Goubuli steamed stuffed bun is a famous flavor in Tianjin. White and soft, the same size, the same thickness at the bottom. Bite very oily, but not greasy, and taste delicious. Why does it have this feature? It turns out that it pays attention to materials and production. Specifically, the ratio of fat to thin of fresh pork is 3: 7, and appropriate amount of water is added, accompanied by ribs soup or belly soup, as well as ground sesame oil, special soy sauce, Jiang Mo, chopped green onion and monosodium glutamate. They are carefully mixed together to make stuffed buns. Half-baked dough for steamed stuffed bun skin generally requires that the water temperature be kept at about 65438 05℃ when kneading dough.

Wrap the stuffing, knead it carefully with your fingers, and at the same time twist it hard. Each steamed stuffed bun has 15 pleats with uniform pleat density, such as white chrysanthemum. Then go to the furnace and steam with hard gas for 5 minutes.

However, how can local snacks, with such a distinctive flavor, take such a strange name as "Goubuli"?

Legend has it that in the Qing Dynasty, there lived a young man named Gao Youyou in Yangcun, Wuqing County near Tianjin. He has been stubborn since he was a child and is famous for his stubbornness. If he doesn't listen and lose his temper, the nine cows won't come back, and no one will take care of him. On this day, some noble stubbornness broke out again, and his father scared him to ignore it. His mother advised him to ignore it, but he twisted his neck and didn't talk. His mother sighed and said, "You are such a stubborn temper that you ignore any dog!" " He has such a bad temper that even the dog won't talk to him. The nickname "Goubuli" spread like this.

In a blink of an eye, the noble has grown to 14 years old, and his temper is still very grumpy and stubborn. His father was afraid that he would make trouble in the village, so he asked someone to take him to Tianjin to learn some skills and find something to do. Liuzheng Food Store, located just beside the Tianjin South Canal, needed a waiter, so it was introduced to the distinguished guests.

Liu's steamed food shop mainly deals in steamed food and meat buns, supplying boatmen, trackers and small traders who depend on the canal for a living. His work is very heavy. Although he comes from a noble family and has a bad temper, he is used to eating snacks, so he works very hard, and all the masters in the shop like him very much. Some nobles are also very smart. As soon as they learn something, they will learn it. So the store specially asked him to learn how to make steamed buns. Thanks to his diligence and the careful guidance of his masters, Noble made progress in making steamed buns and soon became famous.

After three years as a teacher, Gui Youyou mastered all kinds of skills of making steamed buns, so he independently opened a snack bar specializing in making steamed buns. Because of his noble birth, good craftsmanship, serious work, and never adulterated, the steamed buns he made were particularly delicious, and soon his reputation rang, and more and more people came to eat his steamed buns. Because people used to call him "Goubuli", they also called his steamed stuffed bun "Goubuli" by the way. I didn't expect this special name to make his business more prosperous.

Noble business is getting better and better, and more and more people find the nickname "Goubuli" ugly, so they give their store an elegant brand name called "Deju". Although the brand name is nice, people still ignore it.

One day, several foreign businessmen came to taste "Goubuli" steamed stuffed bun, and when they entered the door, they asked, "Boss, is this" Goubuli "?" When Gao Gui heard this, he was furious. He craned his neck and said gruffly, "We have a signboard here called Deju. Do you have eyes? " Goubuli is over there. Go early. At first glance, merchants did not "ignore dogs". They turned and went out to look for a circle, then turned to the noble and said, "Don't pay attention to that dog! "Are you kidding!" When you look at it, you can't break this nickname. Now even outsiders know it, so you can only let others call it.

In this way, the name of "Goubuli" spread more and more widely, and "Goubuli" steamed stuffed bun became more and more popular and became a famous traditional snack in China.
