Dan Dan Noodles
In the article introducing Chongqing, I introduced Chongqing noodles to you, which is a kind of noodles with Chongqing characteristics. As the capital of Sichuan, Chengdu naturally has a Sichuan-style noodle, that is, Dandan Noodles. Dandan Noodles's name is very strange, in fact, because in the early years, this kind of noodles was picked by porters and sold in the street.
Dandan Noodles is similar to many Sichuan dishes, with bright red color, strong spicy taste and sour taste. Sichuan cuisine with Chili peppers has a characteristic of being spicy but not dry, which is related to the varieties of Sichuan peppers. This spicy taste will not make people feel uncomfortable and get angry all over, but will make you spicy and comfortable and have a long aftertaste. In addition to this kind of chili, spices such as minced meat, chili, minced garlic and sesame sauce also make Dandan Noodles taste spicy and fragrant.
Ice powder
Unexpectedly, in a pile of spicy and fragrant Sichuan dishes, Chengdu still hides such a sweet and cold food that can dispel fire and relieve summer heat. Ice powder is a famous snack in southwest China. It is tender, smooth and refreshing, sweet and appetizing, and cheap. This is a very popular summer dessert. After the ice powder is cooked and frozen, add brown sugar to increase the sweetness, then add hawthorn, watermelon, pitaya and other fruits, and finally add a little mint water, it is easy to feel its sweetness and coolness.
Pork longxin Chili sauce
Husband and wife lung slices are the most famous food in Chengdu in the world. Many Sichuan restaurants abroad regard husband and wife lung slices as their signature dishes, which shows their great influence. The name of the couple's lung slice is also very interesting, because a couple developed this dish, so they named it the couple's lung slice. Although there is "lung slice" in the name, there is no "lung" in the raw material of this dish today.
The main ingredients of the couple's lung slices are all kinds of beef scraps, such as beef tongue, tripe, heart and scalp, and now some beef has been added to enrich the taste of this dish. Marinate the main ingredients in a pot first, then add pepper, pepper, sesame, peanut and celery and stir well. The taste is spicy and tender, the price is moderate, and it is very popular.
Dragon wonton soup; Chengdu wonton
Sichuan people call wonton soup, and Long wonton soup is a famous wonton snack in Chengdu, which has a long history and carries the memories of the old Chengdu people. Chop fresh pig hind legs into minced meat, add an egg and special seasoning, stir vigorously, wrap them in wonton skin and cook them in a pot. Wonton soup is thin and stuffed, smooth and appetizing, fragrant and delicious; Wonton soup is delicious in mingche, and its taste is not even lost to wonton.
Steamed chicken with spicy sauce
Every city has its own unique way of eating chicken, and Chengdu is no exception. Water-splashing chicken is a classic dish in the famous Bashu area. The saliva chicken has a very classic Sichuan dish. Lots of peppers, peppers and oily soup bases are spicy and delicious. Even cold dishes, the taste and taste of saliva chicken are not inferior to those of chicken in other regions.
Because there are many peppers in the dish, the feeling of eating peppers in the mouth will make diners drool unconsciously, so this dish is called saliva chicken. Wash the chicken, cut it into pieces, cook or steam it in a pot, cool it, add the flavor juice made of red oil, pepper, pepper, sugar, soy sauce, sesame, balsamic vinegar and other seasonings, then sprinkle with chopped peanuts and coriander, which is mouth watering.
