In addition to the above, there are three kinds of "smelly dishes" in Ningbo area, which are also very famous. These three kinds of stinky dishes smell worse than stinky tofu, but they taste very fragrant and are very appetizing. They are called "Three Stinky Dishes in Ningbo" and are traditional delicacies in Ningbo. Generally, elderly people love them! But nowadays, young people eat them less and less! People who taste them for the first time are usually frightened by their taste and dare not try.
As long as you have eaten one of the three "smelly dishes" in Ningbo, I sincerely respect you as a man. (Of course, except for people who are used to eating this kind of food in Ningbo! Haha). Next, let me introduce these three stinky dishes to you!
People in Ningbo like taro very much. They can cook it, make it into braised taro, and make all kinds of snacks. Not only taro can be eaten, but also taro poles can be eaten, especially the fatter taro poles. Take fresh taro poles, cut them into small strips, and put them in stinky water for fermentation. This stinky taro is ready.
When eating, put the stinky taro in the pot and steam it, and then you can eat it. Steamed stinky taro tastes soft and sticky, smells stinky, but it tastes very fragrant in the mouth, which can be said to be a very delicious "cooking artifact". However, people who eat it for the first time often smell it and are afraid to get off chopsticks!
The moldy amaranth stalk is made of amaranth stalks that grow thick in autumn. After the leaves are removed, it is cleaned and cut into small pieces, put in an urn and added with stinky water, and often fermented for a period of time. The practice is similar to that of stinky taro.
Pickled moldy amaranth sticks are green in color. When eating, they are also steamed in a pot. When eating, pick up a chopstick and gently suck it with your mouth. The jelly-like pulp in the moldy amaranth sticks is sucked into your mouth, and the taste is tender and smooth. When eating it, it tastes particularly fragrant, just smells a little smelly.
There is also a very special way to eat moldy amaranth poles, which is steamed with Youchou tofu. This dish is called "Steamed Double Stinky", which smells stronger and tastes more fragrant! But when I ate it for the first time, I couldn't stand its taste and didn't dare to eat chopsticks. I don't know if you have eaten this kind of food. What was it like to eat it for the first time?
The pickled stinky wax gourd is translucent in color and looks very delicious in a jar. When you see it, many people will be attracted by its face value, but when you open the jar, a bad smell will come at you, and the taste is better than the smell of stinky tofu! If you haven't eaten them, you must think that this is a spoiled wax gourd!
But although it smells bad, it tastes delicious! People who are used to eating smelly wax gourd love it very much! When eating stinky wax gourd, put a chopstick in the mouth, and the smell of a mouthful will ripple in your mouth. Even if I have no appetite, I will be opened and can eat a bowl of rice more than usual!
People who love it love it so much that people who hate it cover their noses when they see it!
These three stinky dishes in Ningbo smell stinky and eat fragrant. Besides smelling bad and eating fragrant, they also have the advantage that after fermentation, the ingredients are rich in amino acids, which is very beneficial to people's health.
However, when eating these three stinky dishes, we must pay attention to the curing time. If you only soak in stinky water for a few days, don't eat it. If the pickling time is not enough, the nitrite will be high. If you eat too much, you will get food poisoning. Be sure to marinate it for enough time before eating it! After 20 days of pickling, the nitrite will become low.
Which of the three stinky dishes in Ningbo have you eaten? Welcome everyone to exchange and discuss together!
