1. Sheep double intestines, one of the Yuyan feasts, is made from the large and small intestines of sheep. According to "Old Kaifeng", most of the people selling sheep double intestines did not have fixed stalls in the past. Instead, they carried a cart and hawked along the streets. In front of the load was a small stove burning with chopped firewood, and on top of the stove was a small deep pot for making soup. At the back of the load were the prepared soup, intestines, and bowls and chopsticks. After liberation, people selling sheep intestines had fixed stalls.

2. Braised fish is made from selected grass carp and small crucian carp from the Yellow River as the main ingredients. After deep-frying, it is mixed with aniseed and stewed in stewed soup. Only after you taste it will you know that the Kaifeng snack braised fish is extraordinary. Old Kaifeng people all know that the most important cooking technique of braised fish is to first batter these small crucian carps with flour, then fry them until golden brown, and then cook them. The key is that this pot of old soup can reflect the flavor of the braised fish. Distinctive characteristics and quality, plenty of fish and delicious soup.

3. Pan-fried steamed buns are a famous snack in Kaifeng and are sold in many places. Pan-fried steamed buns require careful selection of ingredients and strict requirements. The noodles need good noodles and the meat needs good meat. Only white scallions are used to peel the ginger and scallions. For the aniseed noodles, we also buy peppercorns and aniseed and grind them ourselves. In terms of operation, we insist on chopping the stuffing by hand instead of using a reamer. After the steamed buns are put out of the pot, a layer of thin flour water should be poured on them (hence the name fried steamed buns), and the stuffing should be mixed with finely ground sesame oil. When the steamed buns are taken out of the pot, they will smell fragrant from afar.

4. Kaifeng Xiaolong Soup Dumplings has a history of hundreds of years, and its founder is Huang Jishan. The current state-owned bun shop on the first floor operates a famous flavored pastry. Its predecessor was the "First Floor Steamed Bun Restaurant", specializing in soup-filled steamed buns and braised noodles. The buns have clear fillings, white color and soft tendons, and the soup is oily and delicious. The braised noodles are smooth and fragrant, the braised noodles are thick but not greasy, and stick to the noodles without coming off or runny, so they are highly praised by diners.

Extended information:

The snacks in Kaifeng are mostly concentrated in the night market. Although it is said to be a night market, it actually starts around 5 pm. There are Gulou Night Market and Xueyuanmen Night Market in the city center, Wuyi Night Market and Xisi Night Market in the west, Big and Small Nanmen Night Market in the south, Beimen Night Market in the north, and other places such as Songmen and Songdu Royal Street. There are night markets.

In the past, Kaifeng snack bars were criticized for their worrying sanitary conditions and poor dining environment. The Kaifeng Municipal Government has used "Internet +" to create a "transparent kitchen". The small restaurants that used to roam the streets have a fixed place. The snack bar that has been passed down for many times has changed its appearance: the front hall is cleaner, the back kitchen is more sanitary, and a whole new scene revolves around the small restaurant. The "kitchen revolution" of catering renovation is quietly unfolding.
