Gutian County is the hometown of mushroom, and its specialty products such as tremella and peaches are well-known overseas. Gutian's food has always been covered with mysterious veil.
Gutian Guobian
Gutian now belongs to Ningde City, but it once belonged to Minhou area in history, and Gutian dialect is almost the same as Fuzhou dialect. The food in Gutian is similar to that in Fuzhou, and the taste is the same. There are many foods in Gutian in Fuzhou, such as the pot side.
The biggest difference between Gutian and Fuzhou is the soup. Gutian's soup is cooked with viscera such as Lohan meat and small intestine, while Fuzhou's is cooked with clams and clams. The pot is cooked in a firewood stove, and the pot is thick and does not paste after a long time. The pot is also stewed with viscera such as Lohan meat and small intestine, which is really different.
There are also small intestines beside Lianjiang Pot in Fuzhou, but the taste of soup is mainly seafood, with mellow meat and no fishy smell.
Lohan meat from the small intestine is cut into pieces, but it's a pity that only simple soy sauce is provided for dipping. If some old garlic sauce and other seasonings are used, it will definitely add to the icing on the cake, but local people eat it this way, which is the different food culture characteristics of each place.
There are fried foods such as oil cakes and spring rolls scattered on the table, just like Fuzhou.
Qingcao Soup
Qingcao Soup is a unique food in Gutian.
Qingcao refers to medicinal materials, which are all natural and transported from the mountains, chopped into small pieces by special personnel, and there are more than a dozen of them, which are about tonifying kidney, cooling and detoxifying.
there is a big iron pot outside the shop, boiling the chopped herbs.
the liquid medicine scooped out from the cauldron is filtered and put into the iron drum.
then transfer it to the iron pot in the store. At this time, add the store's unique formula, which is supposed to be angelica and other medicinal materials, and boil it again.
Many foreigners think that this is a halogen product. In fact, it looks like all kinds of meat cooked in liquid medicine, including rabbit meat, duck meat, chicken, viscera, glutinous rice sausage and so on.
The first bite felt bland, and the second bite felt the smell of medicine. It was a combination of the flavors of more than a dozen medicinal materials, including angelica sinensis and the essence of wind oil similar to weak grass. The more you drink it, the better it tastes. Even after drinking five bowls, you can put it down. In contrast, the meat is nothing special. It is still eaten with soy sauce.
local people usually stir-fry a green vegetable and have a pot of this grass soup to eat with rice. If there is not enough soup and rice, you can add it yourself, which is very local.
Pinghu cuisine
It is said that Pinghu people are the best eaters, and Pinghu banquets are the most famous. There are several delicious foods in Pinghu that are best cooked in Gutian, namely tofu soup, mullet soup and pig lung.
bean curd soup
Pinghu bean curd soup is hot and a little spicy; It is sweet and won't make people feel greasy. Its delicacy comes from its two ingredients-water and tofu. Pinghu is a land of plenty, with rich products and beautiful mountains and waters. There are three rivers in the territory, such as Dacai River, Yuyuanxi River and Changtanxi River, which are the main source of Gutian Cuiping Lake. Clear mineral water flows in the mountains, so the water quality is particularly good. Tofu made from organic soybeans planted here has no water lines and impurities, is white and delicate, is elastic when gently pressed by hand, chews it carefully, tastes smooth and tender, and tastes pure and fragrant, which is famous in Gutian.
mullet soup
Actually, this soup should be called water-fried squid soup. Let's put the water-fried squid aside for the time being. Let's talk about soup first. There is a very appropriate description for the old sucker, which is called syrup mullet. This soup is ten times sweeter than the soup of Wuxi ribs.
Fish Soup
Lung Soup
This Linji Lung Tablet is also a famous shop highly recommended by local people. Although the environment is not so good, its taste is really first-class.
