Zhouzhi's special delicacies and snacks include Zhouzhi Steamed Pork, Cuifeng Pastry, Zhouzhi Fermented Rice, Zhouzhi Eight Big Bowls, Heihe Grilled Fish, etc.

1. Zhouzhi Steamed Pork. Steamed Pork can not only be served with steamed buns, but also served with rice. This shows that Zhouzhi people really love it.

The steamed pork is the same, but the combination has changed.

The essence of steamed pork is chili. This chili looks like chili sauce, but it is not.

The buns are not particularly big. They are soft when pinched and have a little toughness after being torn open. They feel like a relatively hard cake, but there is still a lot of meat inside. They look a bit like burgers and have a salty and savory taste.

It’s completely different from the Hui Roujiamo in Xi’an. It’s rich in flavor and super satisfying!

2. Cuifeng Fufu Cuifeng Fufu is a snack in Zhouzhi, Shaanxi Province, with a history of more than 1,300 years.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a girl named Suo from Fufengsuo Village fled to Cuifeng Mountain because of her resistance to marriage, and lived a secluded life of self-reliance.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, went hunting to Cuifeng Mountain. His horse was frightened and lost his way, so he broke into Suogu's residence.

Suo girl treated her with her usual staple food, and Li Shimin was full of praises after eating. Tang Taizong was deeply moved by his thoughts, pardoned Suo Gu and named her "Quanzhen Empress", and issued an order to protect her land.

After Suogu's death, a temple was built to worship her. The temple fair was extended from the Tang Dynasty and has continued to flourish.

After that, Cuifeng Fufou was spread to the palace as a delicacy for royal banquets.

It is also widely spread in the northwest region and has become a delicacy in western my country.

3. Zhouzhi glutinous rice wine is a traditional snack in Shaanxi. Zhouzhi glutinous rice wine is also called glutinous rice wine, glutinous rice wine, rice wine, fermented rice wine, sweet wine, etc.

The various names for glutinous rice indicate that it is a low-alcohol wine spread over a vast area, but nowhere is it really regarded as wine.

Fermented glutinous rice is probably one of the most popular alcoholic drinks. Although it is labeled with the word "jiu" and some people even get drunk, there has never been a ban on alcoholic beverages targeting fermented glutinous rice wine.
