Hangzhou has been called a paradise by the ancients since ancient times. Otherwise, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou under heaven. My family lives in Huzhou near Hangzhou, which is just over an hour's drive away. Therefore, I often go to Hangzhou to play, and my understanding of Hangzhou is by no means less than that of the locals. When it comes to meat dishes in Hangzhou, we have to mention the famous West Lake vinegar fish. We can know the source by looking at the first two words. In the famous dish camp in Hangzhou with bright stars, this fish can be called Hua Dan. Going to Hangzhou without eating vinegar fish from the West Lake feels like a trip for nothing. .

The West Lake is a representative scenic spot in Hangzhou, and the West Lake vinegar fish is also a must-have food for tourists when they come here. The West Lake vinegar fish is usually cooked with grass carp as raw material. There are two cauldrons on the stove, and a pot of "fish". Among many famous fish in China, the West Lake vinegar fish is the only one that doesn't need a drop of oil. In the other pot, add sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and Jiang Mo to the soup of cooked fish for seasoning. The West Lake vinegar fish uses a large amount of vinegar, which is even more indispensable in Jiang Mo. After it is cooked, it is poured with a layer of smooth and shiny sweet and sour. The fish is tender and delicious, with crab flavor, tender and sour, and rich in nutritional value. Now it is served in several famous restaurants in Hangzhou, but it is not common in Hangzhou residents' homes. Now some restaurants have replaced it with perch. I will revisit this dish every time I go to the West Lake now.

Everyone has heard of Dongpo meat, which is a famous dish with traditional characteristics in the south of the Yangtze River. Dongpo meat has similar main ingredients and shapes. The main ingredients are half-fat and half-thin pork, and the finished dishes are neatly packed mahjong pieces, bright red and agate in color. Pick up a piece and taste it, soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy. There is also beggar chicken, which is said to be the iconic food of the Beggars' Sect. Everyone knows this scene in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Hong Qigong swept away the beggar chicken made by Huang Rong, so Huang Rong tricked him into teaching Guo Jing martial arts. The beggar chicken actually wrapped the processed chicken in mud and lotus leaves. The production materials are fresh and tender lotus leaves, yellow mud, live chicken, etc. Its color is bright and bright, fragrant, crispy and tender, crispy and tender at the entrance, and unique in flavor.
