Roujiamo
Speaking of the delicacies of Laoshan, Roujiamo is another delicacy that cannot be forgotten. There are many theories about the origin of the name Roujiamo: "Roujiamo" is the abbreviation of the ancient Chinese "Roujiamo". In the past, people called "Roujiamo" as "Mojiarou", but in the Shaanxi dialect, the pronunciations of "Mo" and "Mei" are similar, which sounds like "without meat", so the name was changed to "Roujiamo". In addition, Roujiamo has spawned many sub-products, such as Vegetable Momo, Spicy Momo, etc., which are equally delicious.
Roujiamo is actually a wonderful combination of two foods: cured meat and white lucky steamed bun. The Roujiamo is a combination of cured meat and white steamed buns, which complement each other and bring out their respective flavors to the extreme. The steamed bun is fragrant and crispy, fat but not greasy, and has an endless aftertaste. Cured pork has a long history and is well-known in China. When paired with white steamed buns, it has the reputation of a Chinese-style burger. It is famous both at home and abroad and is deeply loved by people. Cured Pork Momo is carefully prepared with more than 30 kinds of seasonings. Due to the fine selection of ingredients, the perfect cooking skills, and the use of aged soup, the cured pork is unique, with a ruddy color and fragrant smell. The meat is soft and glutinous, minced but not rotten, rich and mellow, and has a unique flavor.
Noodles
Located in the center of China, Shaanxi has a suitable climate, fertile land, and is rich in fine wheat. Therefore, people like to eat pasta, just like southerners love to eat rice. When the North and the South meet, food is harmonious. When it comes to pasta, everyone thinks of Xinjiang chicken noodles, Lanzhou beef noodles, Shanxi noodles, etc. But in fact, the variety of noodles, the fine workmanship, and the beautiful taste are all in Shaanxi.
