Sugar-fried chestnuts are famous traditional snacks with local flavor in Beijing and Tianjin, and they are also delicious with a long tradition. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You wrote such a touching story in Notes of the Old Learning Temple. He said: "Li He, the old capital (referring to Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Kaifeng today), is famous in all directions, and others try their best to make it work, but it is out of reach."
Then he wrote: "In Shaoxing, Chen Fuguong and Qian went to the cabinet and sent an envoy to the court. When they arrived in Yanshan, suddenly two people came to change the chestnuts with ten wraps each? Praise yourself:' Li Heer also.' Go away with tears. According to this, it can be inferred that Li He, a bian city cooking expert, broke his family business when foreigners invaded him, and his son lived in Yanshan with the stunt of frying chestnuts. He expressed his longing for the reunification of the motherland with chestnuts dedicated to the messengers of the old country. ?
Chestnuts used to be dark brown, but the way people in the north eat them is different from that in the south. They stir-fry them with a huge blender and black chestnut stones, and then pour syrup into them. After the finished product, they are called "sugar-fried chestnuts."
Chestnuts are rich in nutrition and have the reputation of "king of dried fruits".
