When I'm hungry after watching a drama, I just want to explore whether the food worth 51 yuan at the Flower Moon Banquet is delicious. How is it done? I don't know if you still remember that there was such a dish in the Flower Moon Banquet: Xishi Tongue. Now let's talk about what Xi Shi's tongue is.

in fact, Xi Shi tongue was a luxury seafood ingredient in ancient times when traffic was inconvenient. But not any shellfish can be called Xi Shi tongue. Xi Shi Tongue is neither a scallop nor a common small clam.

There are usually two kinds of shells that can be called Xishi Tongue. One kind is a kind of MacClam, which is commonly called "red egg" in Chaoshan and "Guifei clam" in Hong Kong. Its shell surface is light purple. The other is the double-line ziyun clam with brown skin and oval strip, which is commonly known as "Yuegu" in Chaoshan.

as early as the song dynasty, Xi Shi's tongue has been regarded as a very rare delicacy by scholars. Until the Qing dynasty, Xi Shi's tongue was even more recommended as a sacred product in the sea. Even Li Yu, a gourmet, said in "Casual Send" that the most delicious seafood is Xi Shi Tongue and Jiang Yaozhu in Fujian. Although everyone wants to eat it, not everyone can afford it.

Xi Shi's tongue is eaten in the same way in ancient and modern times. The usual way is to blanch it until it is half-cooked, and then add the prepared soup to make the shell meat more cooked.

There is also skill in making the tongue of Xi Shi. When opening the shell, you should not let its own juice run off, but use the juice together. The soup base for making Xishi Tongue is made of fresh chicken soup which has been clarified many times, and finally, the white shellfish meat floats in the soup, so that the look and feel can be clear and crystal clear, and the taste is fresh and smooth, which is both beautiful and delicious. It not only satisfies the visual enjoyment of the taster, but also satisfies the taste enjoyment of the taster.

Up to now, a "chicken soup with mussels" in Fujian cuisine is still made with Xishi Tongue, and it is also a famous dish in state banquets. It can be said that Xishi Tongue is one of the most expensive three dishes in the twelve dishes of Meng Hua Lu Hua Yue Banquet.

The above is the relevant explanation of Xi Shi's tongue lump.
