The most complete introduction to Jiexi Hakka snacks When it comes to eating, we always like to use the five flavors to distinguish them, such as the sourness of vinegar, the bitterness of cold melon, and the spiciness of Chaotian pepper.

But we often overlook that besides taste, food also has various colors, such as the brown of vinegar, the green of cold melon, and the red of chili pepper.

Furthermore, the orange of citrus, the purple of eggplant, the bright yellow of egg custard, and the snow-white of fish soup complement each other, creating a colorful world.

In this case, why not use colors as clues to taste the characteristics of a small city? Jiexi is so small, but have you eaten them all? ▲ Mud loach or in everyone’s memory of childhood, there are always one or two impressive delicacies

.

For me, it must be the 50-cent bowl of glutinous rice dumplings that I eat at the school gate every day after kindergarten.

But in today's small town, you really can no longer see that bicycle carrying Loach, and you can't hear uncle's clear shouting when walking through the streets.

▲Ji Qi Qi Qi is a bit like a steamed bun. At first I thought it was dry and tasteless. After biting it into my mouth and chewing it carefully, I realized that it was not the same thing. The starch gradually sweetened the taste and the soft texture was unmatched by steamed buns.

of.

▲Yuanyinbao Yuanyinbao is not served on the dinner table at home.

It is often in the afternoon before dinner, or when a craving strikes at night, that I pick a few to heat up.

The skin of the dumpling has returned to softness and toughness, and it is wrapped in refreshing preserved vegetables, accompanied by the aroma of crushed peanuts, which just soothes the temporary emptiness in the stomach.

▲Micheng Micheng is a sweet snack made of fried rice, sesame and peanuts.

Compared with other snacks, it is easier to carry and store, so it has become the "best souvenir" for visiting relatives and friends during the New Year and holidays.

"Being rice during the New Year" is a tradition in the small town.

Go to the handicraft workshop, find someone you know, pack a few buckets of rice, and then divide it into large and small bags when you get home, and distribute them all.

▲Xixin Xixin is also a special snack in the town.

The skin is made of rice flour and water, and the filling is a large amount of green garlic and fried dried tofu.

People who eat it intuitively feel that it is rich and flavorful, but others feel ecstasy when they smell it. This is comparable to the nationally famous stinky tofu.

So, every time I got on the bus away from home, there would be an aunt carrying several bags full of boxed rice dumplings and asking, "Does my sister love rice dumplings?". Before I could answer, there was a steward who came with me and rushed to her.

People: "You are not allowed to eat rice cakes while riding in the car!" It is also a unique scene in the small town.

▲Pour the rice milk into a steamer, steam it and cut it into four or six even portions. Add the fillings, twist the four corners in turn, fold it to the center and wrap it up, and you can eat.

People who eat steamed buns for the first time cannot master this trick, and they will always eat a lot of vegetable oil and make a mess.

Similar to Leicha, the fillings of Baobao are various: pumpkin, rice spoon vegetables, long beans, bamboo shoots, pickles, as well as auxiliary ingredients such as dried tofu and crushed peanuts. What you eat and how much you put depends on your personal taste and preference.

Well, come to Jiexi, steamed buns and ground beans go better together.

▲Leicha As a feature that is highly publicized at every tourism festival and is a feature that every household makes, Leicha may not need an explanation.

If you absolutely need an explanation, then you come here.

▲Mai Cong A piece of wheat cake and a cup of soy milk are the standard breakfast for elementary and junior high schools. One is salty and the other is sweet, complementing each other.

When I got to high school, I learned that a piece of wheat cake can also produce weird ways to eat it, such as "wrap rice dumplings in wheat cake", "wrap hot dogs", "wrap chicken tenders", "add spicy food", etc.

It sounds unbelievable at first, but after eating it, I couldn't help but buy it again. I also admired the whimsical idea of ??the breakfast shop owner.

▲Dried beans: Dried beans fried in oil are covered with a crispy yellow shell, but the inside is still soft and smooth with starch.

A bowl of garlic salt water is usually prepared for dipping and to reduce the heat of frying.

At the same time, fried things are inevitably greasy, so people in small towns wrap a piece of green beans with a piece of lettuce to add a refreshing taste to this snack.

▲Yong Tau Foo Many people may have heard of the term Yong Tau Foo, and it should have been made in many places.

But the Yong Tau Foo in Xiaocheng is neither braised nor steamed, but mostly fried.

It goes without saying that the process of "brewing" is very delicate, and frying is not as simple as imagined.

Not to mention the control of the heat and temperature during frying, it is not easy to maintain the shape of the tofu without breaking or cracking, and also keep the meat embedded in the tofu without leaking or falling apart.

But it is precisely because it is not easy to make that it tastes special.

▲Jiandui Most of the familiar Jiandui are round dumplings with a layer of white sesame seeds.

But in small towns, jiandui also has a different shape: oblate with patterns, mostly printed with molds.

As for the taste, except for the sesame seeds on the outer layer, there is not much difference.

▲Tianbao Tianbao, the name already reveals the taste.

It can be cut into slices, steamed and eaten, but the favorite way to eat it is to dip it in egg liquid and fry it slowly in light oil. The golden color is covered with dark brown. The aroma of the egg neutralizes the sticky and sweet taste of the sweet dumpling.

In addition, when it comes to sweet dumplings, there is an interesting expression.

The older generation would praise someone's healthy skin color by saying "sweet and sweet", but by our generation, "sweet and sweet" has become just a joke about "dark."
