Speaking of eating, I'm also a veritable foodie. I've been to many cities from south to north, and I've eaten all kinds of delicious food with unique urban characteristics. But when it comes to authentic food in China, I still recommend many kinds to you.
1. Hotpot
As a native of Chongqing, I am proud to recommend China's authentic food-Hotpot. I have eaten hot pot all over the world, but I feel that it is not authentic. I still miss the authentic taste of Chongqing. In the authentic hot pot in Chongqing, you don't need any sesame sauce or garlic for dipping, just a bottle of red oil is enough. Moreover, the bottom material of the hot pot is the local red pepper in Chongqing, which is particularly spicy and will not be mixed with other soups and the like. Especially on a hot day, eating hot pot will make you feel full of sweat, but this is exactly what Chongqing feels like. However, when I was away from home, there were many hot pot shops, and many hot pot restaurants were all branded as Chongqing and Sichuan, but they didn't feel authentic. There were many seasonings, and it felt like eating a small hot pot in the north.
Hot pot can represent the fiery enthusiasm of Chongqing people. When eating, duck intestines, duck blood, hairy belly, fat mutton and bamboo shoots are all essential. These ingredients are scalded in a spicy hot oil pan, and some red oil will be very delicious without too much seasoning. I think the most authentic food in China is hot pot. I used to read a joke that Africans eat with claws, but what if Africans eat hot pot? Imagine for yourself
2. jiaozi
If you think of the authentic food in China, you will think of jiaozi that many people like. Jiaozi feels like a festive food. What I like is that during the Chinese New Year, we children gather around the kitchen, watching mom and grandma bread all kinds of stuffing on the stove, jiaozi, and jiaozi with pork, carrots and beans. Every time I eat jiaozi, I can eat 2 dishes, nearly 31 of which are full. With a little Shanxi vinegar, I think this is the best food in China. Generally speaking, the wheat flour in the north is very good, and the packaged jiaozi is delicious. Most of jiaozi in the south has soup, and even the soup is eaten with jiaozi. In other places, there are also many jiaozi shops. When you can't go home in other places on holidays, you can eat a jiaozi, feel the taste of home and miss it.
Third, rice rolls, Guangdong
On a National Day trip, I went to Guangzhou. Starting from Harbin, I finally arrived in Guangzhou after sitting in a hard seat for more than 31 hours. Guangzhou is really a very hot place. Even when northern China wore coats in October, Guangzhou still wore shorts and short sleeves, and sweated and bathed every day. Fruits in Guangzhou are generally much cheaper, and there are many kinds of delicious foods in Guangzhou, but I think rice rolls in Guangzhou is the best, and it is also an authentic food in China. There are many fillings in rice rolls, and the most common one is rice rolls with eggs in it. Rice rolls is steamed in a special steamer. It tastes particularly waxy, and it is very fragrant and soft. Very distinctive. I eat a ten-year-old brand, and of course there are many fillings with different prices.
