Nanjing specialty snacks

Carefully put it out, put it in a vinegar bowl, aim at it and suck it, and the delicious soup will enter your stomach. But don't worry, or it will burn, and then enjoy the contents slowly. Therefore, Nanjing people eat steamed buns and have a ballad, "Move gently, lift slowly, open the window first, then drink soup".

The first bite will leak the juice; If you bite hard, the juice will spray; Bite too small and not too hidden!

6. Assorted Tofu Waterlogging: Tofu Waterlogging is also called Tofu Brain and Tofu Flower, and it is also called "Neither is old" in Nanjing dialect. This snack is found all over the country, but the tofu waterlogging in Nanjing is not the same as that in other places, except that it is as white as jade. In addition to its fragrance and refreshing taste, Nanjing tofu waterlogging pays attention to one seasoning, supplemented by more than ten kinds of seasonings such as shrimp, mustard tuber, fungus, chopped green onion, spicy oil and sesame oil. It is not only beautiful in color, but also mellow, strong, fragrant, fresh, salty and appropriate, moderately spicy and full of flavor.

7. Zhuangyuandou/spiced egg: Zhuangyuandou is one of the special snacks in Nanjing Confucius Temple. According to legend, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Qin Dashi, a poor scholar who lived in the alley next to Jinsha well in the south of the city, studied until late at night every day because of his poor family. His mother cooked the beans with red rice and red dates, packed the beans in a small bowl, and gave him a red date to eat, and encouraged him to study hard and win the top prize in the future. Later, Qin Dashi won the top prize, and the story spread, and Zhuangyuandou became famous. . Some vendors took advantage of the students' psychology to sell Zhuangyuan beans near the Gongyuan of the Father-Son Temple, saying with a lining that "eating Zhuangyuan beans makes you a champion". Zhuangyuan bean is actually spiced bean. Like spiced egg, spiced bean tastes fragrant, salty, sweet and tender, and tastes interesting. Because it is cooked to taste, it is generally rosewood-colored, elastic and fragrant, so people can't stop eating it.

8. salted duck/duck head: you can't go to Nanjing without eating salted duck. Nanjing is so fond of ducks that some people even say that Nanjing people had a grudge against ducks in their predecessors. Whether this rumor is based or not, Nanjing is called "Duck Capital" but it is a real name. Salted duck is a famous specialty in Nanjing, which has a long reputation. It is said that it has a history of more than 1 years. Nanjing salted duck skin is white and tender, fat but not greasy, fresh and delicious, with the characteristics of fragrance, crispness and tenderness. The salted duck around the Mid-Autumn Festival has the best color and taste every year, because the duck is made in the blooming season of osmanthus, so it is called "Sweet-scented osmanthus duck". "White Door Recipe" records: "In August in Jinling, salted duck was the most famous, and everyone thought there was osmanthus fragrance in the meat." It seems to have become a secular etiquette in Nanjing for visitors from home to go to the streets to chop a bowl of salted duck on holidays or weekdays. It is also because they eat too much duck that Nanjing people turn waste into treasure and make duck head into a delicious snack. Duck head, whether braised in soy sauce, soaked in soy sauce, or salted water, is delicious on earth. Buy three or five duck heads and a bottle of beer. Taste it carefully and chew it slowly. That's comfortable ... < P > 9. Steamed dumplings: Steamed dumplings are actually found all over the country, but Nanjing's steamed dumplings are unique. They are not only beautiful in shape, but also famous for their fresh taste. A little greasy oil can't achieve a refreshing effect. The stuffing of mushroom steamed dumplings is made of fresh pork and mushrooms, and with delicious mushroom juice, the meat is tender and juicy after steaming in a steamer, and a strong fresh breath permeates the mouth with a gentle breath.

1. Cake dumplings are small: Jiangnan people are sweet, so traditional cake dumplings are still very popular in Nanjing. Nanjing people pay attention to sweetness but not evil, and glutinous but not sticky when eating sweets, which is called the best dessert. In addition, it's not enough to taste good, and the shape and color are outstanding. Therefore, most of Nanjing's cakes are exquisite and small, colorful, sweet and soft, and full of fragrance. A pot of good green tea will be the best taste!

In fact, there are many snacks in Nanjing, such as glutinous rice lotus root, sweet-scented osmanthus sweet potato seedlings, spiced quail eggs, plum blossom cakes, steamed cakes, beef vermicelli soup and fried screws ...
