There is a folk proverb called "Eat in Guangdong", which probably means that Cantonese food is exquisite and delicious, and its food is the best in the world. And Henan province, which is more than 14 kilometers away from it, has a completely different evaluation on food-Henan has basically nothing to eat except noodles!
But in fact, there are many unique and amazing specialties in Henan Province, which are not inferior to Cantonese cuisine, but different regions have created different food cultures. Seeing Anyang in tourism will list five special foods of Anyang, and bring you the unique flavor of Henan.
NO1, Daokou roast chicken
Speaking of Daokou roast chicken, I think everyone knows it, and we can still see it in its fresh clothes on the train now. It originated in Daokou Town, Anyang. The local brands such as Zhangcuncun and Yixingzhang are very authentic. When you pick up the roast chicken, you shake the meat and it falls down. It tastes great. It is worth mentioning that there are many fakes in Daokou roast chicken, and you have to come to Daokou Town to eat authentic ones.
NO2, flat noodle dish
Flat noodle dish is a traditional famous dish in Anyang area, and it is one of residents' favorite meals. Flat rice noodles are the main ingredients, with vegetables, tofu, pig blood and so on. The key to the taste is the soup and pepper, which have a long aftertaste and are fragrant but not spicy.
NO3, old temple beef
When you come to Anyang, you must eat old temple beef. This is a specialty of Laoyemiao Township, hua county, and a symbol product of chinese national geography. Because of its rotten meat and noodles, delicious color and salty taste, it is often snapped up. It is said that yongzheng emperor also ate it during his southern tour and was full of praise.
NO4, Shui Ye crisp sesame seed cake
Crispy sesame seed cake is one of the specialties of Shui Ye town. It is hand-refined with flour, crisp, syrup, sesame, salt or sugar, and baked in an earthen stove at high temperature. Just look at the pictures and you will know that it is crispy outside and crispy inside, which is super delicious! This is my favorite snack. I will buy some and try it every time I see it.
NO5, blood cake
It's probably the only place in China to make cakes with pig blood! This is one of the three treasures in Anyang. Pig blood+buckwheat noodles+other ingredients are steamed into cakes, then sliced and fried, and served with garlic juice. There is both meat and plant fragrance, and the flavor of meat and vegetable is integrated in steaming and frying, so you can't forget it once you eat it.
in addition to these five delicacies, there are fried airball, yellow enema and other delicacies, which can only be eaten locally, and they are all delicious. This is only Anyang, and there are more unique cuisines in Henan province. It is somewhat subjective to say that Henan does not know how to "eat and drink".
