To Beijing, you should not only climb the Great Wall, but also eat Beijing's delicious food. When you come to Beijing, you must try these authentic Beijing snacks!
bean juice
When it comes to Beijing snacks, people first think of bean juice. Beijingers love to drink bean juice and regard it as a kind of enjoyment. But the first time you drink bean juice, the smell like swill makes it difficult to swallow. If you hold your nose and drink it twice, you will feel different. Some people are addicted to it, looking everywhere and waiting in line to drink.
you haven't been to Beijing without drinking bean juice. Drinking bean juice is purely a patent of Beijingers. Beijing bean juice looks gray and green, and tastes smelly and sour. But once you drink it, it will have an endless sigh, just like foreigners eating stinky cheese. Those who are not used to it are hard to swallow, and even feel sick. If you don't eat it for an addictive day, you will feel that you owe something. Therefore, the reputation of the small shop "Bean Juice He" in Dong 'an Market was no less than that of Donglaishun, the big restaurant next door. There are many people who come to drink a bowl of bean juice for five cents in luxury and private cars.

Braised fire
Braised fire is a unique snack in Beijing, which originated from Nanheng Street in the south of the city. According to legend, ordinary people couldn't afford meat in the past, so they used animals to go into the water instead. Braised fire is a pure thing in old Beijing, born and bred, and purer than Beijing opera. When it comes to cooking and burning, old Beijing will definitely think of "small intestine Chen", but I don't know that this delicious food, which has a history of more than 1 years and is thought to be eaten only by the poor, originated from the court.
Braised pork is a well-known food and a traditional snack in Beijing. It is estimated that there are not many authentic Beijingers who don't like to cook and burn. Burn a well-shaped knife, cut tofu into triangles, chop small pieces of small intestine and lung head, scoop a spoonful of old soup from the pot and pour it into the bowl, and then add some garlic paste, Chili oil, bean curd and chives. When a hot bowl is served, the fire, tofu and lung head absorb enough soup, and the fire is thorough but not sticky, and the meat is rotten but not bad. Occasionally, a piece of white meat is full of fat.
