Satay Noodles is the most popular food in Xiamen, and its method is mainly based on sand tea sauce. Authentic sand tea sauce is made of more than ten kinds of ingredients such as dried shrimp, fish head, onion, garlic, ginger, etc. First, these ingredients are fried and crisp, then ground into powder, and finally made into sauce, and sand tea sauce is also the most critical place to make this food. Satay Noodles's other ingredient is noodles, which are made of alkaline and oily noodles. Put the alkaline and oily noodles in a strainer, then blanch them in boiling water, scoop them into a bowl, then pour in sand tea sauce and stir them, and finally add fish balls, shrimps, pork liver, duck blood, large intestine, pork loin, pig heart, etc. The prepared Satay Noodles is fragrant and makes people have an appetite instantly.

Fried oyster

Fried oyster is also called oyster omelet. In the Golden Triangle of southern Fujian, oyster omelet is one of the necessary dishes to test women's cooking skills. Although it is simple, it is still difficult to make delicious food. It is said that many local brides will choose oyster omelet as the first dish they cook for their mother-in-law. If they cook well, they will be loved by their mother-in-law.

This dish of oyster omelet has existed since ancient times, but there are different versions of the legend about the birth of oyster omelet. Some say that it was invented by poor people during the famine, and some say that it was invented by Zheng Chenggong during the war. Of course, I prefer the first statement. Now oyster omelet is mainly concentrated in Fujian coastal areas, Taiwan Province, Chaoshan and other places, while oyster omelet in Taiwan Province is said to have been brought there by Zheng Chenggong's army.

There is a proverb in southern Fujian called fat leeches and fat leeks, which means that the leeks are most prosperous every year, that is, the leeches are the most fat. The leeks are most prosperous in February of the lunar calendar, and oyster frying is the perfect combination of leeks and leeches. Cut the leeks into short sections with a finger length, then put them together with the washed leeches and add diluted minced meat.

Jiang mother duck

Ginger duck is called "the king of next meal", and of course, it is also a medicated diet. Both China Medicinal Diet and Chinese Pharmacopoeia recorded this delicious food, which is said to have been created by Wu Zhong, a famous doctor in Shang Dynasty. At that time, it was a royal palace diet, and later it was scattered among the people.

Ginger duck is made of low-fat muscovy duck, then the duck is cleaned, and finally it is slowly stewed in an old casserole with ginger (head ginger), rice wine, sesame oil and more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials. Even the ginger slices have the taste of duck. The medicated diet in delicious food is nourishing but not greasy, warm but not dry, suitable for spring consumption, and has the effect of reducing fire.

Peanut soup

Peanut soup is a dessert in southern Fujian. The ingredients are very simple, including peanuts, eggs and white sugar. Although the materials are simple, the method is very elegant. First, select high-quality peanuts, remove their shells and skins, then soak them in boiling water, then add them to a casserole and cook them with slow fire. After the peanuts are cooked, add white sugar and continue to cook them until they are rotten. You can eat them with some desserts, such as fried dough sticks, fried dates, meat buns and glutinous rice.

Peanut soup originated in Quanzhou, and then slowly spread to Fujian coastal areas and overseas. Peanut soup can be seen in weddings, birthdays and other occasions in Quanzhou. Because peanut soup moistens the lungs and produces fluid, it has the curative effect of medicinal diet, so local people basically cook this delicious food, and you can also try to cook it at home.

Roasted meat dumplings

Zongzi are found all over the country, but the practices in each place are different. The zongzi in Shaanxi are all pure glutinous rice, which is sweet but not greasy and delicious, but now there are salty zongzi in some places. I have tasted it before, but I still feel uncomfortable. In fact, roasted meat dumplings and zongzi are generally similar, but the ingredients are different.

There are not only glutinous rice in the stuffing of the barbecued pork dumplings, but also pork belly, mushrooms, shrimps, chestnuts, scallops, salted egg yolks, etc. These ingredients and glutinous rice are wrapped in lotus leaves and cooked in a pot. The barbecued pork dumplings are very unique in taste. You might as well try them.

Frozen bamboo shoots

In fact, frozen bamboo shoots are found in most places, which are similar in appearance, but in different ways. Frozen bamboo shoots have nothing to do with bamboo shoots. We must pay attention to this. In fact, frozen bamboo shoots are a bit like seafood, and the way of making them is very simple. The main material is a worm that lives in the sea, and its scientific name is called Caryopteris deliciosa, which belongs to the phylum Stellata. It is 2-3 inches long. Put this worm into water and boil it, and the glue inside its body. When the water doped with worm gum is cooled, it will condense into a block. When eating, it will be cut into pieces or strips with a knife, then sprinkled with shredded radish, shredded pepper, coriander, etc., and poured with soy sauce and vinegar.

jiaozi or wonton

Flat food is actually jiaozi. In ancient China, jiaozi was called flat food. Although it has been called jiaozi in many places now, it still retains the name of flat food in Fujian. In fact, there are many names for flat food in China, such as chaos and wonton soup.

The flat food in Xiamen is a kind of small chaos. Fresh pork leg meat is covered with a thin leather bag, and the noodles inside are similar to paste, as thin as hair, and melt in the mouth. Coupled with fresh and thick soup, the taste is very delicious.

spring roll

Spring rolls are found in many places in China, but the practices are quite different. Spring rolls in Xiamen are also called pancakes. The eating method is very simple, that is, all kinds of dishes are wrapped in dough and rolled into rolls. The common ingredients in dough are bamboo shoots, peas, dried beans, shredded eggs, shrimps, shredded pork, oysters and carrots, which are crisp and delicious and nutritious.
