Historic, classic and delicious well-known snacks in Tianjin.

And not to mention the civilization of the country's eighteen and street twist or dog indifferent buns. Today we will talk about the ordinary pancake fruit here.

Tianjin people in the lower tip of the Nine Rivers love to eat, I'm afraid it is not so difficult to understand things. For all its "wei zhou zi" (卫嘴子), Tianjin's food is indeed different from that of other cities, and even the morning meal at the beginning of the day has its own distinctive flavor.

Pancake fruit is the most famous, restaurants are not eaten in the restaurant, the only way to a push a cart of vendors to taste the people with a strong taste of the culture of the people's snacks.

The surface of the pancake must not be white flour, with white flour spread out the pancake not only viscous in the mouth, but also will have a faint sour flavor. The flour must be mung bean flour, the purer the better. Some vendors simply move the small stone mill with the green flowers to the side of the cart and grind it while making the pancakes, which makes the diners' mouths water. The fruits (fritters or crisps) rolled inside the pancake must be freshly fried on the same day and are crispy and burnt. And the scallions must be finely chopped and sprinkled on top of the pancake.

Scoop a spoonful of noodles onto the stove, crack an egg, quickly spread it out, sprinkle it with scallions, quickly flip the pancake over, then put in the fritters or crisps, smear them with soy sauce, hot sauce, and sprinkle them with some pretzels and sesame seeds in turn, and the strong aroma of the noodles and the egg will have stimulated the diners' intestines and stomachs to gurgle. Taking a bite, the green bean noodles are smooth, the fruit is crunchy and fragrant, as well as the richness of the sauce and the tantalizing sesame seeds, the good mood of the day has already started from the early morning.
