Two years ago, I was fortunate enough to come to Yangjiang Vocational and Technical College to study. As a foodie, of course I have to carry forward the fine traditional spirit of foodies: eat wherever you go! Now, let me take you to know about the food in Yangjiang! These are all authentic Yangjiang delicacies! !
1. Long-tailed snail. Chinese name: Cone snail, also called hairpin snail, affordable and delicious. There are many snack bars, big partners and restaurants in Yangjiang offering special snacks. Stir-fried with chili and served with a glass of beer, it is definitely a delicious late-night snack.
2. Hand-shredded salted fish. The raw material used in "hand-shredded salted fish" is a small fish called Gaisuwen. Different from "one-night stand", "hand-shredded salted fish" needs to be "marinated" for 3 to 5 days before it can be released. I heard from the fishermen that the name of hand-shredded salted fish is because the country removed the heads, tails and bones of the small fish, leaving only the meat, so it was called "shredded". The "pickled" salted fish, coupled with soy sauce, chili, MSG, chopped green onion and other seasonings, becomes another refreshing and delicious dish!
3. Yangjiang Mazi. Ma Zai is also known as Fen Ma Zai and Daoqie Zai. Knead the rice flour into lumps and cut it into strips with a knife, then add various ingredients. The most classic one is to add dried shrimps and cook it, which is similar to soup noodles, but the texture and taste are quite different. Many people think that hor fun is Ma Chai, but it is actually different. The rice noodles in Yangjiang are a bit special. They are thinner, have a different texture from other places, and are made in different ways. They are more delicious than the rice noodles in other places. The general way to eat it is to cook the rice noodles in soup, add big bone broth, and eat it with white-cut plum meat, pork ribs, or vermicelli. Especially the beef brisket soup noodles are quite delicious.
4. Salt and pepper mantis shrimp. Mantis shrimp is also known as rich shrimp, pipa shrimp, etc. Mantis shrimp is its scientific name. The paste in the shrimp is said to be particularly nourishing, and its high protein content can also be used for beauty purposes. The salt and pepper on the outside coats the fried and crispy shrimp skin, which is very delicious. But when I tasted it, the meat inside was tender and juicy, with a hint of seafood flavor and very soft shrimp meat. It was completely unlike the chewy texture of Jiwei shrimp. No wonder people call salt and pepper shrimp thumb-sucking shrimp. This kind of thick-shelled but very delicious jumbo shrimp goes perfectly with salt and pepper. You can either remove the shell and eat the meat, or you can chew it together with the shell. The color is brown and the aroma is rich. Hurry and start!
5. Three shredded fried fish noodles. "Three shredded fried fish noodles" can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty 500 years ago in the history of Yangjiang Hailing Island cuisine. To form the fish noodles, the main ingredient, mackerel, must first be minced manually through traditional methods, and then the minced meat must be kneaded into patties using pure manual labor. The patties are then rolled out and then shredded into noodles. Roll out the noodles, put them in a frying pan and add basic seasonings such as ginger, salt, soy sauce, MSG, etc., then mix in shredded red and green peppers, and you have a delicious "Three Silk Fried Fish Noodles". .
6. White sand goose rice. Goose rice is a special food in Yangjiang. In the eyes of Yangjiang people, goose rice is considered the best on the table. Goose rice is a kind of meat rice. The meat is, of course, the meat of the goose. Remove the skin and bones of the goose, take the meat, finely chop it into pieces and go through a series of seasonings and ingredients, stir-fry over high heat, then braise it with rice and finally add chopped green onion, which will make anyone salivate after seeing it.
7. Pork belly wrapped with chicken. Belly-wrapped Chicken, also known as Pork Belly Chicken by the locals. As the name suggests, the dish refers to cooking a whole chicken wrapped in the pig's belly. It is known as the rebirth of a phoenix in the industry. The "pork belly chicken" made from authentic Qingyuan chicken has a particularly memorable taste. It was originally a dish eaten by Hakka women during confinement. It is said to have very good nourishing effects. The taste of this delicacy made from authentic Qingyuan chicken is particularly evocative, and its reputation has been further spread.
8. Steamed vermicelli with horseshoe crab shell. Horseshoe crab [hòu] is a blue-blooded creature from 400 million years ago. It has a taste that has never been experienced before. It is said that the horseshoe crab is one of the oldest animals. Its blood is blue and contains copper ions. The horseshoe crab shell also has high medicinal value. This kind of weird creature rarely appears in urban restaurants, let alone has any famous cooking techniques. However, Yangjiang has retained a good ecological environment due to less development. With more horseshoe crabs, the eating methods will naturally change. Become rich.
9. Mudworm porridge. "Mudworms" have the effect of nourishing yin, nourishing the kidneys and nourishing the skin. "Mudworms" are produced in the soil at the seaside. Restaurants have dozens of ways to make them: fried mudworms with mushrooms, salt and pepper mudworms, mudworm crucian carp soup... The most popular one is the mudworm porridge. The "mudworm" is crispy and refreshing in the mouth, with a strong seafood flavor but no sand. This is because each mudworm takes a lot of effort. Clean and turn the intestines. The usual way to make mudworm porridge is to cook the porridge with lean meat, shredded ginger, shrimps and peanuts. When the porridge is served, add the mudworms chopped green onions and coriander. After a while, the mudworms will float on the surface of the porridge. The strips are plump and the porridge is also delicious. It's incredibly sweet, and since mudworms are not only delicious but also very aphrodisiac, they make a great late-night snack.
10. Yangjiang pig intestines. Pig intestine is a famous traditional snack in Yangjiang, Guangdong. It is a local signature snack and belongs to Cantonese cuisine. Because pig intestines are round in shape and look like pig intestines, they are named pig intestines. Pig intestines are similar to rice noodle rolls, but the taste is very different. The filling of traditional pork intestines is made of bean sprouts and fried rice noodles. It is wrapped in a whole sheet of rice noodles, sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and drizzled with some meat. Fragrant juice, salty and fragrant, very delicious.
