Today I want to talk about the delicious food in Shaoxing, because I was born in Shaoxing, an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River. Shaoxing is not only famous for its many scenic spots,
In addition, its local characteristics have attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists. Shaoxing snacks mainly include Shaoxing old wine, dried vegetables, stinky tofu, fennel beans and so on. Speaking of Shaoxing stinky tofu, I think of Lu Xun's hometown "Wuzifang stinky tofu"
Shop ",I saw pieces of golden shiny, small and exquisite tofu just out of the pot, everyone rushed to buy. Take a box of stinky tofu in your hand and take a gentle bite. Its taste is really different from other stinky tofu. Its appearance
The skin is crispy and the meat is crispy, but the inside is soft and tender, and it smells delicious. Coupled with the tempting and delicious sweet noodle sauce, the taste is too good to say! Incense and stink were originally two opposites, but Shaoxing cuisine was transformed into a biography by it.
uneven
Shaoxing has not only stinky tofu, but also fragrant fennel beans. When it comes to fennel, I think of Kong Yiji, a poor scholar written by Lu Xun.
He often goes to Xianheng Hotel in Zhenkou and spends nine pence to buy a bowl of wine and a plate of fennel beans as drinks. Several children gathered around him and asked him for fennel beans. After he gave one, he covered the plate with his hand and said, "I don't have much, I don't have any."
Too many. "
Fennel bean is named after him, so people simply call it "Kong Yiji Fennel Bean", and Xianheng Hotel is famous for it. As for the practice of fennel beans, dry broad beans are mainly used as raw materials, soaked in water and put into a pot.
After boiling for about 15 minutes, add fennel, cinnamon, salt, etc. Then cook slowly with slow fire until the water in the pot is basically dry. Fennel beans are very chewy, salty and fresh when chewed, with endless aftertaste. It is said that,
Anise beans are very popular with Chinese and foreign tourists, and the daily sales of fennel beans in Xianheng Hotel can reach three or four hundred Jin.
Just then, Kong Yiji suddenly seemed to smell a bouquet. Shaoxing yellow rice wine is also famous. Shaoxing has a history of 2500 years. Shaoxing yellow rice wine is one of Shaoxing's famous specialties and the representative of China yellow rice wine.
It is one of the eight famous wines in China. It is made of clear, bright and clean Jianhu water rich in various minerals through a unique fermentation process. Shaoxing yellow rice wine is famous at home and abroad for its unique flavor and rich nutritional value, and it has been listed.
It is one of the wines used for the state banquet in Zhongnanhai, Beijing. Shaoxing's rich wine culture has brewed a unique local emerging festival, namely Shaoxing Yellow Rice Wine Festival in China. The first Shaoxing Yellow Rice Wine Festival in China was held in 1990, and it has basically been held since then.
Once a year, it continues to this day.
Next, I want to talk about a traditional dish in Shaoxing-braised pork with mushrooms.
Not only Shaoxing people love to eat, but foreigners are also more willing to taste it. It is said that it takes a lot of effort to cook this dish. A generous piece of fat and thin pork belly, with a kitchen knife cut a number of holes shallowly, put it in a pot and stew it with a small fire for about half a day; service
Cut the meat into small cubes, spread fresh dried vegetables and stew for half an hour. Local restaurants in Shaoxing regard this dish as a traditional "home cooking".
