Wenzhou native people have an indescribable attachment to glutinous rice. Locals also call it "cooking". When I was a child, cooking was a simple pleasure. When I grow up, cooking bears the memory of my hometown.
Actually, cooking is not a special food. I believe that every city has mobile stalls selling glutinous rice balls along the street. However, only Wenzhou people will take cooking as the soul of the day, find a small shop every morning, sit down and solemnly pick up a bowl of cooking rice.
it is usually made of white glutinous rice with crystal clear and chewy grains in a stainless steel bowl, served with refreshing pickled mustard tuber, crispy pork floss, tender mushrooms, delicate salted egg yolk and fried and crispy fried fritters, and then sprinkled with a spoonful of salty and moderate minced meat soup. Stir it and send it into the mouth, and all kinds of different ingredients collide in the mouth with glutinous rice.
Those who like to eat sweet mouth are made of lard, glutinous rice is covered with sesame seeds, and then sprinkled with fine white sugar. The taste of soft glutinous rice is mixed with the sweetness of white sugar, which is better than countless people in Jiangnan who are fond of sweetness.
Cooking rice must be accompanied by a bowl of soybean milk, which tastes sweet and salty. The ancient taste is hard to extricate yourself.

It is said that southerners began to make dried noodles, a specialty of rice growing areas, in the Northern Song Dynasty. Soak the harvested rice, grind it into powder, then press it into thin strips as light as hair, dry it and set it, and it looks like the southern version of "Longxu Noodles". When Wenzhou people go out to do business, they always take more than a dozen bags, each of which is tied with rice stalks, and they never forget their hometown wherever they go.
dried vermicelli used for breakfast is often boiled in water, and the soup is clear and fragrant. Rich people can add some seafood such as yellow croaker, oyster and dried shrimp, which is "so fresh that they lose their eyebrows" in the morning. However, Friedvermicelli, as a midnight snack, is even more amazing. It has to be fried with cauldron, fire and long chopsticks, shredded with side dishes and beaten with eggs. Under the fierce fire, the ingredients are fully blended, and the aroma is overflowing and the wok is full of gas.
