As the host of this Winter Olympics, China is also the world's top food kingdom, and it coincides with the Spring Festival, so it really brings out all the specialties.
The hospitality for athletes from all over the world is quite good. It is estimated that they will all gain two pounds after returning home after the Winter Olympics.
1. Dumplings The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics coincides with my country’s traditional festival Spring Festival, and the most representative food of the Spring Festival is dumplings.
Genius girl Gu Ailing returned to China to compete for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and finally got to eat the dumplings she had longed for. She ate 20 dumplings in one go. This amount of food is definitely true love.
For athletes from other countries, dumplings, a special Spring Festival delicacy, make them feel the strong flavor of the Chinese New Year.
According to the restaurant staff, the dumplings provided by the Winter Olympics restaurant are mainly stuffed with beef and green onions. This flavor of dumplings is the most popular among athletes, and does not add too many accessories, so the nutritional structure will not be affected.
Of course, if athletes want to eat dumplings with other fillings, they can make suggestions to the restaurant staff to ensure that each athlete can eat their favorite dumplings.
2. Peking Roast Duck Peking Roast Duck is the signature dish of Beijing, the capital of our country. It must be a must-eat for foreign athletes and is also one of their favorite delicacies.
It is said that during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, an average of more than 700 ducks were eaten every day. Some extremely elite athletes ate three meals a day, which was unparalleled.
In this Beijing Winter Olympics, the popularity of Beijing roast duck remains unabated.
As the roast duck supplier for the Olympic Games, Quanjude has sent 180 chefs and waiters to provide support and will provide more than 600 roast ducks to athletes every day.
Taking into account that athletes should not consume too much high fat, Chef Quanjude specially extended the roasting time to 45 minutes to dry out part of the subcutaneous fat under the duck skin, then served it with cucumber and green onion dipping sauce, rolled it up in dough, and took a bite
It's not fat but not greasy when it goes down, and the taste is really nothing to say.
3. Sixi Meatballs As one of the classic dishes of Shandong cuisine, Sixi Meatballs are composed of four meatballs, symbolizing happiness and wealth in life.
The four great blessings are longevity and happiness.
Although Sixi Meatballs look ordinary, they are not simple at all to make.
First of all, in the selection of ingredients, it is best to chop pork with three fat and seven lean parts, then mix with minced water chestnuts, and make them into meatballs after conditioning.
First fried and then stewed, the color is golden and the aroma is overflowing.
Because of its auspicious meaning and delicious taste, it was once the main dish of the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China and an indispensable dish at the holiday family banquet. Sixi meatballs entered the Winter Olympics without any accident.
It is said that on the first day of the opening of the Olympic Village, the athletes directly destroyed more than a thousand copies of Sixi Meatballs.
This terrifying fighting power is worthy of the top athletes from all over the world.
