in Fuzhou called Yan Rou, which looks a bit like the wonton we often eat, but as a feature of Fujian, this Yan Rou has its own characteristics. In Fuzhou, there is a saying that explains the position of meat swallow in the eyes of local people: "No banquet is possible without a swallow, and no year can be achieved without a swallow". Compared with wonton, I think meat swallow is delicious several times. I can't actually see the difference between meat swallow and wonton. Later, someone told me that wonton is a stuffing wrapped in dough, while meat swallow is a stuffing wrapped in meat skin. Swallow skin is made by mashing the good pig hind leg meat into mud, mixing it with a certain proportion of potato powder, and finally rolling it into paper-thin skin, wrapping it with meat stuffing, steaming it in a pot, adding boiling soup or cooking it directly. In an instant, I was deeply impressed by this snack.
Before eating this snack, I was attracted by its appearance. It looks cute and contains seafood. The reason why it is called soil bamboo shoot jelly is because the appearance of this snack is the shape of bamboo shoots. Frozen bamboo shoots are cooked with bamboo shoots, and then the glue is produced. This guy who looks like jelly looks really delicious, but it tastes like seafood, which I can't accept. The biggest feature of this food is its rich nutrition, but after I ate it once, I never ate it again. Similarly, the locals like it very much.
The last of the eight snacks in Fujian is this kind of food that looks like Henan paste noodles. Although it doesn't look delicious, its taste is actually a surprise to me. This is Quanzhou's noodle sauce. I ate it in Quanzhou, and the price was very cheap. It tastes really good except that it is a little burnt. It is said that there are some in Xiamen, but I haven't eaten in Xiamen.
These are the feelings of the eight snacks I ate during my trip to Fujian. Finally, I named these eight snacks according to the taste I remembered. The most popular snacks are: ginger duck, seven-star fish balls, meat swallows, Quanzhou barbecued buns, noodle sauce, oysters, frozen bamboo shoots and Satay Noodles. I don't know what you think of this recommendation order. Welcome to share your opinion!
