But if you want to travel to Henan, it is not enough to know Hu spicy soup. Next, I will introduce you to six classic Henan dishes, which will make you feel really delicious after eating!
1. Braised Yellow River Carp
Everyone has eaten carp, but have you ever eaten the big carp that grows in the Yellow River? This dish is one of the top ten famous dishes in Henan cuisine. If you go to Henan, you can see this dish in many restaurants.
The so-called Yellow River carp refers to the big carp that grows in the Yellow River basin and weighs more than one catty.
Although the taste of this dish is different in every restaurant, the practice is mostly the same. First, clean the carp, change the knife, pat the surface with flour, fry it in an oil pan until the skin is golden and crisp, and then add various spices such as onion, ginger and garlic to stew for ten minutes.
Although it grows in the Yellow River, this dish doesn't taste fishy. After frying, the skin is crisp, but the meat inside is tender. This dish is a necessary finale for Henan people to entertain guests!
Second, Huimian Noodles, Henan.
Hui Mian has an unshakable position in the hearts of Henan people and can be called an iconic business card of Henan. As one of the top ten famous faces, the popularity of emblem face is not ideal, but this does not affect its popularity at all.
Whether in the streets of the city or in the small shops at the entrance to the village, you can see the benefits everywhere. Wanderers who leave Henan must eat a bowl of rice noodles as soon as they get home to comfort their empty stomachs.
So if you travel to Henan, don't forget to eat a bowl of Hui noodles first and taste the local flavor of Henan.
Third, braised tripe.
Braised tripe is a traditional dish in Henan, which was listed as a tribute in Tang and Song Dynasties. Wide belly is actually dried fish belly, because it is distributed in Guangdong, so it is called "wide belly" by chefs.
As long as your stomach is wide, there will be a mellow and delicious taste lingering on your tongue, constantly stimulating your taste buds.
Its fragrance can't be dispersed for a long time, which makes people want to eat. Just thinking about it makes me feel like my mouth is going to drip.
Four, carp baked noodles
This dish is a masterpiece of Kaifeng cuisine. Friends who have been to Kaifeng, Henan Province must know that all major hotels will supply them. What's the difference between roasted carp noodles and braised yellow river carp?
It may be more intuitive for everyone to say this. Yellow River carp is stewed, and carp noodles are actually made of sweet and sour fried fish and noodles.
Five, fried purple crisp meat
When it comes to pot-wrapped meat, everyone will be familiar with it, but the fried purple pot-wrapped meat, the representative of Henan cuisine I want to introduce today, is not the kind of small pot-wrapped meat we usually eat. Because its raw material contains perilla leaves, it is called purple crisp meat.
This kind of fried purple crisp meat is called "roast duck", which is one of the four small barbecues, and its eating method is very different from that of Beijing roast duck. It is also shaped like a roast duck, and it is cut into pieces. The entrance is crisp, and the outside is tender and fat, but not greasy. It can be served with chopped green onion and sweet noodle sauce in a pancake.
6. Roasted mutton with onion
Do you know that the homonym of sheep is auspicious? In ancient times, only nobles could eat mutton. Grilled mutton with onion has also been rated as one of the top ten traditional dishes in Henan.
Its practice is very particular, the mutton should be crispy and delicious, the onion should be fragrant, and the selection of ingredients and the requirements of chefs are extremely high. If it is not cooked well, mutton not only smells bad, but also is greasy.
If friends know which kind of onion and mutton is delicious, they can share it in the comments section.
If you want to taste authentic Henan cuisine, you must go to Henan. After listening to my introduction, friends from other places want to travel. We old Henan people can recommend your restaurant 1 in the comment area for foreign friends' reference. Ok, that's all for this issue. See you next time!
