I didn't expect that milk and mash can also produce wonderful chemical reactions. A pot of boiled fresh milk, a spoonful of mash and a handful of dried fruits make this special drink rich in layers. The delicious taste of milk itself has become the main tone of food, and dried fruit has increased the taste and chewiness, and the refreshing and sweet mash is the finishing touch of this special snack. Laomajia's milk and egg mash is the hottest stall on Zhengning Road, so you should be prepared to queue up every time you go.
2, stuffed skin stuffed skin is steamed with flour syrup. There are two kinds, one is ordinary fermented skin, also known as "washed fermented skin", and the other is high-load fermented skin. The most famous thing in Lanzhou is the high-load stuffed skin. It is said that the producers used to carry loads on the streets to sell it, which was named because of its particularly high burden.
Niangpi is a famous local snack in northwest China. Niangpi is a kind of food made of flour, and its color is crystal clear and Huang Liang, translucent and jade-like. It can be eaten by cutting it into long strips with the thickness of chopsticks and adding seasonings such as soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic juice, Chili oil and refined salt.
3, fried powder in oil to eat bean jelly in summer, can not only satisfy hunger and thirst, but also dry and cool, and enjoy delicious food, so everyone loves to eat. However, in the winter when thousands of miles are frozen and the snow is falling in Wan Li, bean jelly makes people flinch. Therefore, Lanzhou people have created a unique way to eat bean jelly, that is, to fry bean jelly in an oil pan in winter, which is Lanzhou fried flour with unique flavor.
Stir-fried powder is a snack in which the square powder cut into mahjong tiles is put into a pot with oil, and the sugar color, chopped green onion and refined salt are added, and stir-fried continuously until it is golden and hot.
According to personal taste, it is better to pour some garlic juice, sesame sauce, Chili oil and vinegar.
4, sweet candied fruit "sweet candied fruit, old people and dolls drool, one bowl and two bowls can appetize, three bowls and four bowls top meal". Sweet candied fruits are indispensable to Lanzhou people.
The practice of candied fruits is a bit like fermented grains, but the difference is that candied fruits are mostly made of oats or highland barley. Peel and steam highland barley or oats, add distiller's yeast, mix well, put into a porcelain basin or jar, and put it on a hot kang or keep warm on a stove.
The famous "sweet preserved fruit milk tea" was created by combining the northwest specialty of sweet preserved fruit with common tea.
5. Gray beans are in Lanzhou. Most snack bars in Lanzhou sell gray beans, and they are very hot. Whether it is cold in winter or hot in summer, Lanzhou people's enthusiasm for gray beans is always unabated.
Grey beans originated in Lanzhou, with a history of more than 300 years. They are mainly boiled with sesame peas and dates. When cooking beans, it is necessary to add ash and alkali, and it needs to be cooked for at least six hours with slow fire, so that the boiled beans can be made into bean paste.
