Bazhong, a small city located in the northeast of Sichuan, is the most popular among local people. Awkward? The city, so the license plate numbers are all? Y? Compared with other cities in Sichuan in terms of GDP, it is generally a loss. But there is one thing that Bazhong will not necessarily lose, and that is food, which has the unique flavor of Bazhong.

Today, let's take stock of the special food of Bazhong, a little-known small city.

1. Sesame cake

There are several kinds of food in Bazhong, all of which are dry food, and one of them is sesame cake. This is a kind of dry food, which is made of flour, sesame, rapeseed oil and other ingredients through fermentation and baking. There are two flavors when it is made, one is sweet sesame cake, and the other is salt and pepper sesame cake.

This sesame cake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's delicious and full. There are many different ways for local people to eat this kind of cake, which can be fried and fried with meat, and other vegetables and vermicelli can be wrapped in sesame cakes to make other different foods. This kind of collocation is like a journey of food exploration, and every collocation can have different surprises.

2. Sugar-extracted sesame cake

This kind of golden-colored, slightly fragrant and crisp pasta is a delicious food that many people can fall in love with as soon as they eat it. It is a delicious food made of malt, dried tangerine peel, flour, sesame seeds, etc., which has the functions of strengthening the stomach and promoting digestion. The most important thing is that in today's era when additives are flying around, such handmade and pure natural handmade food can be preserved so well, probably only in Bazhong, a place with simple folk customs.

3. Crispy meat

Actually, crispy meat is not unique to Bazhong, but it is really the best crispy meat I have ever eaten. It usually appears at the banquet of Bazhong people. They are made of local pork, local glutinous rice and local free-range eggs. It is delicious, tender and crisp. Although it has been fried, it is a delicious food that you won't feel bored after eating more. Locals will also cook some small dregs left in the fried crispy meat into the live soup, so they don't have to worry about being greasy at the banquet.

4. tremella lotus seed soup

if you go to Bazhong without buying Tongjiang tremella and eating Tongjiang tremella soup, you really went to Bazhong for nothing. Tongjiang, as the hometown of tremella in China, produces tremella which is soft, waxy, tender, delicate and delicious. The tremella lotus seed soup made from it also has the functions of clearing away heat, strengthening stomach, protecting liver, detoxifying, lowering blood pressure and promoting sleep. Say, can you miss it?

5. stewed chicken noodles in Bazhong

stewed chicken noodles in clear soup can be eaten in many small noodle shops in Bazhong, and it is a wonderful food in a region with heavy taste like Sichuan. Stewed chicken noodles originated in the Qing Dynasty, which should be 4-5 years ago. It is a soup base made of big bones, stewed with local chicken, and then matched with special round noodles, which is delicious and nourishing. If you want to eat noodles in the morning and don't want to be too greasy, then have a bowl of stewed chicken noodles.

6. Twist

This is also a famous snack in Bazhong. Their twist is a little different from the tight twist from other places. It is a big one, and it tastes crisp, especially the salty twist, which is slightly salty, with a touch of clear oil flavor. When put in your mouth, all the flavors diffuse and you can enjoy it. If you eat at a string of stalls on the roadside, remember to buy a handful of twist and let the store put it in the soup pot to cook, which may be more delicious.

I heard that Bazhong was a remote place in ancient times, and it was often a place where prisoners and nobles were exiled. For example, Li Xian, the son of Wu Zetian, was once exiled here. Therefore, many people in Bazhong came here after a long journey, and most of them ate this kind of dry food on the way, which is why there are so many cakes and dry food.

Bazhong is also a place that relies on mountains to eat and water to eat. Snacks from all over the country represent the characteristics of each place. I don't believe we can take a walk.
