In the staple food structure of the Tang people, cakes accounted for a large proportion. Wheat crops were widely planted in the Tang Dynasty, which laid a favorable foundation for the promotion of the staple food of cakes. People used cakes as side dishes. , constitute the basic pattern of daily staple and non-staple food. Before the Northern Dynasties, cakes were a general term for all kinds of shaped pasta except batter, and their scope was much wider than that of modern cake foods. For example, steamed buns were called steamed cakes, and noodles were called soup cakes! So if we arrive in the Tang Dynasty, this noodle culture is essential to taste!

Pancakes

Nowadays, pancakes can be found all over the streets. Every morning, the fragrant pancakes are served at roadside stalls, and they are served with a piece of sausage. How wonderful! But in fact, pancakes have already appeared in the Tang Dynasty! According to historical records, people in the Tang Dynasty ate pancakes a lot, and every household could make them. People in the Tang Dynasty regarded pancakes as a seasonal delicacy. Pancakes are also a favorite food among children. Staple foods are sold in stores in Tang Dynasty, including pancakes.

But so far there are no documents describing the making of pancakes in Tang Dynasty in detail. Maybe we can only find some flavor from the existing pancakes

Wonton

I believe many people have tasted Fujian wontons. The juicy meat filling, thin skin and delicious soup are so delicious! Wonton was the most common stuffed pasta in the Tang Dynasty. There are many records in the Tang Dynasty about the making of wontons. "Food and Medicine Xinjian" records a kind of pheasant meat wonton. The method is as follows: use a pheasant, make stuffing as usual, soak the dough to make wonton, and cook it. At that time, the well-made wontons became a famous food praised by people.

Of course, every dynasty has its own unique cuisine. The 5,000 years of cultural accumulation of Chinese culture have created our very different styles of cuisine!
