Sometimes the more distinct the style and characteristics of a food, the smaller its audience may be.

When talking about such Henan delicacies, the first thing I can think of is spicy soup. Although I am not from Henan, I also like spicy soup, but few of my friends and colleagues like it as much as me.

This bite.

I remember when I first drank spicy soup, the first impression I took was "What is this?", but after a few seconds, when I sipped the taste, the impression changed to "This thing is interesting."

Ah!", and then I became a little obsessed with this strong peppery spicy flavor.

Until now, if I see a hot and spicy soup shop when I go out, I will try it for breakfast. Especially if I drank wine the night before, a bowl of hot and spicy soup will really wake up my appetite the next day.

god.

However, I found that when I went to eat spicy soup, most of the people in the store were Henanese who were away from home. There seemed to be fewer non-Henanese like me.

I have also tried to take friends to eat there, but they generally said that the peppery taste is too strong and they are not very accepting. There is nothing I can do about it. Complaining about the strong peppery taste of Hu spicy soup is similar to complaining about boiled fish with too much pepper.

That's the difference in taste.

It is normal for this special delicacy to have a smaller audience. In fact, even in many places in Henan, Hu spicy soup is roughly divided into two schools: Xiaoyao Town and Beiwudu.

These two styles also have different audiences, so the flavors that locals like are different, and it is not surprising that people from other provinces are not used to it.

However, I think those who are trying it for the first time can consider adding a little tofu curd in it, which will make it much softer and have a bean aroma.

I wonder if you like spicy soup?

Is there any kind of delicacy in your hometown that is similar to this? People in your hometown like it very much, but people outside are not used to it?

The coordinates are Xuchang.

For rice porridge, take half a bowl of flour, add water, and stir evenly to form a thin batter.

Boil water. After the water boils, pour the batter in. After pouring in, stir constantly in the middle to prevent the pot from sticking. Cook until it turns yellow and it is ready.

I haven't seen it elsewhere, and people from other places are generally not used to it, but it tastes pretty good.

Spicy spicy soup and fried buns are a must-have for breakfast. A classmate of mine from Xinjiang drank the spicy spicy soup with chopsticks. He scooped out the thick soup and ate it. He drank the soup at the end, but usually the soup would run out at the end.

Climbing the fork, cockroaches After the beginning of spring, spring returns to the earth.

Cockroaches will fly when the weather gets warmer.

Take a flashlight and go out to look for them. Sometimes they are odd numbers, sometimes they are even numbers. If you are lucky, you will meet a bunch of them.

Go home and stir-fry it, roll it into steamed buns, it's so fragrant.

After the cockroaches have passed, there will be crawling forks, cicada larvae.

After eating, you can see a steady stream of people going to catch climbing forks. Sometimes there are more people than climbing forks.

Usually after it rains, all climbing forks come out.

Steamed buns, vegetable steamed buns. Steamed buns are probably only found in Henan. I have never seen them since I came to other places. The key is that the rolling pin for making steamed buns cannot be bought in other places.

Braised Noodles: Henan specialty, thin noodles, steamed twice.

Steam until medium-cooked for the first time. Vegetable soup must be included for stir-frying. Mix noodles and steam until cooked through.

It is rarely available outside the city because fresh thin noodles are almost impossible to buy.

Attached is a Henan-style rolling pin.

Use this rolling pin to roll out dumpling wrappers. The dumpling wrappers will automatically rotate. My husband thought it was magical when he saw it for the first time.

I am from Shangqiu. We often have pimple soup in the morning, grasshoppers and sophora japonica in the summer, elm money in the spring, and our favorite iron helmet sesame seed cakes.

1. Pimple soup, half a bowl of water, pour in an appropriate amount of flour, and stir evenly. Our family is used to eating more chewy lumps, so we always make the batter thicker. Use chopsticks to pick up the dough and then drop it into the bowl.

When the water in the pot boils, put the dough in the pot and stir it continuously with chopsticks. A bowl of delicious pimple soup is ready!

2. Crawling grasshoppers. Looking for crawling grasshoppers is an interesting thing in our childhood. It seems that only people in Henan eat this. My brother-in-law is from Northeast China and he won’t eat it. He says it’s a worm. Every time he finds a grasshopper on the dining table, she will eat it.

Sit at the farthest place from the grasshopper to eat. The method of climbing the grasshopper is also very simple.

Soak it in salt water for half an hour, put it in a pan with 80% hot oil, and fry it for eight minutes. Add some salt and cumin, and it will be delicious.

3. Sophora japonica and Yuqian'er. Speaking of these two, I really drool. Whenever it is the season to eat Sophora japonica and Yuqian'er, I either steam them in the morning or make them into pot stickers or steamed buns. They are delicious.
