Being a southerner, it’s good to just take one bite. Fortunately, I still remember a record that the editor once read. It said that Grandpa Mao was also particularly fond of this bite and loved to eat it. Let’s go and learn about Fuzhou’s different delicacies.
How many Fuzhou traditional delicacies have you eaten, seen and never heard of? Soup dumplings are also called "Aojing dumplings".
The well-made dumplings are chewy and very soft in the mouth, especially when the soup and dumplings are paired together.
In the past, we basically relied on carrying poles to walk through the streets and shout.
Nowadays, there are very few people selling dumplings in the alleys. They are almost gone.
In addition to many pickled pickles, homemade moldy tofu is a specialty in Fuzhou.
When I was a child, I didn’t care much about this little moldy tofu. When I grew up and became accustomed to eating out without chili peppers, I would take out a piece of my mother’s homemade moldy tofu, dip it in a few bites, and the taste buds would be stimulated.
It is the most profound memory of my hometown.
Nowadays, a small piece of moldy tofu has become an indispensable delicacy for ordinary people.
Happy meatballs are often made at home during festivals. The glutinous rice is soaked overnight. The meatballs are added with mushrooms, water chestnuts, fungus and other accessories. Sometimes salted egg yolk is also added. After steaming, it tastes glutinous and fragrant.

Steamed pork is a traditional dish made from skin-on pork belly and steamed pork rice noodles with five spices.
The steamed meat is glutinous and fragrant, crisp and refreshing, fat and thin, tender but not greasy, and the rice noodles are oily and rich in flavor.

We have always called Ruyi cake "different cake (transliteration)". This traditional delicacy is similar to glutinous rice cake. It is also made from glutinous rice flour. It has a soft and glutinous texture without losing its chewy texture. It is especially decorated with osmanthus and sesame seeds.
Very sweet.
This pastry is a cold pastry, which is easier to preserve than glutinous rice cake. In fact, the mochi currently packaged and sold in the market is similar to ruyi cake.
Filled candies, a luxurious candy in childhood, can only be eaten every year during the Chinese New Year.
The sugar cores of filled candies are divided into sesame peanut core and soy flour white sugar core.
The candies look beautiful, and when you bite into the thin sugar coating, you will find the fragrant bean powder and sesame seeds, leaving a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth.
I remember that when I was a child, I would play outside with my friends. I would hold a piece of fat cake in my hand and it was so exciting to nibble on it. It had a faint milky aroma, was sweet and delicious, and had endless aftertaste.
Fat cakes are also an ancient traditional biscuit. During festivals and happy events, the cakes are wrapped in red paper and distributed to those who come to congratulate them.
Cold melon rind In Fuzhou, watermelon rind and grapefruit rind have always been popular.
When it’s time to eat watermelon, the rind becomes a treasure on the dining table of Fuzhou people.
Ordinary people will soak the melon rind in water and fry it before eating, but more industrious housewives will dehydrate the melon rind, dry it in the sun, pickle it with chili peppers, cover it with salt and preserve it, so that it will not lose its flavor until the next summer.
When I was a kid, my grandma would pickle some of it and eat it in the summer. The freshness of the melon rind and the spicy taste of chili peppers make me want to eat it just thinking about it.

The appearance of lotus root candy is like a ball of pure white lotus root wrapped around each other. It is known for its sweetness, crispness and crispiness.
But it is sweet but not greasy, crisp but not broken, beautiful in appearance and melts in the mouth.
The production process of lotus root candy is not easy. The main technical difficulties are boiling the sugar and drawing the silk. The drawing is the same as ramen. The sugar drawn out by highly skilled workers is as thin as hair, long and continuous, and has a sweet taste in the mouth.
Frozen Rice Candy Frozen Rice Candy is famous for being as white as snow, sweet and crispy, and melting in the mouth.

Good rice candy requires frying sesame seeds, peanut kernels, rice crackers, etc. in time, and then mixing these ingredients with glutinous rice maltose to form.
In Fuzhou dialect, jelly is called "fairy rice cake".
When eating jelly, you must have the water soaked in the grass jelly. The taste is unique, especially in the hot summer, eating a bowl of it is enough to cool you down for a while.
Of course, pure fairy rice cakes are generally only available in farmers’ houses, and it’s not easy to make, but eating them will definitely leave you with endless aftertaste.
Steamed cake is a unique snack. It is made from glutinous rice, sticky rice, and sugar. It can be steamed as you go without waiting. It is soft, sweet, and suitable for all ages.

Unfortunately, there are almost none of them on the streets now.
