In the rural areas of Hunan province, every house in a corner of the house will be quietly placed several large and small pickles altar, each altar of different varieties, according to the dishes held inside, we will accordingly call them hot sauce altar, sauerkraut altar, moldy (rotten) bean curd altar ... These pickles are almost a necessity at home.

Every time before cooking, carrying an empty bowl to the altar, carefully open the lid, from which to scoop out a handful or two of edamame, to the fried food when put in the seasoning, the flavor is really fragrant and delicious.

I used to think that the best dish in the world was fried pork with black beans! The strong aroma of black beans with the freshness of pork, and then add chili pepper color, so that people's taste buds times open, can not stop, a meal even dry three bowls of rice still can not let go of chopsticks.

In addition to tempeh, sauerkraut is also my favorite, altar dip sauerkraut generally have sour beans, sour radish, these two sauerkraut do not need to accompany the meat people, put some chili alone fried on the very good. The two are cut into tiny pieces, and sometimes it's hard to get your chopsticks up, so you just use a spoon to scoop them up and eat them!

Of course, in the city restaurant popular pickled bean curd fried pork foam, is also very rice, but the flavor of its pickled bean curd always feel that there is no childhood in the farmhouse to eat authentic.

There is also a must-mention farmhouse delicacy is moldy tofu, which is called rotten tofu in our vernacular, and tofu milk in other places. Tofu milk is fermented from fresh tofu, and is usually chosen to be made after the winter solstice of the year, when the temperature drops and the tofu is less likely to go bad during fermentation. Moldy tofu can not be accompanied by other dishes fried to eat, only in the beginning of the meal with a small dish to the altar to clip a two or three pieces, and then use the tip of the chopsticks in small pieces to taste, its flavor is similar to the milk milk as rich, so that people will have a long memory.

In addition to the above pickles, the sauce of dried radish is also the supreme delicious, is first cut into strips of radish sun-dried water, and then the dried radish into the spicy sauce inside, placed for a week or so, and then take out to eat, crunch crunch crunch crunch, radish crunch mixed with the spicy sauce of the sweet and spicy, the deliciousness of the people can not resist.

The last thing I want to say is that the most famous thing in my hometown is the hot sauce, far away from the Qing Dynasty, it is the court tribute, and its reputation has spread far and wide, mentioning the "Yongfeng Hot Sauce", really no one knows no one knows.

The process of making hot sauce is a bit long, first of all, we need to choose the fresh red chili peppers with a lot of meat, wash it and dry the surface water, and then stomp it into the sauce. Accompanied by wheat flour to make it sticky, or put some peeled garlic cloves to increase the flavor, and then put into a large open sauce jar, in the hot sun under the sun for many days, in the middle of the need to keep turning to ensure that each pile of hot sauce are bathed in enough sunshine. When the hot sauce out of the oil, into a more attractive deep red, it is almost sunshine, can be put into the altar to save.

Whenever you want to eat, just clip a few chopsticks out of the jar, no matter any dish, put some hot sauce into it, immediately the color and flavor, like the hot sauce opened up the light, the delicious index immediately rose a few stars.

I've eaten a lot of hot sauces, some of which are marinated in oil, but the flavor is far less sweet than the hot sauces of my hometown.

In addition to the above mentioned pickles, hometown there are dried beans, dried vegetables, chopped peppers, squash and so on, a moment can not be said.

Now I work in a foreign country, often eat out with friends, I have eaten a lot of new dishes, but there is no one dish like the hometown pickles that I miss.

Their flavor lingers in my childhood memories and has become an inseparable part of my soul.

Now that I am working in a foreign country, I often eat out with my friends and have eaten a lot of new dishes, but there is no dish that I miss as much as my hometown pickles.

Their deliciousness lingers in my childhood memories and has become an inseparable part of my soul. One day I will make them with my own hands, so that those around me can also savor such earthly flavors.
