Nowadays, many people like to experience all kinds of delicious food while traveling. The more they eat, the more they feel that China's food culture is profound and endless. Not long ago, I was traveling in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province. Although Linhai is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Taizhou, its historical culture and food culture have a long history. Many special foods left a deep impression on me.
For example, when I was eating in Linhai, I ate a very special dessert, which was soft and delicious and almost melted in my mouth. It tastes similar to fried dumplings, but it's not quite the same. The red bean paste stuffing inside is more sweet and delicious, which quickly aroused my curiosity.
I asked my friends in Linhai what the name of this dessert was, but my friends kept it a secret and said they would sell it after eating. I just told me that what I just ate was a dessert fried with egg white, which belongs to coastal specialty food. The name is also amazing. The reason why it is called "egg white sheep's tail" is mainly because its shape is particularly like sheep's tail.
Coincidentally, on the way back from the hotel, I came across a roadside stall to make "egg white sheep tail" It turns out that this kind of dessert is very common in Linhai. I'm just very curious about how the unique taste of "egg white sheep tail" is made, so I stopped to see their making process.
The stall owner is very enthusiastic. When she heard that I wanted to know, she immediately showed me the whole process of making "egg white sheep tail". She deliberately took out the egg whites prepared in advance and planned to make them for me from scratch.
I first watched her put the egg whites in a container and beat them into cream with electric egg beater. She also told me that when making the "egg white sheep tail", we only need to insert a chopstick, and if the chopsticks don't fall off, it's finished. Of course, you can also choose to beat the egg whites by hand, but in this case, it will definitely be a big test for your arm muscles.
Then, the stall owner took out his other "magic weapon", sweet bean paste, that is, the stuffing wrapped in "egg white sheep tail" was thrown away. I saw that the stall owner had a quick hand and a quick eye, picked up chopsticks, wrapped the sweet bean paste in egg white, and put it into the oil pan along the side of the pot.
After cooking, the stall owner has been pouring hot oil on the "egg white sheep tail" to make the whole "egg white sheep tail" heated evenly, and then it can be taken out when it is fried to golden brown. I have to admire the wisdom of the people near the sea. Simple egg white makes a special food with such simple steps. If a foreign tourist just comes to Linhai and sees the name "egg white sheep tail", it is estimated that it is difficult to guess what ingredients it is made of.
Look at the world from an interesting angle and be the most attitude traveler.
