One, wheat cake

This thing is considered Linhai's home snacks, wheat cake looks like ordinary pancakes, but often difficult to do well, the key is in the softness and hardness of the flour, that is close to the batter but not the extent of the batter, not a bit of effort is not good at mastering. Grab a ball of flour, wrap it in meat, roll it into a pancake, fry it in a pan, then use chopsticks to make a hole in the pancake, pour in the beaten egg, close the hole, flip it over and fry it again. Here we see and the noodles of the kung fu, too soft, can not pick up, or it will become a noodle lumps fried minced meat; too hard, can not go back, waiting to eat the mouth of the pancake it. At the same time, the surface should be strong, the skin can be made very thin, coupled with the egg inside, the texture of the whole cake is smooth and crisp, green onion flavor.

Two, egg white sheep tail

Egg white sheep tail is on the "Chinese recipe" of the authentic Linhai dishes, some big restaurants in Shanghai can also be eaten, is one of the few on the stage Linhai flavor snacks.

Egg white lamb's tail is best eaten in winter, around the Spring Festival, the street is common. You can do it yourself, as long as you are not afraid of trouble and a little strength. Take the egg white, hard hitting, into a snowflake, to be able to "stand chopsticks do not fall", this is a strength work. This kind of egg white is used to cook directly, called a pot of snow, which used to be very popular and sold well. There are also those who add starch to the egg whites to make them faster, which is a way for street vendors to save effort at the expense of taste. Take the bean paste balls, wrapped in this "snowflake", into the frying pan, to three tender yellow out of the pan, fried into the size of a fist, the shape of a sheep's tail, hence the name. After serving, sprinkle some sugar on them and they are delicious, so tender that you can't bear to put them down.

The impatient people not only can't eat hot tofu, egg white sheep's tail also can't eat, egg white sheep's tail just on the table, a man can't wait to swallow, the result is hot a mouth full of bubbles and can't spit it out, no mouth, ah!

Three, ginger juice

Foreigners to Linhai, always curious about the bottle of yellow liquid in the market. That's not what you think of as juice, that's freshly squeezed ginger juice. Ginger, sex pungent, warm, sweating to relieve the table, warm stomach detoxification, have the effect of cold, so according to the custom is the winter solstice should be eaten. Ginger juice can be how to eat it, do not pinch the nose up to the neck a grunt drink down ah? That unless you want to burn through the stomach. First ginger juice slightly add water to boil, skim off the foam, add minced meat, egg paste, yellow wine, brown sugar, walnuts natural better, steamed under water. Resistant to the spicy ginger juice, eat a sweat, the cold is dispersed, this winter will be no disease and no disaster over.

Additionally, Linhai also has an ancestral rule: women to do the month (sitting in the moon) to eat ginger. This is reasonable, "Materia Medica" ginger article: a long time to serve to remove the odor, through the gods. Return to the five viscera, in addition to wind evil cold and heat, cold headache and nasal congestion, against the upper gas. Vomiting, phlegm, go down the gas, go to the water full of gas. This ginger is a good medicine for the body, so this custom continues to this day.

Four, wheat fat

Name is a little strange, is the transliteration of the Linhai words, the street are so written, I really can not find any suitable word to replace. But it also has a name, called "food cake barrel", Tiantai people are so called, quite image, is a variety of dishes with a thin cake rolled into a barrel. This thing is estimated to be early when the people ate during the harvest, eat more things, so take a cake rolled to eat, and save chopsticks chopsticks to the mouth to plug false gentleman, sweeping the world can not do, roll it a table or convenient Well. So, theoretically, what is rolled inside is not important, there is no rule. Usually, bean noodles (i.e., soybean flour made of vermicelli, Linhai people like to eat), bean sprouts, white boiled meat, dried tofu is indispensable, the other should be selected, the more the better, fried into the dish, as little as seven or eight pots, more than ten, as long as the package down. The more dishes, the better the taste, chowder is so, the dish must be fried light, otherwise the whole is salty, if you add one or two small seafood, the flavor is on a higher level. Pie crust is batter smeared out on the pan, large buckle gong thin buckle paper, so cooked skin roll cooked vegetables, rolled on the delicious. You can also fry it to eat, to brown both sides, crispy, and at this point, it's like an oversized spring roll.

Eating time, arm thick wheat grease shall be held in both hands, do wolf swallowing, eating extremely lousy, there is a "green shell" (Linhai words, that is, robbers) phase. More jokes about the outsiders, I do not know how to eat, the dish will be clamped to the cake on the left to look at the right to look at the front to think after thinking about it, finally made up his mind, pick up the four corners of the cake, lifted above his head, to the cake stomach is a mouthful of it, then the face of the opening of a grocery store, vegetables, meat, eggs and noodles, but also full of oil flower face. So in the end, wheat fat is still not on the hall of fame. But the wheat fat is really counted on the Linhai iconic snacks.

