I've been craving Baoding donkey meat for a long time. This time I went to Baoding and went to an old shop-Sujiajinbing. Taste, indeed as expected glad you came. Baoding donkey meat fire is a famous Han snack in Baoding, Hebei Province, which is on a par with Baoding Sanbao (iron ball of Wang Blacksmith, Baoding noodle sauce, Baoding spring is not old). That is, the cooked donkey meat is put into the fire to eat, the taste of the fire is crisp, the donkey meat is fat but not greasy, and the aftertaste is mellow. Donkey meat is burned as a kind of pasta, usually made of dead flour (note: the dead flour is unfermented flour, the fermented flour is called live flour, and the similar thing made of live flour is called "sesame cake"). After it is cooked in a pancake pan, it is baked in a stove to make it tender outside and unique. Split it with a knife while it is hot and add hot cooked donkey meat, which is the most authentic way to eat. In addition, the braised pork with broth and starch is put into the fire to accompany the food, among which the braised pork in Dingzhou area in the south of Baoding is the most delicious and famous. In particular, Sujiajinbing is different from the traditional fire. The fire baked with a unique formula is golden in color, so it is called jinbing. Tenderness on the outside, crispy and delicious. And the good donkey meat is used, and the taste is excellent. I ate three in a row, and I advertised in the store that the fire of donkey meat in Baoding was said to have originated in the early Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di rose up and rebelled, and went to Caohe, xushui county, Baoding Prefecture, where he was defeated. The prince was so hungry that he was going to die. The soldier had an idea that he should follow the example of the ancients and kill horses to eat. In fact, the so-called "donkey meat is fragrant, horse meat stinks, and you don't eat mule meat when you are killed". Horse meat is thicker and not particularly delicious. But hungry, I cooked the horse meat and ate it with a local fire. I didn't know it tasted good. So later, the local people also began to kill horses for "horse meat fire", and horse meat fire was famous because it had been eaten by the emperor. But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long, because horses were needed to fight the Mongols. Kyle here is not a dead horse that is cooked and eaten by fire, but a living war horse. Horses have become strategic materials, and of course they cannot be cooked and eaten by ordinary people. But what if you want to eat horse meat and burn it? So there was a substitute-donkey meat. Donkey meat fiber is more delicate than horse meat, and it is pure, thin and not fat. It has been a good dish since ancient times. Moreover, Baoding area belongs to the central Hebei plain, with rich aquatic plants and is most suitable for raising donkeys. There are two kinds of donkeys in Hebei, one is the Bohai donkey along the coast, and the other is the Taihang donkey in the mountains and plains. Donkeys in Baoding are generally Taihang donkeys, while another kind of donkey fire-Hejian donkey fire is Bohai donkey. Comparatively speaking, Taihang donkey is more delicious than Bohai donkey. So under all kinds of international meetings, donkey meat fire was born. Only then did I know that donkey meat fire had such a source.
