what to eat in Zaozhuang? That's a lot. There are all kinds of famous dishes in all directions. Anyway, there are some here in other places, but what about those not in other places? So do we.
Zaozhuang locals have three kinds of famous foods that are necessary for the banquet: spicy chicken, mutton soup and vegetable pancakes. Some people, such as me, have grown up eating these delicacies almost since childhood, especially now that people are eating in a different way. Only these dishes have spawned various flavors and specialties, but they will never leave their original families. No matter how they change, the essence of these three famous dishes cannot be changed.
let's start with spicy chicken. Whether you are a big hotel, a small restaurant, a roadside stall or a unit canteen, or a dining table for residents, it is indispensable. The quality of spicy chicken is the standard to measure the level of a chef's kitchen skills, the key to measure the rise and fall of a hotel business, and the fundamental standard for whether men and women at home will live. Do you think it can be delicious? I only talk about the basic composition of spicy chicken: local chicken (which is not available anywhere else, but is the kind of cock), pepper (small pepper, dried pepper), other ingredients (basically potato chips, but also others such as yam and radish), and seasoning: fennel pepper. It's the most basic seasoning.
mutton soup: it's the soup made of mutton. Is it simple? Not simple! Or so many people are eager to eat? There are two ways to eat it, one is to mix meat with soup, add spicy oil (the special sheep oil), coriander, or add some vermicelli. It tastes sweaty and fragrant. If you catch a cold, eat a bowl, and then fall asleep with your head covered to ensure that you can get rid of the disease. Another way: eat meat and soup separately. Stew the soup white and call it clear soup. Put a soup pot on each table, or simply put a big pot and drink it in a small bowl. Mutton is mixed with pepper and coriander, or fried, with different methods. Speaking of this, I can't help but mention the famous store in Zaozhuang: Daobei old-fashioned mutton soup, which is only opened in the morning and noon, and is not cooked at night! That's the momentum. Every morning; Noon; Outsiders in the house are full. If they come late, they have to wait in line, and people are willing to wait. There are three dishes all year round, one bowl of mixed mutton, one bowl of mixed peanuts, and another dish of "tiger dishes". Just eat it, and you will have an endless aftertaste. Do you know what is the most expensive meat in Zaozhuang? Mutton! 28 yuan, a catty of cooked mutton.
This dish pancake is the most inexpensive and famous food. I dare to compare it with Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou. It is suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the price is less than three yuan. Whenever it's time to eat in front of factories, colleges, institutions and units, the pancake stalls are surrounded by twos and threes, and a few small stools are placed next to them, which can be prepared in three or four minutes. It's simpler than box lunch, but it's more substantial and nourishing than box lunch. Suitable for office workers, students and other people who don't have much rest time and want to eat simply. The method is simple, however, a pancake stall, baked pancakes, coated with vegetable oil and covered with various vegetables, such as tofu, cabbage, rape, pepper, eggs, etc.) and covered with a layer of pancakes, which can cover several layers. It varies from person to person, and you can choose your own seasoning vegetables. You can enjoy it. It's hot, delicious and spicy. Oh, delicious food!
I can't say any more. My mouth is watering. What should I do if I want to eat? Come to Zaozhuang and eat authentic Zaozhuang famous food!
