In Wuxi, breakfast is rich and varied, and the most popular ones among locals are Wuxi Xiaolong, wontons, and Wuxi noodles.
Every old shop in the alleys of Nanjing has sauced pork ribs, which are rich in texture, sticky in taste, rich in aroma and endless aftertaste.
There is a large intestine shop hidden in Yuqi market. The stew soup is delicious and attracts many people to buy and taste it.
About breakfast 1. Wuxi Xiaolong For breakfast in Wuxi, steamed buns are definitely the first choice.
According to relevant statistics, there are 9,530 bun shops in Wuxi, which is more than Suzhou and Changzhou combined!
A good steamed bun can be "picked up without breaking the skin, turned over without leaking the bottom, sucked up and marinated, and tasted fresh but not greasy".
Take a small bite, inhale the sweetness, chew carefully, the sweetness will fade away, and the aroma of pork will fill your mouth.
2. Wontons Wuxi people like to use wontons with steamed buns, so you can also find wontons in most steamed bun shops.
White soup is the most classic taste.
Put egg shreds, dried tofu shreds and garnished green onions on top of the cooked wontons, pour a ladle of clear and delicious soup, and you can't help but sigh after taking a sip.
3. Although Wuxi Noodle House is located in the south of the Yangtze River, Wuxi people are highly dependent on pasta.
A bowl of noodles in the morning has become part of the blood of Wuxi people.
In old Wuxi, it was common to get up at five o'clock in the morning to eat soup noodles.
Eating noodles is a comfortable day.
If there is one dish that best represents Wuxi, it must be the pork ribs with sauce that has been famous all over the world since the Qing Dynasty.
It is also a must-try delicacy for foreign tourists visiting Wuxi.
To make sauced pork ribs, you need to use good pork ribs, preferably Taihu pigs, about one year old and weighing about 160 pounds.
The most traditional method is to combine pork ribs, pork belly, and pig ears with the oily aroma of pork belly, the gelatin of pig ears, and the meaty texture of pork ribs to create a charming taste with rich texture and sticky taste.
Because sweetness can suppress saltiness, you can feel the temptation of sweetness as soon as you enter the pork ribs. This is also an important reason why outsiders firmly believe that Wuxi people can only eat sweetness.
But in fact, if you chew it a few times, you will get the salty taste of the meat.
The main purpose of adding sugar is to give the meat an attractive caramel color while also flavoring the meat through chemical reactions.
Yuqi Food Market Shendachang Wuxi Yuqi Market hides an inconspicuous little shop, but it has countless loyal fans.
Some people are even willing to drive here for several hours every week just to buy a box of braised intestines.
Inch by inch, wash, remove fat, clean, and start firing.
There are no tricks from beginning to end, just rely on the pot of stewed soup that has been boiling for decades to conquer the taste buds of people around you.
The aquatic products Sanhai Lake whitebait, white fish, and white shrimp are sold in Taihu Lake, so that the famous Taihu Lake three whites are also served on the dining table in Wuxi.
No scales, no bones, no spines, delicate and transparent, requiring almost no treatment.
Silverbait has a somewhat "immortal" appearance and gets a bit of preference.
Although Wuxi people love sweet food, "fresh" is the best way to cook Hu cuisine.
Simple plain water is delicious.
Old Wuxi people will even choose to eat white shrimps raw to maximize the freshness of Taihu Lake.
Laoshaoyu Laoshaoyu is a common pewter dish.
The steps are simple to say but tricky to do.
In order to keep the fish fresh, do not wash the fish with water after killing it. Instead, wipe the fish body clean with a clean rag.
Put the fish directly into the pot without adding salt, add soy sauce to make it salty, and finally add sugar to reduce the juice.
The fish cooked in this way is clean and the flavor has penetrated into the fish.
Cui Liang eel and Liangxi crispy eel are also representatives of Wuxi local delicacies.
After being re-fried, the eel stays crispy for a long time, and then coated with sugar coating, it becomes a small dessert.
Salty and sweet, crispy and delicious, it is very popular.
Sichuan cuisine traveled north along the canal from Hangzhou, and the long life on board gave birth to unique shipboard dishes.
The essence of boat dishes is to cook the fish caught in Taihu Lake in Taihu Lake water, and then you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake and have a full meal.
A unique experience.
I had an absolutely unforgettable experience.