Though it is a snack, but in the summer and the ancient calendar off is as a holiday staple, a large family around a large table dishes wrapped in wheat grease, laughter, can not lively? The first day of the New Year does not move the knife does not move the fire, fill the stomach of the non-wheat grease Moco.

Five, soup

Linhai people say soup, is a special reference, is the Lantern Festival to eat soup, and such as silver ear soup lotus seed soup and so on are to add the definite article, single a soup word, is the Lantern Festival soup. Linhai people do not eat dumplings at Lantern Festival, to eat soup, and Lantern Festival is not in the fifteenth over, in fourteen, is unique. There is a history: the Linhai nationality scholar Qin Minglei, to do high officials, his mother believes in Buddhism, every first fifteen to eat fasting. Qin Minglei is a filial son, can not bear the mother empty festivals, so the Lantern Festival in Linhai ahead of the fourteen, Mid-Autumn Festival pushed to sixteen, the mother was able to celebrate the festival. Do soup Linhai people call "stir" soup, very image, a pile of raw materials stirred into a pot of soup, usually mustard leaves, asparagus, * minced meat, oil bubble, dried tofu, Sichuan bean board, bean noodles, mushrooms, fungus, razor clams and other small seafood, cooked and added to the mountains of flour, stirring and stirring and seasoning out of the pot. Often, the family will make a big pot of this dish, which is enough to feed the whole family for several meals. On the evening of the fifteenth, a vegetarian soup is eaten, which is called a sweet soup in contrast to the savory soup of the fourteenth.

I have a small stomach, but when I eat the soup, I eat a few big bowls of it, and the flavor is unmatched. The soup is home-made good, put material, there will be more seafood, material more, mixed and good, the taste is not bad. Outside to buy to be a little less.

Six, horseshoe cakes and sheep's feet feet

hundreds of years of history of horseshoe cakes, long and not like a horseshoe, is a piece of the same size as a moon cake cake, but the cake surface has a circle of protruding diagonal wave pattern, made of shortening, eaten fluffy sweet, even if the moisture, still have a special flavor. There is a special oven for the production of horseshoe 酥. Traditional techniques are also needed. Now it is not very common to see.

Sheep's feet hooves are not really made of sheep's feet, but also a kind of pasta, but it is more similar to sheep's feet. The fermented sweet flour is made into a sheep's foot shape that is round, flat on the bottom and divided into four petals on the top, and sesame seeds are sprinkled on the top and baked to make it sweet, crunchy, and deliciously fragrant.

Eat the above two snacks, you must have good teeth and good appetite, otherwise ......

seven, the fire cake

Linhai's fire cake is different from elsewhere, and even more so from the fire cake sold by Wudalang. The cake is as big as a coaster, and there are two kinds of cakes: salted and sweet, the salted one is wrapped with crushed *meat and scallions; the sweet one is wrapped with sugar. The surface is made of * oil and wheat flour mixed together and kneaded, wrapped and sprinkled with white sesame into the bakery furnace with white charcoal baked and sent crispy and delicious. Linhai Chengguan to Baita Qiaotou fire biscuits do the best.

There are also brown sugar and moss cabbage stuffed with fire crackers, the face of the pinch flowers, Ziyun Street, Anle days on the side of a store specializing in the sale of such fire crackers, a white-haired old man opened, I was often patronized by his store in the early hours, 50 cents of the fire crackers to me on the way home to add a lot of joy.

Eight, cakes

Like the fire crackers, Linhai's cakes are not the same as Shandong's scallion cakes, and Shanghai's cakes and doughnuts are not even close. Linhai's big cake is wrapped in mold and dried vegetables meat filling, the filling of the dough rolled into a cake, smeared on both sides of the water, pasted to the big cake oven wall baked for a few minutes can be. This kind of cake stove in the streets of Linhai can be found everywhere, the taste is good, there is a piece of and 50 cents of the two kinds, a piece of five inches big, 50 cents of three inches, in the past there is also a 50 cents of the meat inside the meat with the fat, the taste is not bad, and now we all want to eat a healthy diet, the fat meat filling of the cake is basically out of the picture. When you buy, the owner will ask if you want green onions, pepper, chili powder in the filling, as your taste. The big cake stand is Linhai people's McDonald's, there are children who are late for school, too late to eat, close to find a big cake stand, grab two cakes on the go, with a few mouthfuls of mineral water, dashed to the school gate, a lunch is also resolved finished.

