When it comes to Shaanxi cuisine, Chinese hamburger, rice noodles and mutton bread in soup must be blurted out. In fact, the food in Shaanxi is far more than that. Come and feast your eyes on it with the wind and fungi!

Shaanxi is divided into three large areas, namely, northern Shaanxi with high loess slope, Guanzhong in Qinchuan with 8 miles and southern Shaanxi in Qinba Mountain. These three distinct natural landscapes have created a rich and colorful staple food ecology in Shaanxi.

Northern Shaanxi, located on the Loess Plateau, has a dry climate; Here, millet, buckwheat, potatoes and other miscellaneous grains are the dominant foods.

northern Shaanxi, Shanxi Shuozhou and other places, where the land is barren and unsuitable for growing wheat, have had the habit of eating buckwheat since ancient times. This kind of grain originated in Central Asia is very popular in northern Shaanxi because of its rich nutrition and convenient eating. With Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou and Daoxiao Noodles in Shanxi, buckwheat noodles have been twisted and twisted for more than 6 years. The buckwheat noodles with thin black stripes, tough and smooth tendons can be eaten with hot mutton soup in winter and cold noodles in summer.

compared with northern Shaanxi, there is more precipitation and higher temperature in Guanzhong area, and wheat is planted in a large area in the whole plain area.

a large bowl with a flat end and a big die face is the comfort of Guanzhong people. Starting from the noodles with minced meat in Guanxi Mansion, we ate them all the way, including dipped noodles, oil-sprinkled noodles, Biangbiang noodles and serous noodles ... I don't want to introduce them here, but I want to talk about another kind of noodles made of corn-corn noodles.

The corn flour dumpling is the most common food in Shaanxi. Add the corn flour into the boiling water in the pot and stir it with a rolling pin or a big iron spoon until it is even and sticky. A pot of stir-ups, golden and attractive, is nicknamed "Colonel Huang". You can add mashed garlic water or leeks in syrup. After the soup is added, it is also called "Water Besieged City".

compared with the sticky and solid dough, the noodle fish has brought the delicacy and flexibility of corn flour to the extreme. Mix wheat flour with corn flour to make a paste, put it in a boiling pot, boil it into a paste, and drop it into cold water with a colander, and it will drop into a nail-sized powder ball like a tadpole or a small fish. If you are lazy when eating, you can swallow it directly. There is nothing wrong with it. Just move your mouth and throat. If you like to chew slowly, just chew it two or three times, because it is too soft and slippery.

Anyone who has studied geography knows that the Qinling Mountains are the dividing line between dry land and paddy fields in China, and the Qinling Mountains are separated from Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi. Naturally, people in southern Shaanxi prefer to eat rice, but they are also from Shaanxi, and they also have their own unique "pasta".

Hanzhong's "hot noodle" is actually made of rice, which is ground into rice pulp, steamed into thin skin, oiled and cut into strips. General store side dishes will put bean sprouts and kohlrabi, skim a spoonful of chili pepper, and put a little garlic according to personal taste, which is very soft and delicious to eat. In Fengxian County, which is close to Hanzhong, the administrative division is Guanzhong, but south of Qinling Mountains, it is mostly eaten every morning, with a bowl of Hanzhong-specific vegetable tofu soup, and seven out of ten people will eat it this way.

The food in Shaanxi is as heroic and beautiful as the divisions in Shaanxi, with beautiful scenery and food. Don't say I didn't tell you when you go to Shaanxi next time!
