Steamed chicken

Steamed chicken was founded in Jianshui, and is famous at home and abroad for its unique method, tender meat, mellow soup and delicious taste. Was awarded the title of "China Famous Cuisine" and was selected into the menu of state banquet. Steamed chicken is the foundation of Jianshui cuisine and has always been regarded as a family heirloom by Jianshui people. "This kind of smell should only be found in the sky, and a few people on earth can taste it." Jianshui produces a unique ceramic steamer called a steamer, which is specially used for steaming food. The practice of steaming chicken is to put the chicken pieces together with seasoning into a steamer and put them on a soup pot filled with water. The steam will steam the chicken through the steam nozzle in the steamer. Because the soup is condensed by steam, the umami flavor of the chicken is less lost in the steaming process, so the original flavor of the chicken is basically maintained.

Tofu Roasting

Jianshui is a famous tofu roasting resort. Jianshui's tofu was introduced in China on the tip of the tongue. Jianshui tofu has enjoyed a good reputation since the middle and late Qing Dynasty. It is made of the best materials and operated by hand. More uniquely, tofu water comes from Dabanjing, Ximen, Jianshui, and has a good reputation all over Yunnan. Folk song: Lin 'an House cooks tofu (Lin 'an House is Jianshui). Smells bad, tastes good, and Huang Cancan is full and round. Four corners and eight octagons make people think, and three meals don't make them feel flustered. Tofu can be seen everywhere in the streets of Jianshui. A few people sat on a small bench, surrounded by a small brazier with iron grates and tofu baked over an inch. Everyone dipped chopsticks in seasoning and ate with relish.

grass sprouts

grass sprouts, also known as ivory vegetables, are sweet, crisp and fresh, and are unique foods in Jianshui county. Fresh grass buds should be transferred to the bottom of the bucket immediately after the water comes out, and reach the kitchen and dining table in the shortest time, otherwise they will be old. Therefore, this is a delicious food that Jianshui can't take away.

crossing the bridge rice noodles

According to the old man, the ancestors of Jianshui people made rice noodles from the Central Plains to Jianshui, drawing on the grain processing methods of the Central Plains. At that time, there were many restaurants specializing in rice noodles in Jishi Street and Mashi Street outside Jianshui Chaoyang Building. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, rice noodles were eaten in a more unique way. It is said that a juren named Li Jingchun pushed rice noodles to another height. One day, he went from Suolong Bridge outside Dongcheng to a Liuji restaurant near the bridge to eat rice noodles, and asked the store to make a unique rice noodle according to the method of Sichuan hot pot. When the shopkeeper made it according to his method, he asked what to eat, and everyone who came and went said, "I came from the bridge, called crossing the bridge rice noodles." Smart merchants immediately seized this excellent idea and hung up the signboard of crossing the bridge rice noodle. Since then, with the help of merchants from south to north, the rice noodles across the bridge have spread all over Yunnan and become a brand of food culture.
