My hometown is located in the southwest of Hunan Province and is known as the "gateway to southern Hunan". Yes, it's Dongan.
Dongan is a beautiful place.
Dong 'an is half city and half village, with beautiful scenery and charming scenery. Dong 'an has Huang Shun, Wugong Pagoda and Guangli Bridge. Among them, Huang Shun is the most peculiar. According to legend, Shun Di passed by here on his southern tour, was attracted by his wonderful scenery, and decided to live here. So people call it "Huangshunshan".
Dong 'an not only has beautiful scenery, but also a lot of delicious food! If you come to Dongan, you will have a good time!
The blood duck in Dong 'an is really delicious, and the rice noodles are quite good. Of course, the most distinctive thing is Dong 'an Chicken!
Dong 'an Chicken, also known as "vinegar chicken", is named after it is produced in Dong 'an. It is a famous dish in Dong 'an and one of the eight famous dishes in Hunan cuisine. Dong 'an Chicken began in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of 1200 years.
Legend has it that one night in the Tang Dynasty, several business guests came to a restaurant. At that time, when the food in the restaurant was sold out, the shopkeeper cut the chicken into small pieces, added seasonings such as onion, ginger and pepper, stir-fried it in hot oil, added salt, wine and vinegar, and then poured sesame oil into the pot. After the guest officer ate it, he was full of praise, and Dong 'an Chicken became more and more famous. Later, it was named "Dong 'an Chicken".
Dong 'an chicken is delicious, spicy and sour, which will definitely make you memorable.

Cut the chicken into strips, remove the pedicels and seeds from the peppers, cut into pieces, stir-fry the chicken, peppers, prickly ash and ginger in a pan, add vinegar to rub sesame oil, and a plate of Dong 'an chicken is ready.
When I was a child, my grandmother always cooked Dong 'an chicken for me. As soon as the spicy Dongan chicken comes up,
I can't help drooling. Huang Chengcheng's chicken gives off bursts of fragrance. If you eat hot Dong 'an chicken in winter, it will definitely make you forget the cold.
I love Dong 'an Chicken in my hometown, and I love Dong 'an in my hometown even more.
