Talking and laughing, it is not difficult to know that there are two great foodies in history, the first is Emperor Qianlong, and the second is Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi, as a big eater, likes to taste delicious food from all over the world, but there is one food that many people can't think of. What is this dish?

To talk about the favorite food of Empress Dowager Cixi, we must first talk about one person, that is, Yu Deling, the empress dowager cixi. This woman once recorded in the book that Empress Dowager Cixi lived all her life just to eat. According to historical records, Empress Dowager Cixi especially likes to eat folk snacks, and she also set up a western dining room for cooking.

Empress Dowager Cixi's favorite foods are four kinds of fried shrimps, kidney flowers and fish fillets. In addition to these, Empress Dowager Cixi especially likes to eat Shao Shao and bean sprouts. She also specially collected chefs who can cook these dishes from all over the country and sent them to her own small kitchen to be chefs.

during empress dowager cixi's reign, according to the rules, there must be 1 bowls of two meals a day, and it is not allowed to be repeated; There must also be 2 bowls between meals. It can be said that eating is quite wasteful and extravagant, and many dishes are completely served, either eaten by maids and eunuchs, or all dumped. But there is a dish that Empress Dowager Cixi loves most, and it is definitely unexpected.

the name of this dish is clear soup and tiger Dan. The ingredient is the testicles of the Siberian tiger, and the practice is quite complicated. First, you should stew this raw material in chicken soup and cook it slowly for about three hours, then take it out and peel it, and then soak it again. Then cut it into very thin slices with a knife and dip it in the sauce.
