innovating Hangzhou snacks
Hangzhou snacks have a long history and rich cultural heritage, but with the changes of the times, traditional Hangzhou snacks may not meet the taste needs of modern people. Therefore, we can consider innovating traditional snacks, adding new ingredients or production techniques to create more fashionable, exquisite and creative Hangzhou snacks.
add modern elements: for example, add modern elements such as cheese and spinach to traditional steamed buns to meet the taste needs of more young people;
Explore new flavors: For example, add tomatoes, cream and other flavors to the traditional Longjing shrimp to explore new delicious combinations;
using local special ingredients: for example, adding Adenophora adenophora, a special product of Hangzhou, into traditional water shield meatballs to highlight the local characteristics of Hangzhou;
Introduce healthy snacks: For example, introduce snacks with low sugar, low oil and high protein to meet the needs of modern people for a healthy diet.
Promote local specialty ingredients
Hangzhou is rich in local specialty ingredients, such as Longjing tea, West Lake water shield, Hangzhou cabbage and osmanthus. Promoting these local specialty ingredients can improve their popularity and market value.
Use special ingredients to make dishes: for example, use Longjing tea to make
tea eggs, Longjing shrimp, Longjing chicken and other dishes, and use West Lake water shield to make shredded water shield and water shield soup and other dishes;
making special snacks: for example, making snacks such as Osmanthus Jelly, sweet-scented osmanthus candy and sweet-scented osmanthus sauce with osmanthus fragrans, and making snacks such as lotus crisp and sweet-scented osmanthus candy with specialty lotus in Hangzhou;
promoting special ingredients: for example, promoting Hangzhou special ingredients to foreign tourists through food festivals and agricultural products fairs, so as to improve their popularity and market value.
