Beijing's food characteristics include 1. Roast duck is a famous Beijing dish with world reputation. It originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China. Roast duck has been recorded in "Food Treasures" and it was a palace food at that time.

Grilled over charcoal fire with fruit wood, the color is ruddy, the meat is fat but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Among Beijing roast ducks, the roast ducks from Quanjude and Bianyifang are more famous.

Beijing roast duck is divided into two major schools, and the most famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing is the representative of both schools.

It is known as "the world's delicacy" because of its bright red color, tender meat, mellow taste, fat but not greasy.

The roasted duck is cut into small slices with a knife, called "sliced ??duck", served with shredded green onions, cucumbers, sweet noodle sauce, and rolled in pancakes for consumption.

The remaining duck rack after removing the duck meat can be used to make soup.

For someone like me who doesn’t usually like duck meat, roast duck is also my favorite.

2. Old Beijing Sheep and Scorpion Hot Pot Sheep and Scorpion is the sheep beam. Because its shape resembles a scorpion, it is commonly known as Sheep and Scorpion.

Sheep and scorpion are often used in clear soup hot pot, which is delicious.

Sheep and scorpion are low in fat, low in cholesterol, high in protein and rich in calcium.

It is easy to absorb, has the effects of nourishing yin and kidney, nourishing the skin and aphrodisiac.

And you can also eat the bone marrow in this kind of sheep and scorpion. It is delicious and is loved by people from the north and the south. It has so much meat and is affordable. It is a very cost-effective delicacy.

3. Donkey Rolling: Because the soybean noodles sprinkled in the final production process are like the loess thrown up by wild donkeys rolling around in the suburbs of old Beijing, it is named "Donkey Rolling".

The raw materials of "Donkey Rolling" include rhubarb rice noodles, soybean noodles, Chengsha, white sugar, sesame oil, osmanthus, green and red silk and melon kernels.

The outer layer of the prepared "Donkey Rolling" is covered with bean noodles and is golden yellow. The bean-flavored filling is sweet and soft in the mouth. It has a unique flavor. The bean filling melts in your mouth and is sweet to the heart. You can chew the soybean noodles after entering your mouth.

Savor it carefully, it is a traditional snack suitable for all ages.

I remind everyone that you must go to the store to taste fresh food, such as Huguosi Snack Bar.

If you just buy the specialty products you take home in the supermarket, it will ruin its taste.

4. Candied haws on a stick: Candied haws on a bamboo stick, made of mountain red, crab apple, grape, sesame yam, walnut kernel, bean paste, etc., dipped in rock sugar, sweet, crisp and cool.

They can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys of Beijing, and there are a variety of additions and flavors to choose from.

Candied haws on sugar haws has the functions of appetizing, nourishing the skin, increasing intelligence, eliminating fatigue, and clearing away heat.

In Beijing, you can often eat freshly baked candied haws outside the supermarket. Compared with the ones in the south, it is like heaven or earth.

I don’t know if it’s because the south imitates what the north does, but they don’t fully understand it.

5. Old Beijing yogurt. Compared with the yogurt sold in supermarkets, this kind of yogurt has a relatively short shelf life. There are many places where you can return the bottle directly after buying it without charging for the bottle.

The taste is very good, with a light milky aroma and a little sourness. It is very suitable for drinking in summer. However, some friends said that it is not as delicious as they imagined after drinking it. I can only say that no matter how delicious it is, it is just a yogurt, so we still have it.

Do you want to taste the sea cucumber?

It tastes pretty good in yogurt.

6. Aiwowo is explained in the book "Xie Yi" by Li Guangting of the Qing Dynasty.

Because there was an emperor who loved eating this kind of wowo. When he wanted to eat or wanted to eat it, he would say: "I love wowo." Later, this kind of food was introduced to the people, and ordinary people could not and did not dare to say the word "yu".

Later, this kind of food was introduced to the people, and ordinary people could not and did not dare to say the word "imperial", so they omitted the word "imperial" and called it "aiwowo".

The glutinous rice used for the outer shell of Aiwowo has been steamed, and the filling is also fried with peach kernels, melon kernels, sesame seeds and sugar, so it can be eaten after it is made.

Its color is as white as snow, shaped like a ball, soft and waxy like paste, sweet and delicious, and has always been loved by people.

7. Beijing Fried Liver Beijing Fried Liver is a famous traditional snack made from pig intestines, liver, etc.

Because the ingredients were selected more carefully, new seasonings such as MSG and soy sauce were used instead of the original mushroom soup.

Put the prepared water starch into the soup to thicken the soup, then add the cut intestines and pork liver, add more minced garlic when it is out of the pot, and it is ready to eat.

It should be noted that southerners may not be used to it for the first time because of the thickening of the soup, but after trying it a few times, you will definitely change your mind.

8. Twist dumplings Twist dumplings are crispy in texture, sweet and delicious. They are the finest halal snacks in Beijing and are very popular among the people. However, its production is troublesome.

In advance, dissolve the alum, alkali, brown sugar, and sugar-osmanthus in a basin with warm water, then pour in the flour and mix evenly. After mixing, roll into a long strip and plate it up for a while, then cut into small portions of 40 grams each.
