Mutton finger food is the facade of Ningxia specialty dishes. The seemingly ordinary mutton block needs to be boiled with onion, ginger and pepper to remove the fishy smell. Pay attention to the heat when cooking to make the mutton soft and chewy. After the pot is cut into pieces, reddish brown is the most energetic state. Grab a sheep bone and dip the minced garlic in vinegar. Bite it down, and the vinegar spilled from the soft mutton turns around between the lips and teeth, fragrant and tender!
You don't even need to order rice after eating mutton, just have a mutton glutinous rice enema. The skin of the enema is thin and bright, and diced meat, diced carrots and fragrant rice grains are wrapped in it, which is fresh and full.
Mutton offal is one of the specialties of Wuzhong in Ningxia, which contains sheep lungs and various internal organs of sheep. Sheep lung is a white strip of noodles, which is made by putting noodles in sheep lung. Sheep entrails with sheep lungs, topped with hot soup, served with chopped green onion and coriander, are delicious!
A bowl of entrails of sheep with lungs and an oil cake are a perfect match (girls only need a small portion of entrails of sheep and small oil cake).
The crust on the outside of the oil cake is crisp, and the flour cake inside is soft and sweet. Take a bite, it feels like a crispy thousand-layer cake, and it tastes even more beautiful with salty mutton chop suey soup. The prickly heat is slightly sweet, crisp and delicious.
Sheep's hoof is my favorite food after I left Ningxia. Many foreigners can't accept it because they are afraid of the smell of sheep. But if you soak the sheep's hoof in a special hot and sour soup, sprinkle chopped green onion, minced garlic and diced pepper on it, and add hot air, the sheep's hoof will not smell so bad. Soft skin wrapped in chewy hamstrings smells like vinegar and makes people want to eat.
The local eight-treasure rice in Ningxia is different from the sweet noodle sauce eight-treasure rice in the south. It tastes sour, sweet and fragrant.
The most special thing is that people in Ningxia say to drink morning tea with mutton offal or Lamian Noodles. After eating the fragrant and thick mutton soup noodles and drinking a cup of thick morning tea to refresh yourself, you will be very energetic all day!
In addition to the common red dates and tea leaves, there are roses, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Lycium barbarum and sesame seeds in the morning tea, which are flushed with hot water and have a fragrant smell. If you like sweet, you can add a rock sugar. The rock candy in this shop is very big and yellow, and tastes as sweet as honey.
The special hot pot in Ningxia is ceramic pot. The hot air of the soup floated up along the Xiangyun pattern, making the colors of fresh meat and vegetables more vivid and making people's index fingers move. In this way, the mutton slices, sheep tail slices and cuttlefish slices cooked in ceramic pot are tender and melt in the mouth.
The dipping sauce in the hot pot is self-help and you can taste it yourself. Tender mutton and fresh vegetables dipped in sauce really make people full and dissatisfied! Drinks are also self-help. You can try Xixia beer, soft drinks and walnut dew.
If you are not satisfied with the hot pot, you can also order a plate of leek pot stickers and mutton skewers. Cumin and sesame seeds are wrapped in big and tender mutton slices, which are delicious in your mouth!
Only Ningxia Wuzhong's assorted casserole with mutton splint. Soft dough with tender mutton stuffing, fried first and cooked later, has oily flavor. A casserole and a bowl of rice are a perfect match!
Fried dumplings are a newly discovered food when I returned to Ningxia this summer vacation. Hot and sour soup is very appetizing. The fried dough is very slippery. You can eat it along the hot and sour soup without chewing.
The food hidden in the street makes the wanderer miss his hometown. No matter how far they go to talk about food, all vagrants will proudly announce how delicious and attractive the food in their hometown is. I remember a poem: "My love for my hometown is like honey on the tip of a needle!" The food in hometown is something that people will miss no matter how far they go, because food is our most intuitive feeling of homesickness.
