In Sanmenxia, there is a saying: "Home pigs, home dishes, red, white, green and yellow, full of color and flavor, seven hot and three cold, and a big feast for guests and friends", which describes exactly what we want to talk about today in Henan's hometown-ten bowls of seats in Shaanxi.
In fact, ten bowls of seats are delicious dishes made by using the unique stove of Shanzhou Kengyuan-Chuanshan stove. It can be understood that it is precisely because of the Shanzhou Keng Yard that there is a mountain-piercing stove, and then there is a magical ten-bowl mat. At this point, many friends will be curious, what is a mountain furnace? In fact, the mountain-crossing furnace uses the principle of upward airflow in the pit. Seven cookers can be placed in seven stoves at the same time, and the temperature of the stoves is reduced one by one.
Among them, the first stove has the strongest firepower and is suitable for cooking. As the firepower weakens in turn, it has the functions of frying, frying, stewing, stewing and heat preservation. This kind of furnace makes full use of heat energy, and several pots work at the same time, which has the characteristics of high efficiency.
However, the cooking methods of the most representative special dishes of the Ten Bowl Banquet are different, such as braised pork, pot-stewed pork, spicy tofu, stewed local chicken, stewed vegetables, day lily, kelp silk, bean sprouts, celery, vermicelli, etc., so the cooking requirements are different, and each dish is only placed on a different stove eye.
Ten dishes in ten bowls, seven hot and three cold, just used seven stoves, and then three cold dishes were served in the gap between cooking. Ten dishes were cooked almost at the same time, which is a must.
When ten bowls are served, a light and delicious food has been formed with white flour steamed bread and fried dough sticks, which is a unique food in the north. Coincidentally, until this time, the eagle found that there were just ten people sitting on the table. After eating, ten people were full, and almost all the vegetables and rice on the table were swept away.
During the dinner, a friend who lives in the local area told me a story: "Don't think that ten bowls of seats are a banquet for our country people. In fact, ten bowls of seats have served the emperor. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to xi 'an and passed us by. Local officials arranged ten bowls of banquets. It is said that Cixi was very happy after tasting it and praised: Ten bowls of water mats are perfect. "When you arrive at Sanmenxia, you will see the pit yard and taste ten bowls of seats, and you will be very happy that you have come.
