Quanzhou, located in Fujian Province, is a city with a very developed manufacturing industry. Its history is very long, and the cultural precipitation makes everything here with the ancient Chinese style, especially the local food, which makes people relish. Here are some tips and recommendations for Quanzhou food.
A collection of delicious food
If you want to keep people in a strange city, the first factor is definitely the local food culture. If you want to go to Quanzhou again, it must be for the delicious food in Quanzhou. As a chaozhou people who is not used to northern pasta, the similar Quanzhou diet seems to be just right, seemingly the same, but slightly different. [salty rice]
The first meal in Quanzhou, I casually went to a shop near the hotel, which was not a famous old brand. The boss was an ordinary couple in Quanzhou. Even if it was not as delicious as the old brand, it was an authentic Quanzhou salty rice.
At first glance, it is undoubtedly slightly different from fried rice. Fried rice is fried with cooked rice and ingredients, while salted rice is fried with raw rice and ingredients, so it is more delicious. The ingredients can be carrots, taro and so on, which varies from person to person. Salted rice is to Quanzhou people what kimchi is to Koreans. [Peanut Soup]
Quanzhou is the birthplace of peanut soup, and the photos were taken in a hurry, and the color was slightly inferior. Peanut soup is very simple, that is, peeled peanuts, sweetened, sweet and refreshing to eat, moistening throat and warming stomach.
When you walk in the streets of Quanzhou, you can always see the brand "Anhai frozen bamboo shoots" hanging on the tin tricycle parked by the roadside, which is the kind of frozen bamboo shoots sold.
According to legend, bamboo shoots jelly was invented by Zheng Chenggong. It is a kind of worm that grows in the sea. After boiling and cooling, it forms a lump, which is soaked with soy sauce and tastes crisp and elastic. [Yuanxiao Pill]
Yuanxiao Pill is a traditional snack in Quanzhou. It is said that the tradition of eating Yuanxiao Pill during the Lantern Festival has existed since the Song Dynasty. Its fillings include peanuts, sesame seeds, etc. It tastes sweet and chewy, and the taste, shape and fillings are not much different from those of glutinous rice balls. It is said that the practice is different. Yuanxiao is rolled out and glutinous rice balls are wrapped, so it is probably necessary to carefully taste them to eat subtle differences. [Fried Yogurt]
This isn't a special food in Quanzhou, just like Zhongshan Road and Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. Most of the complicated food shops in the scenic spots don't sell local special foods, and they can be found everywhere in many scenic spots. Although they are not special, they don't affect the appetite. [four fruit soup]
four fruit soup belongs to Caicai, Fujian Province. As the name implies, it is the soup of four kinds of fruits (ingredients), which is especially popular in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. This shop is next to the Tianhou Palace, and the business is very good. A small storefront is full of people.
A bowl of 7 yuan money, you can choose any four kinds of red beans, mung beans, mangoes, watermelons, tremella, etc., and add them to the sugar water, or you can add stone flower paste, which is sweet and refreshing, and it is a delicious drink in summer.
Similar to Chaozhou's _ juice, Quanzhou's noodle paste can also be added with any food, such as scrambled eggs, sausages, oysters, shrimps, lean meat, etc. The noodle paste is made of fine flour and sweet potato powder, which is mushy, similar to Chaozhou's rice congee, with smooth taste, thirst quenching, warm stomach and full belly, and it is still unforgettable. [Steak]
The so-called steak is different from the steak in western food. You should eat it with bowls and chopsticks.
After eating two restaurants, Tumen Street is still very delicious. The steak is very tender and has a feeling of melting in the mouth. The seasoning must be very complicated to make such a beautiful taste. For those who have eaten Chaozhou beef hot pot and beef offal, this Quanzhou steak is also very attractive.
when doing raiders, many people write "beef soup" on the internet, but many signboards seen on the streets of Quanzhou write "beef stem", which seems to be more suitable, but no matter which one, it will not affect its delicious taste.
The beef stalks seem simple, that is, beef and shredded ginger. The delicious food is still Haochengcai. The master makes them by hand, and it takes several hours to grasp and stir the beef.
The beef made has excellent elasticity, which can be said to be more elastic than the famous Chaozhou beef balls, and its taste is excellent. It is definitely one of the must-eat foods when you go to Quanzhou. 〈 Zongzi 〉
Eating Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is a custom in many places. Zongzi is a must-have item in Quanzhou Dragon Boat Festival, and it is often eaten by people, but I don't know if it is the wrong store or the original one. To tell the truth, the dripping Zongzi with sand tea and peanut butter not only looks bad, but also doesn't taste as good as the Zongzi you used to eat. [Ginger Duck]
Most of the foods introduced above originated in Quanzhou, and this ginger duck is no exception. A duck has its internal organs removed and a large pot, which is oily but not greasy, warm but not dry, as advertised.
It is said that it can replenish qi and blood. Because I was in a hurry, I picked a shop at random in Tumen Street. I heard that there is a loyal ginger duck that is extremely delicious. The duck meat is tender and almost melts in the mouth. It sounds tempting, but it is a pity that I can't taste it.
There are still many delicious foods in Quanzhou, but I haven't tasted them all in just three days, but these are enough to leave me with endless aftertaste. Even if I forget the Millennium Kaiyuan Temple and Guandi Temple and the drunken West Lake, I still remember this feast of taste buds.
