The eight bowls in Dingzhou are: sweet meatballs, hairy meatballs, striped meat, square meat, hand-grilled meatballs, small meatballs, braised pork and braised beef.

1. Dingzhou Braised Pork

According to legend, Dingzhou Braised Pork was formed in the Song Dynasty, which was created by Su Dongpo, a writer who used to know Dingzhou. It is delicious because it is made of selected lean pork and sweet potato powder. It is not fat or greasy, and has a strong flavor. After being cut, the meat and starch are red and white, and the taste is fragrant, waxy and smooth. After being heated, it tastes better. It is one of Dingzhou people's favorite foods.

2. Sweet meatballs

Every family in Dingzhou makes sweet meatballs. The sweet meatballs made by kneading dough, stuffing, wrapping meatballs, frying meatballs and distilling meatballs are very delicious and are an indispensable part of the eight bowls in Dingzhou.

3. Hairy meatballs

Hairy meatballs are also one of the eight special dishes in Dingzhou, and many friends from other places are obsessed with the taste and taste of hairy meatballs after eating them.

4 and 5, strip meat and square meat

The reason why these two dishes are put together is because the ingredients used in these two dishes are the same: vegetables with fried tofu at the bottom and steamed pork belly on them. The square meat is cut into four squares, the strip meat is cut into large pieces, and the fat and thin pork belly is placed on it with attractive aroma. The vegetables and tofu full of broth have absorbed enough soup, and the entrance is full of meat flavor. Take a bite of pork belly to relieve your appetite and a bite of tofu to relieve your boredom.

6 and 7. Hand-grilled meatballs and small meatballs

The raw materials and methods of these two dishes are the same. Cook the lean meatballs, put them in a steamer, pour the broth, and sprinkle with chopped green onion. The difference is that the hand-grilled meatballs are made by mixing the meat stuffing, spreading the stuffing flat on the hands with a shovel, and then dividing it into a diamond-shaped block with a shovel, and putting it into the water for cooking, while the small meatballs are squeezed into a circle from the tiger's mouth and cooked in the water.

8. Roasted beef

This dish can best test the chef's level. The beef stew is soft and rotten, and other dishes can't be wrong. The stewed beef is different from other steaming bowls. The stewed beef can be stewed in a separate cauldron with firewood or coal burning underneath, which makes it soft and rotten and delicious.

These are the eight bowls that Dingzhou people must serve at the wedding banquet. Some dishes may be increased or decreased, and some dishes may be replaced. Most of them are steamed bowls. Put all kinds of meat or meatballs at the bottom of the bowl, and put them in the middle with vegetables or tofu. Steam them on the pot for at least one hour. After steaming, take them out and buckle them with bowls of the same size, and turn them over 18 degrees. On the other hand, there will be meat and meatballs.
