When it comes to Taiyuan, the capital city, people don't think that breakfast is just noodles, do they? In fact, the breakfast in Taiyuan is also a very local food, but I think it is the authentic local food that is not easy to eat in Taiyuan, so the breakfast in Taiyuan also has several local characteristics. For example, Xiaobian will tell you next.
first of all, of course, the brain. A brain-based breakfast can be served with a hat box (a crisp round hollow cake) and steamed dumplings (different from Cantonese cuisine and steamed dumplings in Inner Mongolia, later). The most famous are the old-fashioned Muslim restaurants such as Qingheyuan and Jianyili, and the queues are much older. However, there is a trend that some emerging young-oriented restaurants are also beginning to sell with brains. No matter what kind of store sells brains, it will be accompanied by pickled leeks and yellow rice wine. Although pickled leeks don't cost money, the quality also affects the taste (of course, I have seen some old people who drink brains and don't eat pickled leeks). Besides, steamed dumplings, as mentioned above, steamed dumplings in Taiyuan is different from other regions, and it is usually filled with mutton. Whether there is much oil juice is one of the criteria for identifying delicious steamed dumplings, which is generally available in brain shops. Generally, the price of a single bowl of brains is around 15-25RMB, and that of steamed dumplings is around 6RMB (the adult male eats 1.5 RMB). As for the recommended stores, please search on the map yourself (the same below): Qingheyuan (old brand, small quantity, expensive and authentic), Renyili (old brand, fair price, good steamed dumplings) and so on.
then there is mutton soup. Most northern provinces have the habit of eating mutton soup, and they have seen mutton soup in most provinces. However, the mutton soup in Shanxi has a unique taste, with Huairen mutton soup, Quwo mutton soup, Taiyuan mutton soup and Huguan mutton soup as the main representatives, and their eating methods are also slightly different. Taiyuan mutton soup is mainly divided into mutton soup and mutton offal soup, generally supplemented by shortbread and twist. There are mutton (miscellaneous), vermicelli, chopped green onion and coriander in the soup, and white pepper, pepper and mature vinegar can be added according to your own preferences. The soup is boiled bone soup. Please pay attention to it when eating. The soup should not be too clear and not too white for fear of illegal additives (this is to be verified, but everyone should pay attention). The price of mutton soup is generally 11-15RMB, and the cake twist is 1RMB. Mutton soup shops are the most in Taiyuan, and you can eat them in the morning and noon. Recommended stores: Hao Gang mutton soup (old brand, authentic), Hao Qiangqiang mutton soup, Drum Tower mutton soup, etc., and some small mutton soup shops also have good taste.
let's talk about meatball soup. The market of meatball soup is more chaotic than others. As far as I know, there was only one breakfast stall named "Nanxiaoqiang meatball soup" at first, which was very delicious, and then it was "copied", so now it is everywhere. The original boss didn't register to protect his brand, and then went to court or something, and then the original boss registered "Yuannan Xiaowang meatball soup". The meatball soup in Taiyuan is usually eaten with scallion pancakes, and the soup is also bone soup. However, when eating, we should also pay attention to the fact that the soup should not be too clear and not too white for fear of illegal additives. There are meatballs in meatball soup (but don't think there is too much meat, the price is there), fried tofu, etc. You can add chopped green onion and coriander yourself. Scallion pancakes are no different from other places. The price of meatball soup is generally 5-11RMB, and pancakes are very cheap. This snack is basically street stalls.
Let's talk about another breakfast stall, tofu brain. Taiyuan, like most of the north, is salty, with fried dough sticks, scallion pancakes, oil cakes and fried steamed bread. Tofu brain is no different from other places. I think the halogen is the best. It is thickened with ingredients such as vermicelli, kelp and soybeans, plus spices such as pepper and chives. The price is 2-3RMB for a bowl and 1.5-1RMB for fried dough sticks and oil cakes. Street stall.
let's talk about noodles with gravy. This is one of the symbols of Taiyuan, the capital of pasta, with a variety of noodles. The main feature of Taiyuan is noodles with gravy. Most of the noodles are handmade noodles, and the halogen is much more unique than other places. It's hard to describe. Try it yourself. The price is about 7-11RMB. Some of them are street-side breakfast stalls, as well as some restaurants and restaurants. Here, we recommend some cheap, friendly, delicious and authentic ones: taxi noodle restaurant, noodles with gravy in South Central, etc.
