The top ten foods on the rooftop are as follows:
1. Dumpling cones
In many places in Zhejiang, there are ways to eat ingredients wrapped in dough, with different names and different tastes. There are as many as a dozen kinds of stuffing in the dumpling tubes on the rooftop, generally using sliced meat, shredded vegetables, shredded taro, tofu, bean noodles, vegetables and so on. The most exquisite fillings are meatball cake, egg cake, pork liver, sliced meat and mixed meat, wrapped in snow-white skin, which is called "five tigers catch sheep".
2. It's spicy and boiling
This is a kind of salty soup made of sweet potato powder or "raw flour". All the dishes are cut into small squares. The main ingredients are lean meat, winter bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, dried fragrant mushrooms, oil bubbles, peanuts, Sichuan beans, spinach, pig ears, black fungus and baked clams.
3. Crystal Cake
Sweet and soft crystal cake is the favorite of many Tiantai people. It is mainly made of glutinous rice flour, eggs and sugar by mixing and steaming in equal proportion. It is fragrant, soft and sweet. You can eat both hot and cold, and it is more suitable for cold eating. Because glutinous rice is not easy to rot, it is also easy to carry.
4. Paste pulling
Also known as paste pulling, as the name implies, it is to make wheat flour into a thin paste without losing its viscosity, and drag it into a round pancake by hand in a pot, one at a time, and it will be cooked in less than one minute. It is convenient to make, crispy and delicious, and it is one of the daily routines of Tiantai villagers.
5. Wheat cake
Also known as meatball wheat cake. Chopped lean meat paste (commonly known as "meatball paste") is used as stuffing to make it slightly smaller. The way to eat wheat cakes is exquisite. Three chopsticks are commonly used. Hold a chopstick in the left hand and hold the wheat cakes in the plate. Take a pair of chopsticks in the right hand to pick them up. Dip them in soy sauce and vinegar, and you can eat them.
6. Flat food
It is similar to jiaozi's, but smaller. It is fuller than the wonton we often eat. The shape of flat food is slightly flat, quite like an ear. It is a kind of food that cuts all kinds of dishes into granules and then wraps them in a square powder bag, which can be eaten in soup or branded with wine. The stuffing is made by cutting all kinds of raw materials into granules and then wrapping them in a square powder bag, which is slightly flat and looks like ears, hence the name.
7. Cake Stickiness
Making is a bit complicated. First, you should choose good japonica rice, wash it with pulp, dry it on a bamboo mat for half a day, and then grind it into rice flour. The ground rice flour should be screened with a powder sieve, the chaff and rice bran should be removed, and then steamed with rice retort. Therefore, the cake here is particularly delicious, soft and sweet, and it is memorable.
8. Sheep's feet and hooves
On the rooftop, there is another kind of pastry, which is named sheep's feet and hooves because it looks like sheep's feet and hooves. It is not difficult to make it. The fermented sweet flour is made into the shape of a sheep's hoof with a round periphery, a flat bottom and four petals on the top, sprinkled with sesame seeds, dried and baked, which is sweet, crisp, fragrant and delicious.
9. Huoshaobing
is one of the special foods in Tiantai. It is made by fermenting the above fine flour, mixing with crisp oil, kneading into a cake crust, kneading stuffing made of chopped fat and shallots into a cake shape, then coating a layer of fragrant crisp oil on the cake, sprinkling sesame seeds on the crisp oil, and then sticking it on the inner wall of a fire-baked sesame cake oven to bake until it is mature.
When baking cakes in the oven, the temperature and humidity are very particular. When baking, the fragrance sprayed from the oven mouth often permeates half the streets and lanes, which makes people drool.
