The editor below will introduce how to eat when going to Xingyi.
Regarding Xingyi’s preference for spicy and sour food, visitors to Xingyi for the first time may have the first impression of the local food that Xingyi people like spicy food.
Guizhou's specialty "Laoganma" seems to be invisible here, but hot sauce or spicy noodles are indispensable on the table.
When eating in a restaurant, there must be several small plates of spicy noodles mixed with chopped green onion when served with the main course. Before eating, scoop a spoonful of soup into the vegetable soup, and then put each chopstick dish on a small plate.
Stir it for a while before eating.
Even if you go to eat street food, there will be several large glass jars on the table, filled with hot sauce, spicy oil, or spicy noodles, so that the guests can get what they need and season them to taste.
In fact, Xingyi people prefer to eat acidic food.
Locals say that when eating at the same table, you can easily distinguish who is Buyi and who is Miao.
Buyi people like to eat sour bamboo shoots, which are soaked in white vinegar and used as ingredients for various foods, such as sour bamboo shoots, beef, mutton, fish, etc.
The Miao people prefer to drink all kinds of sour soup food. There is a local saying: If you don't eat sour food for three days, you will be as good as walking.
Recommended food: Mutton Noodles This is the number one delicacy in Xingyi. The ingredients are taken from black goats raised in the forests of Wanfeng. It is said that this kind of goat meat has no smell.
Use cooked rice noodles (similar to the noodles eaten by southerners), add goat meat, or haggis, with fragrant sauce, pickled radish cubes, etc., and then add mutton soup.
A pot of hot mutton noodles will be presented in front of you.
Xingyi City held an event in 2016 where “10,000 people tasted mutton noodles” and won the Shanghai Guinness World Record for this event.
Chicken glutinous rice balls The glutinous rice balls eaten by southerners basically have sweet fillings, but in Xingyi, there is a kind of glutinous rice balls with salty soup and salty fillings.
This "chicken glutinous rice ball", known as one of the four famous snacks in Xingyi, has been passed down from the Qing Dynasty to the present day, with the slogan: everyone is sweet, but I am salty and delicious.
The key to chicken glutinous rice balls being different from other glutinous rice balls is that they are stuffed with chicken, filled with chicken soup, and topped with sesame sauce. Not only are the fillings of the glutinous rice balls delicious, but they also have a unique aroma.
Chongchong cake is one of the few sweet foods in Xingyi cuisine. Because the utensil for steaming the pastry is round, the rice cake is "stamped" by the pressure of steam in the copper pot, so it is named Chongchong cake. The taste is
sweet.
The raw materials of rice flour include glutinous rice, peanuts, sesame, etc. After the pastry is steamed, seasonings such as water chestnut powder, brown sugar, rose sugar, etc. are added, boiled water is added, and it is heated and stirred before consumption. It is said to have a nourishing effect on women, the elderly and children.
The most famous brand is "Zhao Manniang Chongchong Cake", which has been included in Guizhou's specialty snacks. It has also been featured on the variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad".
The brush head also originated during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Its appearance is similar to the "Shaomai" that southerners love to eat, but it is much smaller than the "Shaomai".
A steamed "brush handle head" is slightly larger than a thumb, and its shape is like the head of a bamboo brush handle used by the people, so it is named "brush handle head".
The raw materials for brushing the head are flour as the skin and pork and water-frozen bamboo shoots as the filling.
When making it, the dough is first rolled out on site, then the filling is wrapped in the dough, and then steamed in a basket for about five minutes. When eating, you need to use chicken soup, oil-soaked pepper noodles, soy sauce, chopped green onion, etc. for dipping.
