1. Kaifeng Soup Dumplings Kaifeng Soup Dumplings are a specialty delicacy in Kaifeng, Henan Province. Thin skin, juicy and delicious are the biggest features of this kind of dumplings. There is a lot of knowledge in making soup dumplings, from kneading the noodles to adjusting the fillings, and the ingredients.

2. Baked carp noodles Kaifeng is close to the Yellow River, and the Yellow River carp is very famous. The baked carp noodles in Henan cuisine are the most famous in Kaifeng's catering industry.

Editor: I have known about baked carp noodles for a long time, but I only saw its true appearance in the movie "1942"!

To be honest, the carp is delicious. Although the noodles are drizzled with sweet and sour sauce, the carp's flavor is not lost. The baked noodles cover the carp like a quilt. The deep-fried dragon's whisker noodles are dipped in the sweet and sour sauce. There are two tastes.

, anyway it’s delicious.

3. Tongzi chicken. Tongzi chicken is a very famous special delicacy in Kaifeng. It is golden in color and full of fragrance. It is named because its belly is empty and becomes a barrel. When it is six ripe, the chicken is salty and fragrant. The chicken skin is crunchy and only carefully carved.

It takes more than 100 knives to chop the bucket chicken!

And every piece of beef is full of tendons, whether it is chicken or beef, dipped in secret chili oil, chewy and full of flavor, the meat is not bad, and it tastes so fragrant.

4. Shuangma Fire Specialty Food Shuangma Fire is a specialty snack in Kaifeng. It is similar to Sichuan and Chongqing Sesame Pancakes and Jiangnan Shaobing, but the method is a bit strange. The flour must be dried first to make a crispy dough, and then rolled into a dough roll with ordinary flour.

The cake is baked on a griddle.

That’s why it’s called Shuangma. It tastes crispy and full of flavor when eaten while it’s hot.

5. Sweet potato puree Sweet potato puree is a specialty snack in Kaifeng, Henan. It is richer because of the many ingredients. It has a crystal-clear color, a soft mouth, and a sweet taste. It is favored by young couples both locally and from other places.

Method for stir-frying sweet potato puree: steam and mash the sweet potatoes, stir-fry the pan with vegetable oil, boil the white sugar into a paste, add the sweet potato puree, add sesame oil, add some water, stir over low heat until it becomes a paste, take it out of the pan and add the mountain red shreds and osmanthus sauce.

6. Peanut cake Peanut cake originated from a pastry in the court of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is a specialty snack in Kaifeng City, Henan Province. Its biggest feature is its "crisp"!

It tastes sweet and sharp, melts in your mouth, is delicate and smooth in the mouth, just the right amount of sweetness, crispy and non-sticky to the teeth, and does not have the grainy texture of coarse sugar. However, it will make you feel greasy if you eat too much, leaving you with endless aftertaste.
