Recently, Zibo barbecue has become popular in the circle of friends, giving Xiaoxin a good meal.

I heard that it is a magical delicacy that cleverly combines dipping pancakes, making tea by the fire, and spring onion dipping sauce!

Pictures, pictures and animations sourced from the Internet. The freshly roasted meat is sizzling with oil. Dip it in a special dipping sauce, smear some bean paste, and add a spring onion. Take a bite and it will be hot and oily. The more you eat, the more you want it.

Eat, the more you eat, the happier you become, you can’t stop eating!

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have never been so greedy for anything else.

Why is Zibo Barbeque so addictive?

01The essence is in the furnace and fire.

Each table in Zibo Barbecue has a small stove, with the lower layer heating and the upper layer keeping warm.

The boss grills the meat until it is 60 or 70% cooked, and the guests can eat it while grilling. Each skewer is hot.

In the process of repeated roasting, the changes in the encounter between meat and fire are intensified, resulting in a super delicious reaction: the Maillard reaction.

Picture: The love between fire and meat is not an accident. Fire roasting can quickly heat the food to 140-170℃. The amino acids and sugars in the meat undergo complex changes under the action of high temperature, producing hundreds of flavor substances.

This kind of smell is a very irresistible "temptation" for people, because it turns on a switch called "appetite" in the human brain (the nucleus accumbens that controls the addiction mechanism).

When you grill or fry meat at home, if you want to promote the Maillard reaction faster, you can also try these methods: Picture some tips to make meat more delicious. After the brain smells the aroma,

You become "addicted" instantly: every more bite you take will trigger the secretion of the happy factor dopamine, making your brain more excited, and you can't help but command you: Eat more!

Paired with original sauce that makes you drool when you smell it (poke me to make you drool more), spicy green onions, fragrant flatbread... Don't blame yourself for not having the ability to control it, it's because your brain can't stand the temptation of dopamine.

02 It's delicious, between crispy and spicy.

Of course, the aroma is not enough. At this time, the second feature of Zibo Barbecue, dipping sauce, makes its grand debut!

This dipping sauce contains two elements with Shandong characteristics, which are also the key to the delicious Zibo barbecue: chili pepper and crushed peanuts.

The "passionate" collision of crispy and refreshing pictures. When you put the meat that is full of ingredients into your mouth, the first thing that "blooms" on the tip of your tongue is the crunchy texture of peanuts and the rich aroma of oil, and then the spiciness hits.

The tongue "punched".

The "beaten" taste buds transmit pain signals to the brain, which releases endorphins that relieve pain and make people happy.

The spicy kebabs in the picture give us double happiness, and the pain caused by eating spicy food is not very serious. Being neutralized by endorphins, it makes people feel happy.

So eating spicy food feels good for a while, and eating spicy food always feels good!

Imagine the aroma of soy sauce, the aroma of green onions, the protein aroma brought by the Maillard reaction, the spicy "refreshment", the oil aroma and crunchy texture of crushed peanuts, paired with the bubble stimulation of beer... It is a 360-degree surround three-dimensional

Taste experience!

03 Let’s go and have barbecue!

Barbecue can make us eat happily, and the smoke of fireworks can make us chat happily. How can we resist to smoke it?
