Peanut soup, fried oysters, batter, Satay Noodles ... If you travel to Xiamen, experienced friends will always remind you that you must eat these snacks. But if you can't find a restaurant with pure skills, you can't taste the real characteristics of Xiamen snacks. The oldest flavor restaurants in Xiamen are "Good Fragrance" and "Wu Zaitian", but it is difficult to book seats because of the crowded customers all day.

In fact, Minnan cuisine, represented by Xiamen, belongs to Fujian cuisine among the eight major cuisines. The dishes are fresh, crisp, and pay attention to soup mixing. They are light in taste and suitable for sweet and sour. Xiamen is a port developed in the last hundred years. In history, Quanzhou cuisine and Zhangzhou cuisine are the main dishes, and Guangdong cuisine and western food are also included. Since the early 197s, a large number of young Xiamen chefs have traveled around the world and absorbed the essence of western cuisine. As a result, Xiamen cuisine has made more explorations and innovations in the main theme of the original Minnan cuisine, and has become a representative of Minnan cuisine.

For example, the traditional dish "Jiali Fish (a kind of seafood abundant in southern Fujian in winter) and Huogong Cabbage" used to cook Jiali fish head and Chinese cabbage with strong fire first, and then simmer them slowly. Now, Jiali fish is wrapped in Chinese cabbage, put into fish bone broth prepared in advance, and then put into a small porcelain cup, and served after being steamed by strong fire, which is more flavor.

Minnan cuisine is famous for its delicacies and light taste, so some people say that it is quite similar to Cantonese cuisine. In fact, Minnan cuisine has its own characteristics in adjusting soup and evaluating taste. It is often seasoned with sugar, vinegar and sauce. Almost every dish will be matched with two or three sauces, so that diners can taste different flavors at one time. It pays attention to the cooking of soup materials, and is characterized by freshness, mellow and meaty fragrance, and has the reputation of "one soup changes ten times".

Spring rolls are a must-have treat for Xiamen people during the Spring Festival. They originated from Quanzhou's traditional food "tender cake dish", which is a dish that everyone sits around and eats by themselves, implying a happy family reunion. This dish is not simple just for stuffing. It contains more than ten kinds of raw materials, such as carrots, cabbage, fresh shrimps, shredded pork, oysters, shredded peas and so on. When eating, first spread the skin of the spring rolls, spread the sweet Chili sauce on them, and then sprinkle with the crispy fried seaweed, "tribute sugar" (peanut cake presented to the emperor in ancient times), floss, coriander and other ingredients in turn, and then clip in more than a dozen kinds of raw materials to shred and cook the clay pot dishes, and wrap them into rolls. How many flavors are there? Sour, sweet, spicy, salty and fresh, there is only one word to eat: fragrant.

Ginger Duck is a popular flavor dish in Xiamen and Taiwan Province. It is made of red-headed muscovy duck, local ginger mother and more than ten kinds of Chinese herbal medicines. Because Muscovy Duck with Red Head has thin skin and red meat, no subcutaneous fat, mellow taste and refreshing taste, it is said that it also has dietotherapy effect of eliminating fat and stagnation. The master said that it takes a long time to cook this dish. The breast of the muscovy duck is very thick, but fortunately it doesn't smell delicious. It will take at least a whole day to marinate it with the soup specially prepared by sorghum wine.

Bitter snail is a unique seafood in southern Fujian. It is small in size and low in price. It tastes like cold melon, but it still can't restrain people's interest in tasting it. This "cold melon in the sea" has a delicious seafood flavor that cold melons don't have. It is refreshing when boiled, sweet when boiled into soup, and has a strange taste.

razor clams are quite common. Fresh meat with big fingers is good for hot pot and stir-frying. But when its shells were covered with flowers and doubled in size, we didn't recognize them. After understanding, I realized that there are two seasons for eating razor clams in Xiamen: "eating razor clams in January and eating old razor clams in July". Little razor clams are not much different from our common ones, while old razor clams have to be kept for two years before eating. The "patterns" on shells are like their annual rings, indicating their qualifications. Because the meat is fat and delicious, you can get its flavor by steaming shredded ginger and chopped green onion. In order not to waste it, the locals will also steam eggs with the remaining soup, which has the same effect as the paving line under the lobster. Old people are cold and cold, and chefs suggest that people with cold stomachs should not eat more.

Frozen bamboo shoots are quite distinctive side dishes in Xiamen. How can bamboo shoots be frozen? This "bamboo shoot" is not the other "bamboo shoot". The bamboo shoot is a kind of soft-bodied animal that grows in the sand on the beach, so it is named because it looks like a "small bamboo shoot". It is rich in gum, which is dissolved in water after boiling, and then becomes frozen after cooling. Its appearance is crystal clear and moist, like white jade, and its taste is crisp and sweet. If it is accompanied by radish acid, coriander spicy sauce or delicious sauce, it will taste more tender and refreshing.

The master said, "This dish is quite effective in reducing fire and diminishing inflammation, and it is a must-have snack for local banquets."

The core of Xiamen cuisine is the four treasures of seafood: crab, shrimp, fish and shellfish, with Minnan flavor as the main body and Taiwan Province and Chaoshan flavor as well. On the basis of Fujian cuisine inheritance, we should learn from the strengths of various cuisines, discard the coarseness and greasy taste, extract fresh and fragrant flavor, and steam, stir-fry, fry, stew, stir-fry and stir-fry with

Those who have won the national gold medals are: dry fried cover, green belt wrapped bag, emerald emperor, Xi Shi Huan Sha, butterfly dragon, dragon boat race, stewed cabbage with fish, yellow-flowered mandarin duck, goose playing Antarctic water and stir-fried fragrant snails.

Vegetarian dishes in Xiamen are traditionally made of bean products into pictographic foods such as chicken, fish, belly and feet. In the early 196s, Master Su Zhai in Nanputuo abandoned the pictographic concept, creatively prepared vegetarian dishes and named vegetarian dishes, and made vegetarian dishes into beautiful and elegant dinners. Eating vegetarian dishes not only adjusted the appetite, but also was an elegant artistic enjoyment. Now, after nearly 4 years' development, especially nearly 2 years' development, Nanputuo vegetarian dish has become a high-class dish in Southeast Asia, which is famous all over the country. It can make hundreds of dishes and can not be repeated for 1 days. It has become a brilliant business card of Xiamen cuisine.

The medicated diet also came into being with the development of the Special Economic Zone. It is no longer the "Angelica Beef" in street stalls, nor is it just the "Four Things Regular Muscovy Duck" for winter food supplement, but the medicated diet with a complete set of recipes. The antique medicinal diet in Lujiang Hotel is excellent in color and fragrance, and the dishes, jars and other utensils are all specially made of purple sand, which is elegant and generous. A medicinal diet is undoubtedly an artistic feast with endless aftertaste.

Mid-Autumn Fair in Minnan culture

Mid-Autumn Fair is a unique folk activity in Xiamen. It is a game used for entertainment during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The participants' prizes are decided by the combination of six dice throwing results. Traditional prizes are moon cakes of different sizes, which are called Hui cakes. According to legend, this game can predict people's luck in the next year.

Gezi opera is mainly in Minnan language mixed with classical Chinese, which allows the public to get in touch with elegant vocabulary or stories of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and has become one of the important entertainment activities in southern Fujian and Taiwan Province society in the early days.

Gaojia Opera

The repertoire sources of Gaojia Opera are complicated, and most of them are absorbed from Muppet Opera, Liyuan Opera, Huizhou Opera, Ge Yang Opera and Peking Opera.

Among them, the number of small egrets and middle egrets is the largest, and they are more common.
