This is a common food-you can eat them with relish when you roll them with green onions or other vegetables, meat or delicacies. Pu Songling specially wrote "Pancake Fu" for it, which shows his deep affection for pancakes. Why is Shandong pancake the best food? There are many reasons! First, the raw materials of pancakes are finely ground from coarse grains, which are neither pure flour and rice nor pure coarse grains. They are rich in nutrition and easy for people to digest, because the raw materials for making pancakes all have skins and contain a lot of crude fiber, which is very helpful for digestion, and it is a good prescription for the worrying health status of urban residents. Secondly, pancakes are time-saving and worry-free. A thin layer will be cooked in a short time, and after being cold, the heating time is not long, which is especially energy-saving.

Hanzhong rice noodles originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties. According to legend, Liu Bang was king in Hanzhong and ordered Xiao He to build Shanhe Dam, and the grain was harvested year after year. In order to improve their lives, farmers dilute flour with water, steam it into pancakes, cut it into strips and eat it cold. It tastes delicious. One day, Liu Bang went traveling incognito and entered the people's home, and the hospitable farmers entertained him with cold steamed cakes. Liu Bang praised it while eating. When asked about the name, the farmer couldn't say it. Liu Bang laughed at the making method and said casually, "This is steamed cake." Later, people switched to overlapping bamboo cages, which could steam several sheets at a time, and were large and thin. Cut into thin strips, the tendons are flexible, soft and continuous, just like pimps, renamed "dough".
6. Ningbo Tangyuan [Jiangbei District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province]
Tangyuan is one of the famous snacks in Ningbo and one of the representative snacks in China, with a long history. According to legend, glutinous rice balls originated in the Song Dynasty. At that time, a novel food was popular all over the country, that is, all kinds of fruit baits were used as stuffing, and glutinous rice flour was rubbed into balls outside. After cooking, it tasted sweet and delicious and interesting. Because this kind of glutinous rice balls boiled in a pot floats and sinks, it was originally called "Floating Yuanzi", and later it was renamed Yuanxiao in some areas. Different from northerners, Ningbo people have the traditional custom of having a family gathering and having dumplings on the morning of the Spring Festival. When it comes to Ningbo snacks and specialties, everyone will be the first to mention Ningbo glutinous rice balls, especially to foreigners. As for salty crabs and mud snails, they are generally beautiful things for Ningbo people, and their fame is far less than that of Ningbo Tangyuan. Nowadays, Ningbo people talk less about Ningbo dumplings and eat less and less. As for the "news" that Ningbo dumplings are produced by non-Ningbo people, it has long been untouched by Ningbo people. Recently, however, due to the fact that "escort" has done a lot, it has been welcomed and sent a lot. There are many questions about Ningbo Tangyuan, a "specialty" of Ningbo, and it occurred to me that there is any internal relationship between Ningbo Tangyuan and Ningbo people.
7. Lanzhou Beef Lamian Noodles [Chengguan District, Lanzhou, Gansu Province]
Legend has it that Lamian Noodles, a Lanzhou beef, originated in the Tang Dynasty, but it has not been verified.

The so-called soup stock is a jelly that has become aspic when it is cooled when cooking beef. It is extremely delicious, and this soup is the top grade of beef noodles. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty (1799), Ma Liuqi, a Dongxiang nationality, was brought to Lanzhou from Chen Weijing in Qinghua, Huaiqing Prefecture, Henan Province (now Qinghua Town, Bo 'ai, Jiaozuo, Henan Province). Later generations Chen Hesheng, Ma Baozi and others unified the standard of Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles with "one clear (soup), two white (radish), three red (chili pepper), four green (coriander and garlic seedlings) and wuhuang (noodle Huang Liang)". It is also said that Ma Zilu, a native of Lanzhou, came to learn beef Lamian Noodles from his relative Ma Chengde in Hualong County, Qinghai Province and brought it back to Lanzhou. After hundreds of years of innovation and development, Lamian Noodles, a Lanzhou beef, has won the praise of diners at home and around the world because of its rotten meat, fresh soup and fine noodle quality, and has become a business card of Lanzhou. 1999 Lanzhou beef Lamian Noodles was identified by the state as one of the three pilot varieties of Chinese fast food, and was praised as "the first noodle in China". .....

9. Xi 'an Hulatang [Yanta District, Xi 'an, Shaanxi]
If you are born and raised in Xi 'an, nine times out of ten you had chili soup for breakfast this morning. It seems that the term chili soup was accompanied when I can remember eating it. I can't remember when I first ate it. Hu spicy soup, one of the most classic snacks of Shaanxi people, can be said to condense the essence of Shaanxi snacks. Almost in Xi 'an, as long as people live, there will be sticky soup. Walking through the back streets and alleys in the morning, you can smell the smell of broth from the cauldrons everywhere, and hear the master selling sticky soup shouting in the distinctive Shangshan dialect: sticky soup, hot steamed buns, etc., and look at the lines of soup pulled up by wooden spoons. This is the customs of Shaanxi people and the life of Xi 'an people. Boiling spicy soup is the unique skill of Hui people in Xi 'an. It seems that it has not been spread. Almost all the shops selling spicy soup will have halal brands, and often some Hui people's paomo restaurants will make guest appearances to sell spicy soup in the morning. Because the essence of chili soup is soup, you must use good broth, and the pure mutton or beef soup in Paomo Restaurant can just satisfy the picky tastes of gluttons.
