Suining vermicelli, also known as "Shaji vermicelli" and legendary as "Zhangjia vermicelli", is an authentic farm dish.
According to legend, Suining gouache skin originated during the Zhenghe period of the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Huizong came to Huaiyang on the East Road for a private visit incognito. At that time, it was still a stretch of sandy beaches, very deserted and desolate.
Huizong was hungry and thirsty after leaving, but there was neither a post station restaurant nor a wine shop or teahouse here, so he asked his entourage to go to a hundred people nearby to find simple meals to satisfy their hunger. It happened to be a family named Zhang who was engaged in processing gouache leather. The man had already made it.
The good gouache skins were sold out, and the hostess had to sort out the remaining pieces of gouache skins and add condiments to serve the guests.
After eating it, Emperor Huizong felt that it was sour, spicy, soft, moderately salty, cool and delicious, and very comfortable. He even said: "Good food, good food!" He asked what it was?
The hostess replied: "It's gouache skin." Huizong was so happy that he ordered that gouache skin be made a regular dish in the imperial dining room.
The Zhang family has been living in Shaji Town in the east of today's Suining, and has been passing down the Zhang family's powder leather craft from generation to generation.
Cold gouache skin, cold gouache skin, and Suining pulled skin taste better when stir-fried. This dish is a typical private dish in Suining. It must be ordered every time we go to a restaurant. Especially in summer, we like to eat hot dishes that have just been cooked and often eat them.
