Under the sky, I dare say that only the Sichuan people are the most delicious, and eat a lot of the world's breathtaking names and flavors. The Spring and Autumn period of Qi state politician, thinker Guan Zhong's sentence "people eat for heaven", in the Sichuan people is to show the most. However, the Sichuan people still feel that the old ancestor did not say enough to be complete, and insisted on adding a "food to taste first". In Sichuan, where people talk about eating, regardless of men and women, young and old, always ask the first flavor, "What to eat, what flavor well?". . Not only that, Sichuan people also like to play with flavor, play with flavor is often Sichuan men than Sichuan women to play more turn. This is also most of the men in Sichuan like the kitchen, the whole reason for eating. "Play flavor" to well-known culinary experts Hu Lianquan teacher's words, it is "play flavor Sichuan cuisine, is to play the taste of Sichuan cuisine, is to play chili, play is to study, play is the body taste." It is Sichuan people eat, good taste, only to play a variety of flavors, distinctive flavor system of Sichuan cuisine; play a Sichuan cuisine "to taste long, a hundred dishes, a hundred flavors," the unique personality and vitality; only to play the world of Sichuan cuisine, the world of Sichuan flavor of the prosperity of the scene and reputation. This article is to give you a look at some of the God said "strange flavor", is that the Sichuan people have no intention to find the fragrance, wonderful hand accidentally get "play" out.
(Weird Chicken)
God said the origin of the strange flavor
The word "God said" is a Sichuan dialect, describing the speaker rambling, mouth without a barrier to the punch shell, bragging. It is also the meaning of the northern people "Kan Dashan". Besides, the word "strange", "Dictionary" explanation is: strange, uncommon. Nowadays, the diversification of modern society, network language, popular language, fashion word of the rapid changes, with the times, not only to expand the space of expression of the Chinese language, and reversed the basic meaning of many words. For example: fans, Leiren, leftover women, geeks, flash marriages, cups, etc. Even scholars of language and writing can't figure it out.
So, this "strange flavor" can also be called "flavor combinations", "gossip flavor", and the culinary industry to the strange flavor defined as "composite flavor type" is different. Composite flavor type" is the same. Readers may want to ask how strange flavor is a strange method? What is strange out of it? We are here to manipulate the God said, God said strange flavor origin.
Weird taste in Sichuan cuisine is a common flavor, that is, it not only has the flavor characteristics of common flavor, and originated from the folk family, or in the past, the streets, stalls set up store food and drink vendors, is a common flavor they play out. Odd flavor from when and how? Which is the first to play also come? I am afraid that no one can say clearly, there is no history of wild history can be found. But we can't conclude that from its emergence to date, at best, it is only seven or eight decades.
The origin of the strange flavor of the folk have two sayings, one said that the strange flavor of the earliest from a street stalls of cold chicken, about the 1930s, Sichuan Leshan Wang Lingguan street there is a sale of cold chicken, surnamed Zhou. At first his cold chicken named "Cuan (string) flavor chicken", because the first word is difficult to recognize the people in accordance with its pronunciation "string", called "string flavor chicken". As he mixed the chicken flavor is very special, neither the general red oil spicy flavor, but also more non-spicy flavor, eat up strange, can not say what the flavor, anyway, spicy, numb, salty, sweet, sour, fresh and fragrant taste all over the place. Some people therefore also known as "strange chicken". This is called the fame more and more called, became a household name in Leshan, the first name to eat.
Later, one of Zhou's disciples ran to Chengdu, in the middle of Qingshiqiao Street opened a "Jiading strange flavor chicken store", and soon spread the fame. At that time, Chengdu's most famous restaurant Rongleyuan's second owner, Lan Guangrong, found that this chicken is really a unique method of mixing, strange flavor, so Lan's old man often go to eat. At that time, the general stir-fry restaurants, lunch stores, cold dishes stalls are the street in front of the public operation. The blue old man is very easy to the strange flavor chicken seasoning and mixing method to get a clear understanding of the three. He was a famous expert in his field, and he could figure out all the tricks of the trade with just one look and one bite. So the blue two will bring the strange chicken back to Ronglei Park, slightly improved, added sesame oil and black beans, will be launched in Ronglei Park, since then Ronglei Park's strange chicken will be a hit, become a home specialties famous dishes.
