Yangzhou cuisine belongs to Huaiyang cuisine, and the most famous ones are the Three Head Banquet and the Red Mansion Banquet. Speaking of steamed buns, they are a specialty of Yangzhou. And everyone knows that Fuchun steamed buns are the most famous.
National Day Fuchun Tea House is a century-old restaurant well-known at home and abroad. It was founded in 1885. You can take a manual tricycle. I have rarely seen such a large-scale manual tricycle in Yangzhou City in other cities, and it has its own characteristics. Yu Dafu and Zhu Ziqing both remembered in their articles: "If you don't enter Fuchun Gate, you have never been to Yangzhou City." Fuchun is the charming "window" of Yangzhou, the authentic representative of Huaiyang cuisine, and a blessed place for Chinese and foreign guests. This is the most authentic and the oldest.
The breakfast in Fuchun is definitely excellent, although the price is much more expensive than what we eat in ordinary small restaurants. Meat dishes, steamed buns, jade dumplings, thousand-layer pancakes, scallion pancakes, crab shells, xiaolongbao, xiaolongbao, crab roe steamed dumplings, car claw siomai, chicken shredded rolls. It’s all about status!
Fuchun’s steamed buns have various fillings. The most expensive and distinctive ones are probably the crab roe steamed buns, which are legendary to be the best.
Braised shredded pork is a common high-end dish in Yangzhou cuisine. The main ingredient is dried tofu, which is the most common in daily life. It's beautifully made and has a unique flavor. "Boiled shredded pork" is also called "dried shredded pork in chicken juice" or "dried shredded chicken and fire pork". This dish has strict requirements on knives and heat. It is definitely a dish that tests the chef's cooking skills and experience.
During the Red Mansion Banquet, three-dimensional steamed buns, jade roasted buns, and thousand-layer pancakes are known as Yangzhou’s “three wonders.”
The traditional name "Dingbao" is known as "the best in the world", which is earned by fermented flour and fine fillings. Yangzhou’s fermentation technology has been famous since ancient times. Yuan Zicai said in "Suiyuan Food List": "Yangzhou fermented noodles are the best. They are pressed by hand and do not grow even half an inch. The degree of looseness is still very high." The scalp of the three-steamed buns is soft and tough, and it does not stick to the teeth when eaten. The filling of Sanbaozi is made of diced chicken, diced meat and diced bamboo shoots, hence the name "Sanbaozi". According to legend, its origin is also related to Emperor Qianlong, who was famous for his leisurely style. When he went to the south of the Yangtze River, he put forward the standards for how to eat imperial meals: "nourishing but not tonic, taste but not fresh, oily but not greasy, crisp but not hard, tender but not soft". So the chefs processed diced ginseng, diced chicken, diced meat, diced bamboo shoots, and diced shrimp into fillings. These five flavors mixed together are tonic, fresh, fragrant, crispy and tender. The thrust of the "Five Buts" is exactly the same. After Long tasted it, he was full of praise and asked what the name of the bun was. The military attaché replied, Wuding Bun. Later, the price of sea cucumber and shrimp became high, and three-dimensional buns evolved. Take a bite of the steamed buns and you will find the diced chicken is not fresh, the diced meat is not greasy, the diced winter bamboo shoots are crispy, tender but not hard, salty yet sweet, leaving you with endless aftertaste. Being praised as "the best in the world" by the little Emperor of Japan is really full of praise.
Thousand-layer pancake is a famous delicacy in Yangzhou. It's called "Thousand Layers," but this cake has so many layers. Once
when he was selling jade, Zhu Ziqing once praised: "It's smooth and smooth, not greasy on the tongue. It's not only delicious, but also bright in color." The green color in the roasting shop reveals the steamed skin as thin as paper. Like jade. One bite and the skin breaks. After eating, the chopped vegetables made with shrimp, leeks, and eggs are refreshing and moist. After eating, my mouth was still full of shrimp flavor, which really left a lingering fragrance on my teeth and cheeks. The taste of tamagoyaki ranges from sweet to salty.
The sweet one is "Meiling green vegetables" produced in Yangzhou. Its leaves are minced and stuffed with cooked lard, ham, fondant and salt. Compared with the salty rice sold in other places, it has a special taste. I think most girls like selling jade as much as I do. The name gives people imagination and looks fresh and pleasant. The dough roll is rolled into a chrysanthemum edge, stuffed with green vegetables, shaped like a pomegranate, with a coin at the bottom, and the top exposed like a fluffy head, dotted with a small amount of chopped ham, and the color is like jade. It's a pleasure to watch. There are many flavors too.
