In the poem of poet Wang Mian, Hunan is described as follows: "In March, the east wind blows away the snow, and the mountains in Hunan are as green as water."

It can be seen that Hunan is a good place to travel, such as Zhangjiajie, Orange Island and Fenghuang Ancient City.

if you ask me, Hunan is not only fascinated by the beautiful scenery, but also by the delicious food. Hunan cuisine has its own characteristics, and only those who have eaten it can appreciate its beauty.

Just like the six Hunan dishes I will introduce to you next, they are all selected dishes. Let's have a look.

1. Ningxiang Tasty Snake

2. Zhulou Chicken

Zhulou Chicken is a local classic food in Hunan, a special dish in Loudi, Hunan, which is deeply loved by local people. What is unique about this dish? I will reveal it for you.

actually, although the native chicken in this dish is raised by local farmers, it eats all kinds of vegetables and worms, so the meat quality of this native chicken is more delicious, and it is absolutely very good to use it to cook delicious food.

when making local chicken, there are not only chicken, but also local people like to add ingredients such as chicken offal. The delicious food after cooking is very attractive and makes people want to stop.

And this braised eel with sauerkraut is a dish that locals like very much. As you can know from the name, the cooking method of this dish is braised, and the raw materials include eel and sauerkraut.

when making this delicious food, we should first select materials, generally using relatively large Monopterus albus, then clean the selected Monopterus albus, cut the side dishes at the same time, then stir-fry the Monopterus albus and sauerkraut in the pot, add various seasonings to taste, and finally add water to stew for a short time to enjoy the delicious food.

If you are lucky enough to have been to Hunan, you will know that local people can't lack small fried meat in their diet. Small fried meat is a very delicious Hunan dish, a relatively grounded Hunan dish, and a good dish for local people to eat very much.

if you want to make the small fried meat delicious, you must work hard on the ingredients, and it is best to choose pork with fat and thin. The peppers in the small fried meat are generally spicy peppers. The combination of peppers and pork makes this dish very tender and appetizing.

5. Stir-fry bullfrogs

If people like bullfrogs best, Hunan people must be on the list. Stir-fried bullfrog is an essential dish in local life.

6. Pepper fried meat

There are many atmospheric dishes in Hunan cuisine, and pepper fried meat is a very common dish, which is very grounded and makes people feel very cordial. Locals often use it for instant meals, not to mention how delicious the rice tastes. I think if I use it as an instant meal, I can dry three bowls of rice in a row.
