cicada nymphs, also known as cicada turtles and cicada monkeys, and adults, also known as black cicadas, are representative species of cicadas. Many regions in China have the custom of eating grasshoppers and their nymphs, especially in Henan, Hubei, Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, Guangdong and other places. The most common eating method is "fried golden cicada". Cicada nymph (cicada turtle) has high nutritional value and unique taste, and it is a leader among edible insects. At present, it has become a famous dish suitable for various occasions. Especially the newly unearthed nymph contains 58.58%-72% protein, 1.23% fat, .3% total potassium, .58% total phosphorus, 16.5 mg/kg calcium and 82.2 mg/kg zinc. It's a rare game delicacy with high protein and low fat. Now I'd like to introduce some delicious dishes of golden cicada.

How thin is the potato? Generally, a potato can be "spun" into 6-meter-long silk, then wrapped in layers on the cicada pupa, fried in an oil pan, and the white sugar is boiled and drawn to cover the potato cicada pupa. I don't need to say more about the nutrition of this dish. A cicada pupa can top three eggs. Some people say that this is not a Northeast dish. In fact, this dish incorporates the "shredding skill" in Northeast cuisine. Anyone who is a little expert knows that Northeast cuisine is famous for its six kinds of filaments: shredded potato, shredded cabbage, shredded radish, shredded green pepper, shredded mustard tuber and shredded fried tomato.