(Yibin strange flavor chicken)
Sichuan Yibin also has a still famous "strange flavor chicken", but its origin is still Leshan. In the nineteenth year of the Republic of China (1930), a couple from Leshan, surnamed Li and Chen, came to Yibin and set up a stall on a small street to sell the chicken, which did very good business. Shortly thereafter, they set up store on Xiao Bei Street (now Xinsheng Road), and their fame grew, becoming a local specialty food that is on par with Yibin's Burning Noodles. Yibin this strange chicken and Leshan strange chicken and no difference, the same is spicy hemp salty sour sweet, mellow taste, rich texture, flavor, quite popular with the local public, and even many foreign merchants and tourists also taste.
However, the provincial capital of Chengdu, a "strange flavor chicken", that the Dragon Gate array is more mysterious. Said in the twenties, Chengdu South Gate Bridge Chen Jianglou restaurant, there is a usual eyesight is not very good, nicknamed Fu Blind cold food chef, once in the mixing of red oil chicken, because of the business is busy and fast, a look away from the eyes, the mistake of sugar as salt, vinegar as soy sauce, mixing a good taste of spicy, sweet and sour, the taste is not quite right, know that the whole of their own abduction. At this time, the hall on the urge, Fu Blind on the fight anxious to catch, will be wrong to the other several seasonings are added to change the sweet and sour taste, mix and then taste, taste strange, can not say what a taste, on the numb up the courage to serve on the table. Unexpectedly guests ate, quite a sense of this chicken flavor special, very strange, asked: "Fu blind, you mix today's chicken a bit of a hall of fame Ha, taste strange to the usual eat a lot different, called what it?" Fu Blind also answered: "You old really worthy of the old food family, it is called strange flavor chicken. The crowd listened to clap their hands and shouted: "strange flavor chicken, taste strange, name is also strange." After playing this Zhenjiang Lou Fu Blind's "strange flavor chicken" is famous in Rongcheng.
This is about the strange flavor of the chicken legend. This latter statement sounds more and more a lot of some far-fetched. The first one is also a certain basis. Since the beginning, Leshan this piece of Feng Shui treasure land on the food "three" said, that is: "Jia corrosion, elegant fish, Hanyang chicken". Its Hanyang chicken meat is particularly tender and delicious, so Leshan because of this Hanyang chicken will be out of several famous chicken dishes, in addition to the strange chicken, there are stick chicken, chicken, chicken, white slaughter chicken, pepper chicken, chicken, Barilla, so far are Leshan famous food, Sichuan cuisine dishes.

Idle talk about strange features
strange dishes for the Sichuan people, both on the table, but also idle food, eat, drink with the delicious. Sichuan people have always been still taste, what flavor, what flavor are not refused, strange flavor characteristics is an example. Strange flavor, whether mixed with chicken mixed with rabbit, originally is a small basket or small stalls selling food, Sichuan people say it is to eat fragrant, eat up to play things. The people initially called it "skewer chicken", meaning that this "strange flavor" to the flavor of a variety of seasonings strung together. Later, the taste of the mouth is spicy, fresh, salty, sweet and sour, all flavors and called "strange taste".
Weird taste said weird, weird in its belly, broad-minded, what materials can be tolerated, what taste can be added; also weird in the clever mix of salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, red oil chili peppers and peppercorns, wonderful with green onions, ginger, garlic, monosodium glutamate and sesame oil, mixing out the wonderfully strange, incongruous flavors and tastes, so that the flavor, flavor, wide, thick, thick, not only all the flavors in one, but also from the mix of flavors taste of spicy hemp, salty, sweet, sour, fresh flavor, fully embodies the flavor, and the flavor, and the flavor, and the taste is very good. The taste of the mixture of flavors can be tasted as spicy, numb, salty, sweet, sour, fresh and fragrant, fully reflecting the characteristics of "five flavors, a hundred fresh flavors".
