Many people have learned about Changsha's cuisine through Hunan TV, especially through two programs, "Tian Tian Xiang Shang" and "Happy Camp," because sometimes they show food in Hunan, especially Changsha's local cuisine. When talking about Changsha's kitchen, many people would say stinky tofu.
This is really very famous, their advertising slogan is: Hunan Changsha Stinky Tofu, Chairman Mao said it is delicious stinky tofu, come and taste it! This is something I often hear on my way home from work, so I've memorized it now. Stinky tofu, smell stinky, eat up, but now the stinky tofu seems to have smelled nothing stinky, just look at the black, feel unclean, but the flavor that is a great, crispy outside and tender inside, with the store's secret soup, very all delicious.
Flavor shrimp colorful, soup, thick, heavy taste, spicy, by the taste of Changsha people quite heavy favorite . Previously taste shrimp are night snack time to eat, now is what time period have to eat, very fresh and spicy, taste shrimp a lot of places have, as long as there is a lobster place, will be made, and are very delicious, I like to stir-fry at home, and then add the wine lees into it, very fresh and fragrant, and the lobster's meat is very tender, it is really unbeatable!
I think it is a special dish in Changsha. It's not chopped pepper fish head, but small fried chicken mash. Nowadays, stir-fried chicken mash is also found in many places, and also usually found in Hunan cuisine restaurants, Hunan people especially like to eat. It is said that in ancient times Hunan people are poor, poor to all kinds of food will find a way to make it into a delicious, so Hunan people killed chickens and ducks at home, in addition to chicken feathers, other things such as guts, chicken blood, etc. and fried with chili peppers, the chili peppers a stir-fry, but also very tasty. So slowly, fried chicken has become a small dish of Hunan authenticity. Although generally not on the stage, but definitely the people at home or in a small restaurant a must point of home cooking, and recommended index, recommended times are also the most. I think it's probably because there are more very good snacks in Changsha than stinky tofu. It's just that stinky tofu has a bigger name.
