Spring rolls

Spring rolls, also known as spring cakes and pancakes, are popular traditional snacks in Fuzhou with a long history. It is said that there was a scholar in Fuzhou during the Song Dynasty. In order to study for exams, he buried himself in studying all day and often forgot to eat and sleep. It was useless for his wife to persuade him again and again, so she thought of a way: grinding rice into pancakes, filling them with vegetable meat, and wrapping them into rolls to serve as both rice and vegetables. This snack was later named Spring Roll and gradually became popular in urban and rural areas. Fuzhou people often eat it during the Spring Festival, which is as common as jiaozi in the north. Cai Xiang once wrote a poem praising: "Thinking about three or nine things when eating food in spring".

Now, the skin of spring rolls has been changed to flour, and the stuffing is generally bean sprouts, leeks, dried bean curd, and some of them are added with shredded pork, shredded bamboo shoots, chopped green onion, etc. The more advanced spring rolls are made of shredded chicken or oyster, shrimp, mushrooms, leeks, etc. Spring rolls are fried with low fire until golden brown, crisp outside and internal combustion, also known as "fried spring". There are many delicious snacks in Quanzhou, so don't miss them if you visit Quanzhou. Here is a brief introduction to the good places to taste these snacks. First of all, the food street in Quanzhou brings together delicious snacks from all over Quanzhou, but the really good taste of some snacks may not be tasted here. If the schedule is too tight, you might as well have a good time in the food court. If you have enough time, you may as well try the following places.

1. Noodle paste: Guozi Noodle paste in Quanzhou Food Street is recognized as a good taste. When Quanzhou people eat batter, they often order a fried dough stick to break off and mix it in the batter, which has a unique taste.

2. Beef soup: Beef soup includes Dongxing Beef Store in Tin Street, Haochengcai Beef Store in Tumen Street (sauerkraut and steak are delicious, but beef is not good), and the beef soup from Dongjie Meat Brown Store in Dongjie Street is also good.

3. Frozen bamboo shoots: Frozen bamboo shoots are a famous snack in Anhai, Quanzhou. In many small lanes on Zhongshan Street, some elderly people set up stalls to buy frozen bamboo shoots, which are chilled and delicious. At the same time, the stall also sells pickled dried radish or pickled carambola-both of which are good things for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.

4. Ginger Duck: On Chongfu Road near Dongjie Street, there is a ginger duck shop on the road from Hongmei New Village to Chongfu Temple. Although the store is small, the business is booming. Naturally, the reason is that ginger duck tastes authentic. There are ginger hens and ginger ducks in the shop, but I suggest you choose ducks.

There are also two special snack shops in Quanzhou in the food street: one is pickled noodles in Nan 'an, and the other is white duck soup in Yongchun Shigu.
