This time I traveled to Enshi, Hubei, and I also felt a lot of local food. The friends all lamented that Enshi is not only unique in natural scenery, but also rich in ethnic customs. Even the food is so distinctive that it is worthy of being a tourist treasure.
At that time, I ate a table of Tujia hanging pot banquet in Enshi Tujia style restaurant, which was Tujia hot pot.
Selenium-enriched small potatoes, corn Baba, Tujia dregs and Tujia bacon ... have strong Enshi characteristics.
I watched a wonderful performance and ate dinner at the Ba Ren Tang in Enshi Daughter City, and I also felt the boldness of throwing a bowl of wine.
Drink in a big bowl and break the bowl bravely. Enshi must try to break that bowl of wine. Drinking a bowl of wine and eating a table of Tujia cuisine is an experience you can't miss.
A bowl of wine in Barentang is one yuan a bowl. Super decompression after drinking.
Even at noon that day, in the canyon-style restaurant in daughter village, Enshi Grand Canyon, a table of local dishes was excellent, and there was no food that trampled on thunder at all.
However, the trip to Enshi, let me not forget, or Enshi Lichuan a table of private kitchens, Miao's yard.
Lichuan City is the largest and most populous county-level city in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. Seeing the shocking Tenglong Cave, one of the world's super caves, that day opened our eyes.
This is the restaurant where local friends in Lichuan took us. On the first floor of a residential area, the storefront is so ordinary. The decoration of the restaurant is also very simple, but a table of dishes is amazing enough.
The most distinctive dish is the bean curd with fragrant leek and rice, which is a unique food of Miao's small courtyard private restaurant. Delicious. Delicious.
We also watched the making process of fragrant rice bean curd with leek with great interest. The main ingredients are Enshi local leek, peasant rice tofu and handmade minced meat.
This is the first time I've heard of rice tofu. It is made by washing and soaking rice, adding water to grind it into rice slurry, adding alkali to boil it, and cooling it into a block of "tofu", which has the effects of softening blood vessels, losing weight, expelling toxin, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
I have to say that the potatoes in Enshi are really delicious, no matter what you cook, they are delicious.
After investigation, it turns out that Enshi potato is a specialty of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province, a geographical indication of agricultural products in China, and a product of chinese national geography.
Enshi is very suitable for potato growth conditions. There are many ways to eat small potatoes in Enshi, which are important food crops for local people. There is an old saying: "I panic if I don't eat potatoes for three days."
Enshi locals seem to like to eat water shield very much. I always thought that water shield was only eaten by Suzhou and Hangzhou.
This cold water shield is very refreshing.
Water shield, also called water chestnut, has the following functions:
First, the water shield contains a lot of zinc, which can be absorbed by the human body when it enters the body, which can effectively prevent ADHD in children.
The second kind, containing a lot of dietary fiber, can play a role in relaxing bowels and preventing constipation.
The third kind, containing a certain amount of glial protein, can absorb toxins in the body and prevent poisoning.
Fourth, it contains a variety of vitamins, especially vitamin A, which can nourish and protect the liver.
A large pot of Miao's preserved pig's trotters, also known as Miao's abalone by locals. There are dried trotters and knots in it.
I really like dried pig's trotters! Very fragrant.
Simple fried bacon with fresh bamboo shoots;
This dish is called "fried meat with melon and pickles in Xiangjiawan", and it is the first time to eat it. Xiangjiawan is a place name under the jurisdiction of Lichuan in Enshi. The local area is rich in melons and vegetables, also called kohlrabi.
A pot of golden corn soup is made of jar corn flour, honeycomb and potato chips.
Beef brisket in golden soup is an improved dish, which is cooked with beef brisket, local taro and tomatoes.
A bowl of steamed pork in Miao family is made of fresh pork belly of black pig, pot of pork belly, pot of corn flour, and potato of Ma Pediatrics.
The staple food is Miao rice Baba, which is very fragrant.
The rice here is mostly potato rice. The small potatoes in the rice look smart. You can eat one at a time.
Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, the only minority autonomous prefecture in Hubei Province, is located between two "stoves" in Wuhan and Chongqing, which is one of the most suitable areas for human habitation.
Due to the special geographical environment, local restaurants have both the spicy characteristics of Sichuan and the salty and spicy style of Xiaoxiang. Treat people with large pieces of meat and drink with earthen bowls. This is sincerity.
There are all kinds of local cuisines with Tujia and Miao characteristics, but it is also worth visiting for the sake of food.
