Every visitor to Beijing walks around with the feeling of reminiscing about history, recalling the past eventful years. Walk into the old hutong in Beijing, taste the delicious food with the flavor of the years and feel the temperature of the city.
Just like the following dishes, they are all classic and delicious in old Beijing. Let's have a look together.
the first type: Beijing bean juice
"bean juice" must be followed by the word "er" to be authentic. You can't go to Beijing without drinking bean juice.
The name Douzhier sounds nothing special, but it is not acceptable to everyone. Southerners can't drink it when they come to Beijing, and even all districts and counties in Hebei are not used to it. Why?
firstly, the bean juice has a strange smell of sour residue; secondly, it is so hot that it can only be sucked and sucked slowly; thirdly, the pickles are so spicy that the tip of the tongue is numb. It's hot and spicy, and I'm sweating all over.
bean juice tastes like stinky tofu. Those who don't like it can't accept it. Those who like it say it tastes sour and fragrant, but there is nothing else!
It is a habit for old Beijingers to drink bean juice, regardless of class and wealth. Eating turnip burritos and drinking bean juice make pickles, which are delicious, leisurely and wonderful.
the second type: Sugar-Coated Berry
How many people's childhood memories are the words "Sugar-Coated Berry Er Yo". When I watched TV as a child, I thought Sugar-Coated Berry in Beijing was the best.
Sugar-Coated Berry is definitely the well-deserved "king of sweets" in Beijing. The fruits are crystal clear, and the attractive juice is shining and surging. When you take a bite, it is crispy and sweet, and you can't help yourself.
the third kind: Beijing roast duck
Modern people call it "roast duck". In Peiping, the authentic name is "roast duck", and colloquially it is also called "roast duck". As everyone knows, Beiping is suffering from drought and is not rich in ducks. It is necessary to transport ducks from Tongzhou and keep it fat by "filling ducks". However, it takes time and material to fill the duck. Later, ordinary restaurants changed to sell roast duck, also known as "barbecued roast duck".
Now Beijing Roast Duck has been improved on the original basis, and Quanjude Roast Duck is the most famous. Ducks roasted with charcoal are ruddy and shiny, with delicate and mellow meat, fat but not greasy, and have a good reputation all over the world.
the fourth kind: snowballing usury
snowballing usury also has a strong flavor of Beijing dialect, an authentic old Beijing snack. The shaped cakes are rolled layer by layer, and the snacks in the middle are rolled in the noodles, just like donkeys rolling in the yellow sand. I have to say that the imagination of old Beijingers is really rich!
there are three main colors of snowball: red, yellow and white. Besides bean paste, there are stuffing such as peanut brown sugar, purple potato and jujube paste, which are soft and sweet, fragrant and fragrant.
Fifth: Old Beijing Zhajiang Noodles
When you arrive in Beijing, you must eat a bowl of delicious old Beijing Zhajiang Noodles to be considered as glad you came. Zhajiang Noodles can be said to be a youthful memory of several generations, and its rich sauce flavor is holding back countless people's taste buds.
The noodles in Zhajiang Noodles, old Beijing, are very strong. Mix them with diced pork and fry sauce. They are delicious.
Old Beijingers eat hot Zhajiang Noodles in winter and water in summer. Zhajiang Noodles is a delicious food on the tip of the tongue that every household can't live without, and it is one of the city cards of old Beijing.
the sixth kind: cooking with halogen
when you go to Beiping and ask the local people, almost no one will know that cooking with halogen will burn with fire. It is a local specialty food in old Beijing, which is so pure that it doesn't need to be decorated with too many words.
Stewed pork lungs and intestines are cooked in one pot, which is simple and fragrant. This makes a dish with noodles, meat and soup, and the main and non-staple foods are all alive, making it easy and eating happily!
such an authentic delicacy is not to be missed when you go to Beijing.
