Tianjin Cuisine Recommendation:
1. Circles
Circles originated in the 192s, and the founder meant "rising step by step", so the circle type was used to express this meaning. Nowadays, the time-honored coil shop still uses the traditional manual method to ensure the softness and crispness of each coil. Coils are usually eaten with soybean milk, but also dipped in white sugar and hot sauce. They are sweet and salty, and are a must-have food for many Tianjin people for breakfast.
2. Water-stuffed buns
Water-stuffed buns originated around 1912, and the "purple crystal buns" with lavender at first were very popular. Later, this color was replaced by other food additives, and the skin of water stuffed buns became white today. As breakfast, steamed stuffed buns with water usually need dipping seasoning, and the most traditional ones are rice vinegar and sesame oil. Delicate rice vinegar neutralizes the lightness of the filling, and sesame oil embellishes the flavor to enrich it.
3. Gaba cuisine
Gaba cuisine originated in the Qing Dynasty, and was originally a signature dish for the government to entertain foreign guests. After modern times, this dish gradually became popular and became a local flavor that cannot be missed in Tianjin.
The key to making Gaba cuisine lies in the selection and cutting of Chinese cabbage. It is necessary to select Chinese cabbage balls with small heads and thick mesophyll, and cut them into noodles-like shapes through a special oblique cutting method. After this treatment and frying, the cabbage will be particularly crisp.
