Fuchun Ginger Duck

There is a snack shop called "Fuchun Ginger Duck" on Xinxing Street, Xindian Town, Xiang'an, which is known as "Kinmen Time-honored Brand". I just heard this statement and was a little confused. Generally speaking, a time-honored brand in a certain place is a local store or a store opened in another place. However, "Fuchun Ginger Duck" is not in Kinmen, nor is it a branch of a famous Kinmen store opened in a new store. Why is it called that? According to the interview, this ginger duck restaurant's "main product" ginger duck is very delicious. It is not only famous in Xiang'an and even Xiamen, but also praised by the folks in Kinmen. Many folks from Kinmen come here to visit relatives in Xiang'an and have a great meal here. , thus gaining this reputation.

After eating Fuchun Ginger Duck, I found that it was indeed extraordinary. According to Zhang Tianjiao, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC of Xiang'an District who is well versed in food, the "Fuchun Ginger Duck" shop is named after the owner Lin Fuchun. Lin Fuchun's father, Lin Jiansong, is originally from Fu'an and has been running the Ginger Duck shop snacks for several generations. history of man. Lin Fuchun is a smart man who learned how to cook ginger duck from his father since he was a child. Later, Lin Fuchun married to Hutou Village, Xindian, Xiang'an, and he and her husband Hong Honggong founded the Ginger Duck Restaurant on Xingxing Street, Xindian. Its main snack, ginger duck, is unique from the selection of ingredients to the production: the ginger duck has carefully selected ingredients, choosing "Tuzheng Muscovy Duck" raised by farmers for more than 100 days, "ginger duck" grown locally for many years, with green onions, salt, etc. seasonings, then mixed with clear and sweet ancient well water and simmered for several hours. The braised ginger duck has the original flavor, is fragrant and refreshing, and has the effect of dispelling rheumatism. Coupled with its low price, it is very popular among diners, including Kinmen folks.

The "Fuchun" store also has other delicacies, such as golden hoof meat, mutton pot, etc., which are mouth-watering. It is the winter season, so go to Fuchun Ginger Duck Store to taste delicious food and It is a good choice as it can be used as a supplement.

Sweet potato rice cake

Sweet potato rice cake is the staple food for Xiang'an people to entertain guests. Xiang'an people like sweet potato rice cake so much. In addition to its indescribable beauty, there are also historical and legendary reasons.

It is said that Hong Chaoxuan, a Jinshi of Ming Jiajing, came from a poor family. On the eve of going to Beijing to take the exam, his mother wanted to make a delicious meal to send him off, but there was only a little porridge, sweet potato powder and oysters and amphioxus given by others at home. My mother mixed the sweet potato powder with rice porridge and added water to form a paste, then put it in a pot and baked it into thin sweet potato powder cakes. After it was out of the pot, cut it into strips of vermicelli, and then added oysters and lancet to cook Xiangpiao. The overflowing sweet potato rice cake made Hong Chaoxuan unforgettable.

After Hong Chao was elected as a Jinshi in high school, he went home to visit his relatives. The villagers hosted a banquet with great hospitality, and delicacies were served one after another. When the banquet was about to break up, there was no sign of the sweet potato rice cake. Hong Chaoxuan couldn't help but ask the villagers when this dish would be served. The villagers were baffled. After asking Hong Chaoxuan's mother, Only then did I understand the secret, and then cooked it according to the law, and it was really delicious.

I tried this staple food at Xindian Jianmin Restaurant and found that although the sweet potato rice cake lacks the main ingredient of amphioxus (amphioxus is a nationally protected fish), it still retains its unique flavor. The sweet potato rice cake with canned pork is very smooth and sweet, with perfect color, aroma and taste.

It is understood that Xiang'an Luxiang Restaurant, Qinyuan Restaurant, Dongfang Xinxing Restaurant and other restaurants have this staple food.

Seaweed Pot

Before I went to Xiang’an to interview food, the seaweed I had eaten was basically used for soup. Occasionally, I also ate cold seaweed. The taste was average and nothing special. a feeling of. I heard about making seaweed soup in Xiang'an, and it tastes different from seaweed soup.

There are many seafood along the coast of Xiang'an, one of which is seaweed, which contains high amounts of iodine, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other minerals, as well as rich fat, protein and other nutrients. The soup is already very flavorful when cooked, and it is even better when cooked in a pot. According to local chefs, in addition to the main ingredient of seaweed, oyster sauce, scallops and leeks are added and cooked in a clay pot. It has the crispness and smoothness of seaweed and the sweetness of scallops and leeks.

Such innovative snacks are not the only one in Xiang'an. There are many specialty snacks in Xiang'an, such as Xiangshan oyster balls, Xiangshan field potato balls, boiled shrimp pudding, etc. I believe it will be a worthwhile trip to Xiang'an for a food tour on Sunday. How about it, are you tempted? Heartbeat is not as good as action, action can satisfy your appetite.

The method of boiling shrimps in water is quite clever: put the selected female shrimps into a boiling water pot containing 3% salt and boil them. The ratio of shrimps to water is 1:50. Boil the water within one minute and continue. 2 minutes, then take out the shrimps. When boiling, the heat must be strong.
