snowballing

A delicious food that old Beijingers never forget is one of the famous traditional snacks in old Beijing. It is steamed by mixing pea powder and soybean powder, rolled with bean paste, and then rolled into fried bean noodles for molding. The finished product is bright in red, white and Huang San colors. Because the final production process needs to be wrapped in yellow bean, just like the bursts of loess raised by wild donkeys in the countryside when they roll around, so it is named snowballing.

snowballing usury, also known as bean flour cake, is one of the ancient varieties of Beijing snacks. Its raw material is steamed with yellow wheat water, and the dough is slightly softened with more water. In addition, the soybeans are fried and rolled into flour. When making, the steamed yellow wheat is covered with soybean flour and rolled into skin, then covered with red bean paste (or brown sugar), rolled up, cut into small pieces of about 1g, and sprinkled with white sugar. When making, the stuffing is required to be rolled evenly, with distinct layers and yellow appearance, which is characterized by fragrance, sweetness, stickiness and strong flavor of soybean powder. Beijing roast duck

This kind of food is famous overseas. What's delicious in Beijing? The first food they think of must be this. This dish has a very long history and needs to be baked slowly with charcoal fire, and the raw materials need to be carefully selected. In the past, he was only eaten by royalty in the palace. He was fat but not greasy, crispy outside and tender inside, and very delicious.

Roasted duck is a world-famous Beijing dish. It is made of high-quality meat duck, Beijing Duck, roasted with fruit and wood charcoal fire, with rosy color, fat but not greasy meat, crisp outside and tender inside, and is known as "delicious in the world". Nowadays, the hanging roast duck and braised roast duck are two major schools of roast duck in Beijing, which are "the best in the world". Beijing roast duck is known as the representative dish of Beijing diet. The hanging roast duck represented by Quanjude and the braised roast duck represented by Cheap Square are made from Beijing stuffed duck and baked in the oven after several processes. The finished product is golden, shiny, dry, crisp and tender. When eating, it is covered with sweet noodle sauce with branded mint leaf cakes. Kidney bean roll

Kidney bean roll is a special cake in Beijing. This is a kind of cake made of kidney bean paste. Its color is white, it tastes sweet and delicious, and it melts in the mouth. According to legend, one day, Cixi was resting in the cold when she suddenly heard the loud gong. He asked people around him what he was doing. The waiter replied that it was selling kidney bean rolls. Cixi called this person in, and then tasted the kidney bean roll, calling it delicious. So I let this person stay in the palace and make snacks for her. Sesame sauce fire

salty fire, there is a fire on TV in niujie, which has been passed down for generations. I'd better go to several old brands to buy the sesame sauce in Beijing. I don't think it's delicious from other shops and restaurants. Either the sesame sauce doesn't taste good enough or there are not enough layers, or it looks like a baked bread. Fried liver

Fried liver has a history of more than 1 years, which is an important part of traditional breakfast in Beijing. It has the characteristics of bright soup, fragrant garlic on the nose, fat but not greasy, sparse and unremitting. Because the liver and sauce of fried liver can be evenly distributed, the authentic method of eating fried liver < P > is to hold the bottom of the bowl in a circle with one hand without any tableware. Door nail patties

That's a delicious soup. As early as the 198s, there was a Beijing food street in the back street of Wangfujing, where stalls were set up at night to sell old Beijing snacks, such as fried liver, snowballing, meat burning, doornail patties, and so on. Every time I went on a business trip, I always patronized it, and the doornail patties were palm-sized, very thick, and they were delicious in a hot pot, and I was deeply impressed.

Although all the snacks in old Beijing have been tasted, only this doornail patty is unforgettable. Its name is a little strange at first, and no nails have been eaten. It turned out to be a head nail on the gate. When I go to Beijing again, Wangfujing Food Night Market has changed a lot of foreigners, and there are many kinds of barbecues, and the snacks in old Beijing are not so authentic. At this time, I have moved to other places to look for old Beijing snacks, which is not limited to that place for foreigners to eat. Noodle tea

Many people think that the breakfast of northerners is steamed bread and fried dough sticks, and noodles are better, but in fact, Beijingers

are very particular about it. This snack is their breakfast, which looks like porridge and is very nutritious. It

smells very fragrant with sesame sauce, sesame oil and pepper. The wallet burned

was named after it was shaped like a wallet for carrying goods on a belt. The burnt skin is thin and stuffed, golden in color, tender in the outside and delicious. When making, the dough is filled with stuffing, folded on both sides, and the other two sides are not sealed. After frying in a flat pan until golden brown, take it out of the pan and serve it while it is hot. It is golden in color, fragrant and delicious. Because of its long strip shape, it is sometimes folded in half, similar to the wallet worn on the shoulder in ancient times, hence the name "wallet burning". Its taste is similar to pot stickers, but its shape is different. Aiwowo

Aiwowo is a special food in Beijing. The main raw materials are rice, sugar, sesame seeds, walnuts and so on. It is a delicious dessert. Liu Ruoyu, an internal supervisor during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a sentence in "Deliberation in Records": "Taking glutinous rice with sesame seeds as a cold cake and pills as a nest, that is, the ancient' not falling into the folder' is also true." It can be seen that there was Aiwowo in the Ming Dynasty.

According to legend, concubines in Palace of Gathered Elegance in the Ming Dynasty were used to delicacies and wanted to change their tastes. One day, the Hui chef in Palace of Gathered Elegance brought the "Aiwowo" which he often eats from home, and was seen by a maid-in-waiting when he was eating in the kitchen. After the maid-in-waiting tasted it, she thought it was very delicious, so she took it to the queen. The queen thought it was delicious after eating it, so she ordered the chef to cook this delicious food. From then on, this Aiwowo became famous. It flowed out of the palace and was worth a hundred times at once. It became a famous snack in Beijing.
