What are the specialties of Chaoshan, Guangdong? What are the specialties of Chaoshan?
Chaoshan specialties are actually a very big topic, because in the three cities of Chaoshan, the specialties are actually different in different places, such as Jieyang specialty ping pong, Chaozhou specialty Bergamot, Chenghai braised lion head goose, Guiyu cake, Chaoyang
Horse crab, Xiashan duck breast, etc. Basically it can be said that each city or even each town and each township is different, and it has a great relationship with its own regional characteristics.
1. Sugared Scallion Pancake Sugared Scallion Pancake, this is an authentic delicacy that has been featured on "A Tip of China".
If it is used as a special snack at the Chinese New Year teahouse, it will definitely be a hit, after all, it is blessed by "Tongue Tip"!
For many people, this may be just a snack, but for the poster, it means full of childhood memories.
Every time I think of the words "candy and scallion pancakes", I think of the way I used to look forward to an old man riding a bicycle every afternoon in the alley when I was a kid. He would shout out "candy scallion pancakes" while riding, and then hope that his mother would buy one for him. It was that simple.
The crispiness and sweetness can actually warm a whole childhood.
2. Xiashan Duck Breast This is also a special delicacy that has been served on Bite of China, and it is also one of the author’s favorite delicacies!
Moreover, duck breast is a semi-dry product, can withstand express delivery, is not easy to perish, and is perfectly suitable for online shopping.
And as a new year’s product, it definitely lives up to its name!
During the Chinese New Year in the Chaoshan area, many families buy chickens, ducks, geese, etc. to worship their ancestors, so duck breast is also ranked first among the New Year’s goods.
3. Chenghai braised lion-head goose. Chenghai lion-head goose is the largest type of domestic geese. The largest record seems to be 36 pounds!
#It’s a bit scary, a child over one year old only weighs 20 pounds# And why is the lion head goose famous? In addition to its huge size, the amazing thing is that its meat is very delicate!
And with the secret recipe of Chaoshan brine, it has become a famous dish in Chaoshan.
Since the breeding place is in Chenghai, we usually buy lion-head geese from Chenghai, and the Chenghai Sunan ancient method is considered more authentic.
Then why write only goose head?
Because the goose head is the most famous.
The forehead sarcoma on the head of the lion-head goose is well developed, protruding forward, and the head is extremely large. The meat is tender and the brain is delicious. Therefore, the head of the lion-head goose is the most precious part of the whole goose.
The bigger the goose, the bigger the head is, but at the same time, the body will be tougher. Generally, the larger the goose head, the older the goose is, and the older the goose is, the tougher the body is. In other words, the body of an oversized goose is not good.
It is therefore worthless to eat, because all the feed money is only used to raise a goose head. Therefore, old goose heads are generally very expensive, and it is normal to have thousands of them.
4. Braised Lion’s Head Foie Gras After talking about braised goose head, we must talk about braised lion’s head foie gras.
If you haven’t heard of braised lion head foie gras, you must have also heard of French foie gras, right?
If China were to compete with French foie gras in one dish, I would choose braised lion head foie gras!
In fact, powdered liver and French foie gras are both cruel methods to a certain extent.
To make foie gras taste pink and tender, the key lies not in cooking, but in feeding, that is, stuffing the goose? In the final stage of feeding the goose, the goose is intubated into the esophagus, constantly stuffed with feed, and finally the liver is fattened (fatty liver?
), if you are interested in the specific method, just search it on Baidu. I won’t go into details here.
Pig head rice dumplings are also a famous local snack in Chenghai, but not many people may know about it online.
The taste is somewhat similar to dried meat, but the ingredients are pig scalp and pork leg meat, and then made with fish sauce, soy sauce, white sugar, various star anise and other marinades.
Different from roasted pork jerky, pig head rice dumplings are made by putting the meat into a mold and then pressing and dehydrating it. Therefore, in the past, they were usually bought in pieces and then taken home and cut by yourself.
Nowadays, they are also cut into individual packages for convenience.
.Everyone has eaten jerky. The pork is marinated, sliced, and baked.
Chaoshan dried meat is also quite famous, and its taste is sweeter than others bought online. In my personal opinion, none of the N celebrity brands of dried meat bought online are as good as local brands.
How to choose local brands?
I usually choose the ones from big manufacturers, and the two brands I eat more often are Zanxiang and Laoshanhe.
Zanxiang is a very famous meat processing factory in Shantou. Generally, many shops or supermarkets you see on the roadside sell their dried meat and floss. The price has been around 20 per pack (half a catty) for N years.
), don’t be fooled, search for it by yourself, and just ask for the production date.
Pork and beef breasts are available in various flavors. The texture is more tender than other kinds of meat and easier to chew.
