The food and snacks in Yichang, Hubei Province are very local and delicious. If you travel to Yichang, I recommend you to try some food and snacks such as Xiakou Tofu, Spicy Shrimp, Peach Blossom Fish with Chicken Mud, Fat Fish and Cold Cake. Come and have a look! 1. the beancurd in Xiakou
Beancurd (also known as bean curd brain) is a unique dish and delicious snack in Xiling Gorge of the Yangtze River. Because of its excellent water quality and fine production, its beancurd is famous for its white and delicate texture, such as milk and fat.
bean curd and bean curd belong to the same family, but there are some differences, that is, bean curd is solidified, while bean curd is semi-solidified liquid. The production process of beancurd is very particular about grinding beancurd into beancurd with a stone mill, peeling it, soaking it in clear water until the beancurd swells and turns white, taking it out, grinding it into fine soybean milk with clear water, filtering the soybean milk with a coarse white cloth bag, taking out bean dregs, pouring the filtered juice into a large iron pot, boiling it with strong fire, chiseling it into a special wooden bucket, wooden basin or ceramic pot, then pouring the cooked gypsum into hot soybean milk with clear water, and mixing it with a wooden ladle for about five times. 2. Spicy shrimp &; Xiang Ji Lu Cai
The feeling in Yichang is still very good. The place is not big. You can walk around the main streets without a map. Restaurants are not on every street, but concentrated on several streets. It is strongly not recommended to eat in the night market next to yanjiang road, because the price is unreasonable and the taste is not delicious. Still have to go to the red star road to eat, the price is cheap and the quantity is sufficient, the key is too delicious. 3. Peach Blossom Fish with Chicken Mud
Peach Blossom color is the essence of this soup, but peach Blossom Fish is not a fish, it is a kind of transparent body of algae. Peach Blossom Fish was born in Yiling Xiakou and Xiangxi River, and it lives and dies with peach blossoms. When peach blossoms are in full bloom, it also appears in the rippling blue waves. I saw that it resembles petals of peach blossoms, some of which are white and flawless, some of which are faded in red makeup, and some of which are milky yellow. It rises and falls with the clear water waves, and it complements the peach blossoms on both sides of Xiangxi River like Danxia, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false. After the peach blossom dies, the peach blossom fish disappears and returns to the mysterious nature. 4. Fat Fish
This is a traditional famous dish. It is made of fat fish (Hui fish) from Huyatan to Nanjinguan and steamed with fat meat. The fish is fresh and tender, the fish soup is fat, and the dishes are light and original, which is well received by Chinese and foreign eaters. On this basis, we also made the country ball fat fish, peony pearl fat fish and other colors. 5. Flavor bacon
Flavor bacon is a Tujia flavor with fresh pork as raw material, combining traditional formula with modern scientific formula, inheriting the ancient Tujia craft, and selecting pine and cypress branches, shavings and charcoal for baking. 6. Radish jiaozi
