When it comes to Shanxi, most people think of all kinds of pasta. Actually, it's not the case. Besides pasta, Shanxi people have other local specialties that are worth eating. Let's make a plate of special foods worth taking home when we travel to Shanxi in April today.

1. Pingyao beef (a bag around 5 yuan)

Pingyao beef has been regarded as the first-class tribute of the palace since the late Qing Dynasty, especially won the favor of Empress Dowager Cixi, and this dish has been handed down ever since.

Pingyao beef is made by traditional technology, and every process is very particular, from beef selection to subsequent cutting, pickling and cooking. Especially for the selection of beef, only beef with bright red meat, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, and a little flaw will be pass away. It has the effect of supporting the stomach and strengthening the spleen, and is favored by tourists. It is a waste to travel to Shanxi without eating Pingyao beef.

Second, yellow millet (one catty in 4.8 yuan)

Yellow millet in Qinzhou is also a very famous local product in Shanxi, and it is also a very famous rice in China. On the whole, the color of rice grains is waxy yellow and crystal clear, and each yellow rice is very round and full, shaped like a pearl.

Everyone must know that the porridge cooked by Xiaohuangmi in Qinzhou is very sweet and delicious, and there is no graininess, and the surface of the porridge will be covered with a thin oil film. It is very suitable as a complementary food for babies, and it is easy for the elderly to digest.

Third, Taigu Cake (a bag around 25 yuan)

Taigu Cake is rich in Taigu County, Shanxi Province, which is a traditional name in Shanxi Province. Taigu Cake can be said to represent the exquisite craftsmanship of Shanxi pasta and has the reputation of "the king of cakes".

The whole cake body is made of honey, flour, eggs, white sugar, salad oil and sesame seeds. It tastes crisp and delicious when it is just out of the pot, but it is crisp and not hard when it is cold, and even if it is put for several months, the taste of Taigu cake will not change at all.

Fourth, the bowl tray (a bowl in 3 yuan)

The bowl tray, also known as the bowl ball, is a traditional pasta snack that has been circulated in Shanxi for thousands of years. The whole saucer is about the size of an adult's palm. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is really delicious.

The production method is also very simple. Buckwheat noodles are mixed with water, then heated and stirred into a paste, and then solidified and formed after cooling. When eating, pour some Chili oil, vinegar, minced garlic, etc. on it, and then cut it into small pieces with a knife, and you can eat it. The taste is very q-bomb, much like jelly, which adults and children love to eat ~
