Douzhier is a representative snack of old Beijing. As far as I know, there are two extremes in the evaluation of Douzhier. Those who love it are very fond of it, and those who fall in love can't help themselves. People who don't love it never hesitate to ridicule.

1. Bean juice is a traditional snack in Beijing. To be precise, it is a traditional snack in Nancheng, Beijing, represented by the original Chongwen District and Xuanwu District, that is, the area south of Tiananmen Square and north of the South Second Ring Road.

It has a history of three hundred years. It is a kind of sour, smooth and healthy food invented by the poor in the early years. It is eaten with burnt rings and spicy pickled shreds. Nowadays, many people mistakenly believe that it is loved by Beijingers.

Drinking soy juice is actually not like this. It has been centered in Nancheng since ancient times. The popularity of soy juice in other areas is very small. Nowadays, very few Beijingers like to drink soy juice.

As a person from the suburbs of Beijing, I really don’t like bean juice and I can’t get used to the sour taste.

2. How to make bean juice. Bean juice is made from mung beans, which are ground into soy milk, fermented, and then boiled. It tastes sour, has a thick texture, and is gray-green in color.

When making soybean juice, you need to add raw soybean juice while boiling, and you cannot boil the soybean juice and boil it. You can only boil the soybean juice and let it bubble slightly. If the soybean juice boils and boils, the solids and liquids in the soybean juice will separate, causing unevenness.

The phenomenon.

3. Nutrition and efficacy of soybean juice. Soybean juice contains a lot of nutrients such as protein, amino acids, minerals, etc., and has the effect of cooling and relieving heat. In addition to drinking the soybean juice hot, it can also be eaten raw. The raw food has a better effect of relieving heat, and the sour taste is also lighter.

4. The habit of drinking soy juice. Most people drink soy juice. No matter whether it is hot or cold, they naturally can’t tell why. Moreover, some shops selling soy juice nowadays leave the soy juice there after boiling, and then reheat it when it is cold. Some simply don’t care.

Okay, how can I drink authentic bean juice?

If you drink it cold, you will have a swill taste in your mouth; if you drink it while it is hot, the taste will be different, sweet and sour, sour and astringent, and the taste is unique; then add shredded pickles, burnt rings, sesame cakes, etc., and it will be even more delicious.

Taste it.

Old Beijingers love to drink soybean juice. They may buy raw soybean juice at home and make it themselves, which is usually done in winter. Or they go to temple fairs and street bean juice stalls to drink it, which is usually done in summer.

Nowadays, there are no bean juice vendors on the streets, but they can still be seen occasionally at temple fairs.

Bean juice is hard to find, and authentic bean juice is even harder to find.

This is very painful for those Beijingers who love to drink bean juice. They can only go to a limited number of snack bars to satisfy this taste.

There is a saying in Beijing: "You haven't been to Beijing if you haven't drank bean juice."
