Tieling Beef Hot Ladle originated in the Tieling area. It is said that its inventor was an old Hui named Yang Fu. Tieling Beef Hot Ladle, a specialty snack with local characteristics, is cheap and often sold with mutton soup. To this day, the production of Tieling's halal Muslim beef hotpot is still purely handmade. Although there are fire spoons in other places, the appearance of the fire spoons in Tieling is very different, and the taste of the ingredients is also very different.

Tieling Muslim Fire Spoon is characterized by golden color, clear layers, crisp but not broken, oily but not greasy, crispy and delicious, large filling and thin skin. The size is 5 cm in diameter and 1 cm in thickness.

The authentic Tieling beef hot spoon is a halal specialty snack, so it is often found in some halal Muslim beef hot spoon restaurants. It is difficult for the Hanmin Fire Ladle made in other places to compare with the Halal Tieling Beef Fire Ladle. On the surface it looks similar to pie, but the texture is different.

Tieling fire spoons are mostly made by blasting in an oven. A large iron plate like a drawer is placed flat in the oven. There is an inch-high edge on the outside of the iron plate. Soybean oil is brushed on the flat plate. Place a fire spoon neatly on top, heat and bake over coal or gas fire below, brush oil on the top with the fire spoon, and turn over to bake, so that the outside of the fire spoon is crispy and the inside is tender.

The skin of Tieling Fire Spoon is crispy. The reason why the skin is crispy is because a special raw material "butter pastry" is kneaded into the noodles. If soybean oil is used instead of mutton oil, it will be difficult to taste crispy.

There are many classic beef hot spoon places in Tieling: the most recommended are Dingji Beef Hot Spoon Shop (Halal), Yi Yi Huo Huo Spoon Shop (halal), Golden Turtle Crispy Hot Spoon Shop, Shuji The Fire Spoon Shop, Crispy Fire Spoon Shop (Halal), etc., and the He Sang Kee Fire Spoon Shop chain store have been opened in recent years, and customers often queue up.

To distinguish between halal and ordinary fire spoon shops, you need to look at the plaque outside. If it is a blue plaque, it belongs to the halal Muslims; if it is a red plaque, it belongs to the Han people; if it is a white plaque, you have to ask the store long.

Tieling Beef Hot Ladle is freshly made and sold, and customers can eat it in the store. It tastes delicious. There is no refrigeration or vacuum packaging, and the taste is no longer crispy when taken home and steamed.
