My hometown is Datong, Shanxi. There are many specialties there, among which barbecue is also very popular.
The first thing I want to introduce is the kebab.
In Datong, mutton is the protagonist of barbecue.
Kebabs are a very unique delicacy. The lamb is usually chopped into small pieces and then grilled with green peppers, onions and other vegetables.
The roasted lamb is tender and melts in your mouth, and the refreshing taste of the vegetables makes you have endless aftertaste.
Next is grilled chicken wings.
Grilled chicken wings are also very popular among Datong people because of their unique taste and seasoning.
Before grilling, the chicken wings need to be marinated in special seasonings and then grilled.
The grilled chicken wings are delicious, the meat is fresh and tender, and they are very enjoyable to eat.
In addition to the above-mentioned special barbecues, Datong also has grilled sweet potatoes, grilled corn, grilled tofu and other delicacies.
Roasted sweet potatoes are also a very popular delicacy in Datong. After the white potato base is roasted, it is soft inside and slightly browned on the outside. It tastes very delicious.
Roasted corn is made by roasting fresh corn with its skin. After roasting, the sweetness of the corn is more intense, and the juice of the corn kernels can also be effectively retained, making it very refreshing to eat.
Grilled tofu is made by grilling tofu cubes. It is golden and crispy on the outside and tender and smooth on the inside. It tastes extremely delicious.
In short, Datong’s barbecue culture is very unique, with a wide variety of delicacies, making it an unforgettable food place.