Something similar was seen in Hangzhou, but Hangzhou's cakes are thin and filled with less, a world away from Linhai's.

This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing in the world.

Nine, green dumplings

The green dumplings are not unique to Linhai, many places in the south have them, and the green dumplings are almost a symbol of the Qingming Festival in the hearts of southerners. But Linhai's green dumplings also has a unique feature, that is, the green dumplings of the color must be used is a wild vegetable called "green", while Suzhou and Hangzhou and other places, often with the juice of green vegetables, young loofah leaf juice color. Green" is also said to be called "weasel grass", because of this "green", Linhai's green dumplings have a special flavor that is different from green dumplings in other places.

In Linhai, whenever the Qingming Festival is approaching, families often go out for a trip to the fields, and when they get to the fields, they will look for the "green" with small round leaves and a little bit of hair on the ridges, and then return home with a full load of money after a round of playing outside. At home, they boil the green leaves and pound the juice, and mix it with glutinous rice flour, and the color of the dough becomes green and appetizing. There are two kinds of ingredients: sweet ones are bean paste and salty ones are wrapped with diced dried tofu, bamboo shoots, meat, and pickled vegetables, etc. In order to separate the sweet and salty dumplings, the sweet ones are often wrapped in a round shape while the salty ones are wrapped in the shape of big dumplings. The wrapped dumplings are steamed on a drawer underneath a mat of fresh kozo leaves, and accompanied by a flurry of rain at the time of the Qingming Festival, the dumplings come out of the cage in a foggy atmosphere in every household.

The green dumplings are indispensable for the ancestors, and after the ancestors have been sacrificed, they naturally become the best staple food for picnics. Hot green dumplings are delicious, but cold green dumplings also have a special flavor. Accompanied by the light mourning, Linhai people in the green dumplings in the aftertaste of the year after year through the Qingming.

Ten, fried rice candy

When I was a child, every year, the happiest thing for children is to look at the master of the fried rice candy to sell a block of steaming hot fried rice candy cut open, cut into small pieces, loaded into the adult's pockets, and so on the fried rice candy is cold, can not wait to pull out and eat, biting into the mouth of the crunch crunch crunch crunch, New Year's Eve atmosphere in the sweet smell of the fried rice candy so began.

In the old days, fried rice candy was a must-have New Year's candy and the most important snack for guests. In the past, when preparing for New Year's Eve, we often brought our own fried rice, sesame seeds, peanuts, sugar drinks, and firewood to the processing center to process the fried rice candy, sesame seeds candy, peanut candy, etc. After the New Year, we ate the leftover fried rice candy, sesame seeds candy, peanut candy, etc., which was the most important candy in the world. After the New Year, eat the rest of the fried rice candy damp, no longer delicious, when that boiling water bubble open, when the breakfast is eaten, is also a good choice.

But in recent years, the standard of living is increasingly improved, the New Year's market is greatly enriched, fried rice candy is no longer the main candy, New Year's Roots Linhai people are only symbolic to buy some fried rice candy, but fried rice candy masters have always been persistent year after year to let the fragrance of fried rice candy floated all over the streets and alleys of Linhai.

Eleven, bean noodles fried sandworms

Sandworms, also known as sand drill, here is the transliteration of the Linhai language, I really can not find its scientific name. The sandworm is a mollusk on the beach, white, usually spread in the mud on the beach, like a flower in general, a wind, will be drilled into the hole under the body to go, inexperienced people are very difficult to catch. The ones you buy on the market are as big as your fist, a soft mass with a tightly wound tail, but cooked sandworms are often only as thick as a finger. In my opinion, sandworms are an absolute delicacy, no matter stewed meat or roasted soup, they can leave an unforgettable aftertaste. In some places, sea centipedes are called sandworms, and sea centipedes are also an extremely tasty seafood, but not the same kind of thing I'm talking about.

Bean noodles are noodles made from potato flour, green translucent powder dry, Linhai people love to eat "bean noodles", as the name implies, is added to the bean noodles, minced meat, oil bubble cooked crumbled, gulp gulp drink, is also a classic snack in Linhai. But I prefer to talk about this bean noodles fried sandworms - the general Linhai people do not necessarily know the snacks, this is popular in the countryside by the sea in Linhai, a snack, the practice is very simple, take the sandworms cleaned and fried with bean noodles, fried good, sandworms stomach flavor rich paste evenly wrapped in the bean noodles on top of the people far away from the smell of salivation! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

Twelve, wheat shrimp

Wheat shrimp is one of the Linhai famous snacks, in Hangzhou I have seen hanging "Linhai wheat shrimp" sign of the restaurant. In Linhai, the evening about a few friends to the White Pagoda Bridge to eat a bowl of wheat shrimp as a late-night snack, look at the crowd, listen to talk, no doubt it is a cozy thing.

