Ningbo is a coastal city with a long history of Wuyue culture, where the three rivers and the lake and the sea meet. The sweet and salty food makes this small town memorable. Today, Xiaobian brings you the top five food lists of Ningbo.

1. Fermented rice balls

Fermented rice balls are Han snacks in the south of the Yangtze River. It is made by rolling glutinous rice flour balls with fruit as stuffing and cooking them with fermented grains. The wine is rich and sweet, with glutinous dumplings and sweet stuffing. Fermented rice balls are desserts, and the main raw materials are glutinous rice, fermented rice, etc. They are warm and strong foods, and have the effects of invigorating the middle warmer, invigorating qi, invigorating the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and stopping sweating.

2. Crab with red paste

Crab with red paste is a traditional Han snack in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, which is bright red, fresh, salty and tender. Put cold boiled water in a container, add salt, white wine, onion and ginger to make a strong brine, then put the washed red cream crab in and marinate it for 8 hours. Red paste salty gun crabs are all made of wild Portunus trituberculatus in the East China Sea. They are strong and have red paste, and there are small holes in the crab's back shell. You can see the red paste and the meat is full.

3. Large yellow croaker with cabbage

Large yellow croaker with cabbage, also known as large yellow croaker with soup, is a famous dish with local characteristics in Ningbo. Rhubarb fish is tender and has little bone, and has been known as "trivial golden scale nephrite paste" since ancient times. Sauerkraut pickles, crisp and tender in texture, are delicious and have a special fresh flavor. The large yellow croaker cooked with these two main ingredients has the characteristics of tender fish, strong flavor, clean mouth and rich nutrition, which is favored by diners. In Ningbo, potherb pickles are almost a regular dish in every family. There is an old saying in the local area: "Don't drink pickles soup for three days, your feet are a little sore." In this way, I express my hobby of potherb and pickles. Animal and plant proteins are complementary, rich in nutrition, and the next meal is excellent.

4, Yuyao yellow croaker noodles

Ningbo yellow croaker noodles originated in Yuyao, and yellow croaker noodles pay attention to crisp fish, thick soup and smooth noodles. Fry the wild and fresh yellow croaker until the fragrance overflows and the fish becomes crisp. The noodle soup is added with special soy sauce, which has a strong soup flavor. Noodles are handmade and added with alkali, which is very strong.

5. Fenghua taro head

Taro head has many ways to eat, and each has its own flavor, which can be baked, steamed, roasted raw, stir-fried, white-cut, poured with soup and boiled frozen. If it is baked and steamed, its fragrance is fragrant and the powder is like chestnut; If you cook soup and burn soup, it is as smooth as tremella and as glutinous as glutinous rice balls. Fenghua taro is not only delicious, but also a nutritious and pollution-free health food.

Ningbo is a beautiful city. I haven't been to Ningbo since I came back from Ningbo in 14 years. Now I think about it, Xiaobian still misses life at that time.
