As an ancient city in Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou is an important representative of China's culture and cuisine. Hangzhou has always been very concerned about the development of food, and has introduced many classic foods, such as West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp and so on. Below we can discuss several Hangzhou cuisines worth recommending.
1. Hangzhou buttered tea
As one of the most traditional cuisines in Hangzhou, Hangzhou buttered tea is based on the traditional Tibetan buttered tea culture and has been developed and improved for many years. It consists of milk tea and snacks, including fried dough sticks, steamed bread and flower rolls. Buttered tea is characterized by rich milk flavor, while fritters and other snacks are rich and varied. If Hangzhou can spread buttered tea to the whole country and even the whole world, I believe it will surely gain more food lovers.
2. Crayfish in Hangzhou
Crayfish is a very popular summer delicacy in Hangzhou. Crayfish is famous for its delicious and refreshing taste, and many people will eat it in summer. In the past, crayfish was more popular in the countryside. Now, Hangzhou has begun to introduce the old and bring forth the new, and it can be made into grilled crayfish, stir-fried crayfish, sweet and sour crayfish and so on with different tastes. If crayfish and beer can be tasted in bars and restaurants, I believe it will also become a highlight of modern cuisine.
3. Three cups of chicken in Hangzhou
Three cups of chicken in Hangzhou is a meat delicacy, which is made of chicken, onion, ginger and garlic, rice wine, soy sauce and other ingredients. It's called "Three Cups", and its characteristic is that three cups of the same size are used to prepare onion, ginger and garlic juice, rice wine and soy sauce respectively, and then they are stewed together for half an hour, and finally the taste is mellow, salty and slightly sweet. Three cups of chicken in Hangzhou is a delicious food, among which the distinctive feature is that it is marinated with rice wine to make the chicken crisp and juicy, which is different from other marinating methods.
4. Hangzhou caravan fresh meat pot stickers
As a local traditional food in Hangzhou, caravan fresh meat pot stickers are famous for their excellent production technology and taste. It is characterized by thin skin and rich soup, which is very delicious. The mouth material of the caravan fresh meat pot sticker is very cold. In hot summer, enjoying it is a good way to relieve fever and relieve summer heat. I believe that the caravan fresh meat pot stickers will be promoted to the modern food market, and it will certainly get more recognition and celebration.
To sum up, there are many delicious foods in Hangzhou, such as buttered tea, crayfish, three cups of chicken and caravan fried dumpling with fresh meat and so on. If these classic cuisines can be promoted to the whole world, and improved and innovated, so that they can adapt to diversified consumption needs, I believe they will become world-class cuisines representing the region and enhance the cultural and economic development of Hangzhou.