In fact, the wheat shrimp does not seem to be Linhai native snacks, in my very young when I ate in Cangnan, Wenzhou wheat shrimp, when Linhai is not such a thing, as for the wheat shrimp store on the street, it is also a few years ago.

Wheat shrimp is actually a noodle, wheat flour paste to the extent that the insertion of chopsticks do not fall, and then use a kitchen knife along the edge of the bowl to scrape the paste knife by knife into the boiling beef soup, add the ingredients after cooking, into a bowl of beef wheat shrimp with a strong flavor. It is called "Mai Shrimp" because of the shrimp-like shape of the noodle. Recently, there are also new ways to make stir-fried wheat shrimp, which is naturally very flavorful.

Thirteen, Bayshore Ocean tofu, Bayshore Ocean dog meat

Even if the Linhai people eat in their own restaurant, there is no shortage of point a Bayshore Ocean tofu, the reason why I like the Bayshore Ocean tofu, is because Bayshore Ocean tofu is made with traditional techniques, real brine point into, eat up quite nostalgic flavor. It makes the taste buds of the city people who are used to eating flavorless boxed inner fat tofu for a while, so I suggest that people who come to play in Linhai try Baishuiyang tofu, a bowl of white boiled tofu with no spices is enough to make you remember the taste of Linhai.

Bai Shui Yang also famous food is dog meat, as the saying goes, "dog meat rolled three rolls, the gods can not stand", but Bai Shui Yang's classic dog meat practice is not this kind of braised dog meat casserole, but the white cut dog meat, dog meat in the burning to half-cooked, remove the oil soup, so the dog meat is not oily and not greasy, the only tantalizing aroma. In the fall and winter, under the dog meat hall, cut half a catty of white cut dog meat, dipped in fine salt, on the white wine, the taste of pure meat flavor, quite a feeling of luxury. Of course, the practice of dog meat is more than just a white cut, to eat a dog feast white water Yang masters are also at hand, and now even more processed and packaged up dog products, a gift box of dog meat, dog paws, dog whips are all available, can not eat completely can walk.

Fourteen, mochi

Fried mochi is Linhai people love a snack, many fathers and mothers to eat hot fried mochi as a pleasure. Do mochi first steamed powder, steamed and poured into the pounding mortar pounding, pounding is a work of strength, and is responsible for turning the powder dough in addition to the strength of the technology must be first-class, to the hot dozens of pounds of powder dough over and over again is not a simple matter, the village is responsible for the work of this job is the village of the work of the hands. The mochi sold in the world is a piece of cake, fried mochi shopkeeper will ask you before frying a few tael, then you have to weigh their stomach, if you have a good appetite and are not afraid to scare people, to a catty is not a problem. Take sliced meat, dried tofu, eggs, scallions fried mochi is naturally delicious and filling, the amount of material, you can also customize according to their own tastes, abundance and frugality of the people.

Of course, it's not just fried mochi, but also deep-fried mochi and sweetened mochi.

There is also a special kind of mochi called ubi mochi. On April 8 of the lunar calendar, which is the "birthday of the cow" in Linhai, the countryside feeds the cow with ubi mochi. Do Wu rice mochi need to use the mountains of Wu rice tree young leaves soaked, soaked out of the water rubbed into the glutinous rice flour, steamed into mochi, rolled into a tube, inside the bread on the good bean paste, the exterior and then rolled on a layer of tender yellow pine pollen. The outside is delicate and smooth, the inside is fragrant, and the color is bright, distinctive flavor. It is said that cows can eat it to replenish their bodies, so that they can plow the fields after replenishing their bodies. Nowadays, I don't know if they still feed the cows with rice patties, but every year when they come out, I buy them and eat them, and they are really delicious.

Fifteen, dried tofu cooking wok

Linhai street often see some small stores or people in front of the house, set a small stove, sitting on top of a not too big and not too small pot, gurgling hot, no doubt, in all likelihood, that is to sell dried tofu cooking wok. The name is very interesting, called the dried tofu cooking wok, in fact, the wok cooking dried tofu, soup is bone broth, will add some soy sauce, all day long cooking, cooking dried tofu are issued a small empty, Linhai people very much love to eat a bowl of after shopping.

Salted rice is a standard home-cooked snack, and if you are invited by the people of Linhai to visit your home, you will be lucky to have salted rice made by your family, but be careful, don't eat too much.