Probably only the Yao Pork from Fuchun Tea House is authentic. Pork legs marinated in "nitrate" are cooked into "dishes". The meat is firm, close to "exposed bacon", and has a special aroma. It is definitely not the kind of white sauce pork belly cooked with five spices that other restaurants say.
With these details in mind, let’s have a cup of nightshade tea. This tea is made from Zhulan grown by Fuchun Flower Bureau, Longjing from Zhejiang, and Kuizhen from Anwei. It can both quench thirst and relieve boredom. Savor it carefully and look out the window at the bustling streets and winding alleys. You will suddenly feel that the joy of life is this tea, this snack, this simple and beautiful peace.
Nowadays, Fuchun breakfast can be eaten safely in the streets and alleys of Yangzhou. You may not have to go to a teahouse to eat Fuchun steamed buns. However, you enjoy a different atmosphere in a teahouse. However, when you take it back, you feel that Fuchun is not delicious. Maybe it's a psychological feeling.
Ye Chun Xiao Long Bao, Ye Chun Tea House is a teahouse in Yangzhou, which can be compared with Fuchun Xiao Long Bao. Here you can fully understand how to eat Yangzhou Xiao Long Bao "eat the meat first, then the skin" and you need a straw.
The so-called Yangzhou Three Head Banquet refers to the most famous Yangzhou cuisine, steamed crab lion head, roasted whole pig head, and stewed silver carp head, collectively called Yangzhou Three Head.
Let’s start with the steamed crab meat lion head. It is different from ordinary meatballs in that it is particularly large and round in shape, so it is literally called a lion's head; in addition, its cooking and flavor are also different, it is not fried, but stewed. Do not use soy sauce when cooking to keep the original color of the ingredients. Not to mention the materials used. The pork requires pork ribs produced in Yangzhou, and the crab meat requires a fresh large clear water crab. Chop it into fine pieces, mix with seasonings, make a large ball, put it in a casserole, cover with vegetable leaves, and stew until cooked. When the food is done, it’s time to serve. Steamed crab powder, lion head, distinct color and taste, but very delicious, fresh and delicious, meat, crab and vegetables are all delicious.
Also, roast the whole pig head. It is a Kung Fu dish with extremely complex techniques in Yangzhou cuisine. The recipe for this dish is: take a fresh pig head, scrape and wash it, remove both ears, bones and brain, and soak it in water. After the blood is completely bleached, blanch it in boiling water for about 20 minutes, remove it, and rinse it with clean water. Then, the eyes are gouged out, the eyelashes and tongue coating are removed, and the whole pig head is put into a pot of water and roasted twice. When about 70% mature, remove from the pot and replace with water. Place a bamboo mat in the pot, cover it with ginger slices, green onion segments, spice packets and a little vinegar, put the pig head in, cover the pot and cook over high heat until cooked through, then simmer over low heat for 4 hours until the meat is crispy and the soup is thick. Edible. The roasted whole pig head has a rich flavor, sweet and sour, salty, and unique smell. It has the reputation of "tasting with a fragrant aroma on the teeth and cheeks".
Braised silver carp head. There is a proverb in Yangzhou: "The silver carp eats the head, the herring eats the tail, and the duck eats the thigh." The silver carp in Yangzhou is meaty and fishy, ??and the silver carp in winter is fresh and tender. The cooking process of this dish is not complicated. More than 5 kilograms of silver carp bones are removed and put into the pot together with tofu, followed by chic
Yangzhou fried rice is a brand that Yangzhou people are proud of. Yangzhou's authentic fried rice, with eggs wrapped in rice grains, is tender and golden, oily but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, and is definitely the best of delicacies. This is authentic, remember!
Yangzhou’s ‘no bragging candy’ (advertising slogan) is cheap and very suitable for students. Some candy wrappers can be eaten once in a while, but if you eat too much, your teeth will become soft, but Yangzhou's is not the case. The more you eat, the better your teeth will be, and the more you chew, the better they will taste. The more I eat, the more I want to eat. Yangzhou Brown Candy is made of Brown Candy and sesame, but the ingredients in Yangzhou Brown Candy seem to be well blended, making people never get tired of eating it, and the more they eat, the more they want to eat it.
Yangzhou Lao Goose is the most sold in the streets of Yangzhou. The meat is fresh and tender, and when you take a bite, the pregnant marinade will soak up your teeth, making you remember it for a long time.
In fact, the taste of this roast goose has nothing to do with the word "老". It is said that old goose should be comparable to Peixian dog meat. If it gets stuck between the teeth and is picked out with a toothpick the next day, it will still result in a mouth full of meat, and the meat must be dense and chewy. It is probably one of the lost techniques.
