The Origin of Panlong Cuisine in Zhongxiang, Hubei Province

Analysis:

Zhongxiang Panlong dish is also called roll-cut Panlong dish. Red and yellow alternate, fat but not greasy, smooth and oily, with a long flavor. It is the imperial food of the Ming Dynasty, which was first created in Xingxian Palace (now Zhongxiang) in Anlufu, Huguang. Top food at the party. It is one of the famous local products in Zhongxiang area. Speaking of Panlong cuisine, there is another little-known story.

According to legend, Zhu Houzhao, the Wu Sect of Amin, died in A.D. 16, leaving no children. What about Zhu Houzong, the son of Zhu Youjue, the late King of Huguang Anlu Guoxing? Or Li Shouwang Zhu Youfang, or Ru 'an Wang Zhu Youfang? Finally, the filial piety emperor Zhang Taihou issued an imperial edict, and at the same time sent the testamentary edict of Wu Zong to Anlufu, and also sent it to Zhu Youjian, the Shouding King living in De 'an, and Zhu Youjian, the King of Ru 'an living in Weihui. Three imperial edicts were issued in unison, and the Queen Mother ordered the three to "be the monarch first, then the minister". Zhu Houzong received a testamentary edict, one happy and one sad. Sadly, my brother is driving a new crash, crying and crying; I am very happy that the testamentary edict will soon be respected and respected, and the king is in the world; Surprisingly, Anlufu is more than 3,000 miles away from the capital, and De 'an and Weihui are only a few hundred miles away from the capital, 3,000 to several hundred miles away. Why did they arrive first? Just when he was at his wit's end, Yan Song, a fortune teller, put forward a plan: "Only the Prince Prince (the honorific title of Zhu Houzong) can pretend to be a prisoner and sit firmly in the prison car, so that he can travel day and night. No one dares to stop him or answer him, but he can reach Kyoto on the 20th. I miss King Shouding and King Ru 'an, thinking that the road is near and there is no worry. Officials from all over the country are scrambling to greet each other, and the 20-mile small banquet and the 30-mile big banquet are bound to be delayed. "Being an emperor, I don't care if my face looks good or not. Suddenly, it occurred to him that he would eat the prisoner's food when he was in the prison car. Why did he swallow the prisoner's coarse grains? If you don't eat prisoners' food, if someone sees a flaw, or intentionally rapes you, or hurts you in the middle, you will not only lose your wealth, but also your life will be difficult to protect. When this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Everyone realizes that this step is very important and can't be sloppy. After deliberation, an imperial edict was issued to the chefs in the whole city, ordering them to enter the government immediately and make a dish of "eating meat but not seeing meat" overnight, and there were many prizes for it; If you can't do it, copy it with your door! More than 20 chefs in the city are convenient to get together in the second watch, and all of them gather in the kitchen hall of the side palace. Because of the life of the whole family, everyone dared not care and racked their brains. But the topic is too difficult, so I can only sigh, and I still have no idea when I see the moon setting nearly four drums.

One of the chefs, a red case manager named Jane, just got married, and suddenly he was very wronged and sad. Seeing that he had been away for a long time, his wife was afraid that he was hungry, so she took some steamed sweet potatoes to satisfy his hunger. Jane is worried that she can't cook a dish that "eats meat but can't see it", so she is in the mood to eat sweet potatoes. They broke the skin of the sweet potato in the process of export, revealing the sweet potato meat. Jane's eyes suddenly lit up and shouted, "I have an idea." All the chefs gathered around, and Jane repeated it in this way, and the chefs applauded. So they took white fat pork, lean meat and fish and chopped them into minced meat. They use salt, chives and ginger as seasonings, mix them with starch eggs and steam them in sweet potato bags. They look like sweet potatoes, but they are actually meat dishes, so Zhu Houzong ate them by eating "sweet potatoes" on the prison car and boarded the golden throne. In the second year of Jiajing, the chef Jane was ordered to go to Beijing, and then the "sweet potato" was improved to make a cylinder with a length of one and a half feet, a width of one and a half inches and a thickness of seven and a half minutes. The wrapped potato skin was also replaced by egg skin prepared from egg yolk and edible red pigment. Slice it after steaming, put it in a bowl, distill it again, and turn it upside down into a plate, red and yellow, like a dragon. After such a change, it was delicious, and Jiajing couldn't put it down. He officially named it "Panlong" Imperial Diet. This dish is often called "roll-cut" because it is rolled first and then cut. Later, people put it in the shape of a dragon on a plate, which is also called "Panlong dish".

There are many ways to eat Panlong cuisine. First, cut it into thin slices, steam it and dip it in soy sauce, vinegar and chopped green onion. First, cut it into thick slices, size it, fry it in a pot until it is golden yellow, and then dip it in soy sauce, vinegar and chopped green onion for eating; First, cut it into thin slices, put it in hot pot soup and rinse it with other dishes. In short, you can also use your imagination to create other innovative ways to eat.
