Yangzhou snacks have always been as famous as its dishes, and the most important thing is noodles. There are many kinds of noodles in Yangzhou. According to relevant records, since the Qing Dynasty, there have been Huimian Noodles, pork intestines noodles, beef noodles, Lamian Noodles noodles, pickled vegetable noodles, egg noodles, green vegetable noodles, jiaozi noodles, fried noodles and dry mixed noodles. Fei Zhiyu, a native of Chengdu, was full of praise after he came to Yangzhou to taste noodles. He said that "Yangjun Noodle Restaurant is the world's nail art" and wrote a poem: "Hello Yangzhou, ask in front of Crane Tower. In summer, a dish of wonderful water is just right. In the morning, I like to cross the bridge. A cigarette is worth thousands of dollars. "

In the past, after four o'clock in the afternoon, people went to eat noodles at Laole Jinyuan Noodle Restaurant on National Day Road. In this noodle restaurant, you can also see noodles, but now it's called Huimian Noodles. A friend from afar, I specially took him to taste it once, and he was full of praise and cheered again and again. Jiaozi noodles is a tradition in Yangzhou, called jiaozi noodles. There is no jiaozi. In Huaiyang area, small wonton is called Huaijiao, so jiaozi noodles are wonton noodles. Noodles and wonton are cooked in one pot and then put in the same bowl. Dry mixed noodles are deeply loved by people. Use good soy sauce and lard instead of soup, and put the noodles directly into the bowl and mix well. Dry-mixed noodles are the key technology. Don't overcook the noodles, or they will stick to your mouth and not be too raw. If they are too raw, they will be uncomfortable to eat. Dry mixed noodles are delicious, but the taste is too dry, so some dry mixed noodles in noodle stands will also be accompanied by a bowl of vegetable soup. When there is no soup, some people like to use a bowl of soybean milk. On the way to work in the early morning of winter, eating a bowl of dry mixed noodles like this will make you feel warm all morning.

The baked wheat cakes in Yangzhou are very good. Huangqiao sesame seed cake is the most common one in the street, which became famous overnight in the great war half a century ago. There is also a crisp sesame seed cake, which is made of pastry. After repeated kneading and baking, it is crisp and layered, with diverse tastes, including sugar stuffing, meat stuffing, dried vegetable stuffing, amaranth stuffing, green vegetable stuffing, shredded radish stuffing and so on. Different fillings have become various flavors of Yangzhou baked wheat cake. In many places, sesame cakes are only available in the morning, while in Yangzhou, sesame cakes can be bought all day and eaten whenever you want.

Tofu rolls and pot stickers are snacks listed in the afternoon. Tofu paper, that is, ordinary paper, is rolled up with some diced tofu and chopped green onion, and then fried in a flat pan with half oil and half water. The aroma floats all over the street, and it is salty and soft to eat in the mouth, which can arouse people's appetite. Pot stickers are similar to tofu rolls, and they are also fried in a flat pan with half oil and half water. Pot stickers are fried in jiaozi, and those in Yangzhou are quite delicious, especially those made by national hotel on National Day. Every afternoon, especially in autumn and winter, I go there to drink hot beef soup and eat fried pot stickers, which are crisp and oily, but it is a pleasure to visit.

Fried stinky dry food is Yangzhou's signature snack. In the urban area of Yangzhou, you can smell an unpleasant smell everywhere. This is the smell of fried smelly food. Pieces of small, square, smelly dried fruit are slowly fried and soaked in oil. They are loose and crisp, cut open, cooked with seasoning made of diluted soy sauce and Chili sauce, and put some bean sprouts and coriander powder on them. Don't mention the delicious taste. People in Yangzhou say that stinky tofu is raw, smelly and fragrant. You will definitely have a real experience when you stand in front of a fried and smelly stall.

Chili soup and tofu brain seem to be paired foods, and many people who sell Chili soup also sell tofu brain. In the past, people who sold bean curd were carrying the burden along the street, but now they set up a stall on the street and put three or four small stools to greet the guests. The still is the same. The brewer puts the distiller in a basin and carries it with a burden or a bicycle. Instead of shouting, they knocked with two bamboo boards as they walked.

Zongzi is a seasonal snack. Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, there are more people selling zongzi. The zongzi in Yangzhou is very distinctive, mainly when it is ready to get home. "Yangzhou Hongfu Zongzi" in Suiyuan Food List said: "Hongfu makes zongzi, takes glutinous rice at the top, takes its whole body long white, removes half of its scattered pieces, washes it very well, wraps it with big leaves, puts a large piece of ham, seals the pot and simmers it, and firewood keeps on day and night. The food is greasy and mild, and the meat is rice. " There are many kinds of zongzi, including bacon zongzi, fresh meat zongzi, red bean zongzi, broad bean zongzi, sugar zongzi, peanut zongzi and so on. Making zongzi is a technically difficult job, which is pillow-shaped. People in Yangzhou call it jiaozi. Cone-shaped, Yangzhou people call it triangular zongzi. Those who can't wrap it can't get any shape by pinching it casually.

Egg pancakes are delicious and tender. Burning is also called burning with scallion oil, which is crisp and fragrant. It's a traditional snack in Yangzhou. Eggs, pancakes and fires can be seen everywhere on the streets of Yangzhou.

Romance in Huaiyang for a Thousand Years —— Yangzhou Cuisine

Yu Guangyuan published an article in Cooking in China 1997, pointing out that "Dream of Red Mansions Meal" should focus on promoting dishes. Mr. Feng Qiyong, President of the Red Cross Society of China, wrote: "The delicious food in the world belongs to Yangzhou, and the head of silver carp is stewed with three ducks. Last night, there was a new banquet in the Red Chamber, and Kyushu was gluttonous. "

Feng Qiyong, a famous redologist, said: "The red chamber cuisine is the real Yangzhou cuisine." .

Three-head banquet is a banquet developed from three famous traditional dishes in Yangzhou: braised silver carp head, stewed lion head and roasted whole pig head. Lion's head, fat and tender, not greasy; Silver carp head, mellow taste; The whole pig's head is fragrant and full of local flavor.

All-lotus banquet, known as "Water Country Zeguo" and "Lotus Country Baoying", has created more than 50 kinds of lotus root dishes according to ancestral production methods, forming a unique all-lotus root mat.