There are three strange flavors: one strange is, breaking the rules of salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, red oil chili, pepper, sesame sauce, sesame oil, and even ginger, green onion, garlic, the basic seasoning of these Sichuan home-style flavor almost all exhausted, this is the material strange; two strange is, strange chicken or strange rabbit or, is a set of spicy, numb, salty, sweet, acidic, fresh and fragrant characteristics of the Sichuan home-style flavors in one, to eat a combination of home-style book, this is the first time that we have seen a combination of home-style flavors. Combination of homemade flavor Daquan, which is the flavor of strange; three strange is that the characteristics of strange flavor is also strange, as long as it is spicy, numb, salty, sweet, sour five basic taste to get it done, with what you add to the mixing of auxiliary materials, it does not matter, the basic flavor, that is, that the strange taste is always prominent and distinctive. So there are in which to add crispy peanuts, sesame noodles or cooked sesame seeds, there are also oil crispy soybean, edamame, and even add bad eggs, sweet sauce. Weird flavor is weird for weird, eclectic, the more you add the more weird, which is the attribute of weird.
Although the strange flavor is strange, but the strange is a board with eyes, a d have a trick. To modulate the strange flavor, how much various seasonings, how to put in order, how to blend, that is also very concerned about the rules and regulations. Odd taste is basically used for cold dishes, therefore, on the cold dishes, should be an empty bowl, first put sugar, vinegar to sugar solution, and then put salt, soy sauce to make it melt, taste salty, sweet and sour taste are not balanced, and then under the red oil chili pepper and the right amount of chili pepper, red oil should be more only to show the nourishment, color and lustre of the red bright; and then put pepper, MSG, so that the spicy sesame, salty, sweet and sour taste of the basic taste of the Qi, and then taste the taste of whether the balance and harmony is not appropriate to the appropriate modulation! Then taste whether the flavors are balanced and harmonious, if not suitable, then transfer as appropriate. After the basic flavor set can be added sesame sauce, sesame oil and mix evenly, this is mixed with strange flavor chicken or strange flavor chicken pieces of strange flavor sauce, mixed with green onion joints or green onion threads, sprinkle cooked sesame seeds, but add peanut kernels is not quite right. Mixed with strange flavor free Ding is not added sesame sauce, but to add chopped fine crispy soybean and black bean paste, directly with red oil, mixed with green onion section and crispy peanuts.
There are three things to pay attention to the modulation of strange flavor: one needs to be in order under the seasoning and stirring evenly; two is the chili pepper, pepper and vinegar must be selected quality flavor positive; three is the red oil must be spicy red. One of the three flavors is not good quality, the whole flavor characteristics will be greatly affected. Again, sesame paste should be first with sesame oil or blended oil dissolved diluted, and then put into the sauce and stirred evenly. Grasp these points, the strange flavor characteristics of the flavor is nine out of ten.

Talk about strange flavor
Strange flavor is a unique flavor of Sichuan cuisine, spicy and prominent, all five flavors. However, it is not as adaptable as the fish flavor. So far, strange flavor is mostly limited to cold dishes, and its flavor characteristics are only concentrated in the "strange flavor chicken" and "strange flavor rabbit ding" these two classic dishes. There are other things such as weird scallops, weird crispy fish, dried carrots mixed with flowers and nuts, and a few snacks, weird peanuts, weird beans (peas), weird peaches, weird cashews and so on. Hot dishes are almost difficult to have a strange flavor, the impression of some years ago, the famous chef Xiao see Ming engaged in a hot dish "strange flavor open edge shrimp" is very distinctive, eat mouth good. In recent years, some chefs have also made a number of attempts to develop a strange taste of crucian carp, strange taste of fish cakes, strange taste of lamb, strange taste of hoof, strange taste of fish, strange taste of hoof, strange taste of meat rolls and other hot dishes. There are also in the strange flavor to add curry powder, cumin powder, seafood sauce, oyster sauce, etc., which are not wrong, especially for some new or exotic ingredients is also a kind of experiment and innovation. But if you are doing the traditional weird flavor can not be so, to respect the tradition as well.
Weird flavors, because of its local personality and taste characteristics are very prominent, so it has not been like Ma Po Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, fish flavors like the wind and fire in Kyushu. But in today's almost national mountains and rivers once again red, spicy flavor of the same situation, the mountain does not turn water, maybe when there may be a fire up, popular in China, red countries. In the twenty-four traditional composite flavors of Sichuan cuisine, the most characteristic of the Sichuan family, fish, spicy, hot and sour, paste and spicy, strange flavor and other classic flavors, especially the most promotion and development of strange flavor potential, ready to go. The reason is simple, because it is distinctive, unique flavor "strange flavor".
