Fujian cuisine expert: Fuzhou people can eat sweets very much.
A master who has been cooking Fujian cuisine for more than 20 years in Fuzhou once said: Fujian cuisine is like a person, and the original intention of a knife maker is never to put it on a flashy shape. Cooking methods make good use of sugar and use sweetness to remove fishy smell; Clever use of vinegar to make it sweet and sour; The taste is light. As a variety of Fujian cuisine, Fuzhou cuisine will naturally make good use of sugar.
Not to mention fried litchi meat, drunken spareribs, fish and red wine, just sweet and sour sauce bibimbap can make people eat two bowls at will!
At every family dinner in Fuzhou, Fuzhou people always take taro paste as dessert. Early Fuzhou people even put sugar into their hearts when frying noodles and rapeseed, which proved Fuzhou people's dependence on sugar.
The sweetness of Fuzhou cuisine comes from the reading materials of sugar making in Yuan Dynasty, and the reason for the sweetness of Fuzhou cuisine is actually related to Fuzhou specialty "sugar". According to the information provided by netizens, due to the cultural exchange between the East and the West in the Yuan Dynasty, Fuzhou had the highest technical level in sugar production in the world. Fuzhou has become a major sugar-producing area. "Fuzhou people love to eat sweet. In the 1970 s and 1980 s, almost every kitchen was equipped with' Dianthus' white sugar produced in Fuzhou. " Middle-aged people in Fuzhou now have some sweet memories when they recall their childhood. In 1980s, Fujian sugar industry once created three firsts in Fa Ya, namely, per mu yield of sugarcane, per mu yield of sucrose and profit of 10,000 tons of sugarcane.
There are many unique sweets and snacks in Fuzhou, which reflects Fuzhou people's love for sweets.
"Ga" has a firm meaning in Fuzhou dialect. This is also proved by the sticking of peanut crumbs and syrup. A small box can make your cheeks sour, but the more you chew it, the more addictive it becomes!
Ball cake
The swastika pattern used by the Nazis is very special. When I was a child, I tried to eat only the white part and leave a pattern! But it never worked. It was disgusting to be vomited and eaten ... Well, it was really a childhood memory!
Lardy cake
The name makes people think it's a big piece of lard. It's disgusting. In fact, it's just a small piece of white inside, and some of them have onions added. It tastes really oily, but the oil has melted after processing, and it is definitely not greasy!
honeydew melon
Your parents must have told you when you were a child that eating too much sugar is easy to get angry. But winter melon candy, they think it's completely fine. Is it because of the clear smell of wax gourd?
Flower sugar
In fact, each one is a peanut with a thick sugar coating! Some people like to crush sugar and peanuts to eat together, while others like to eat peanuts and sugar together. How do you like to eat them?
maltose
When it comes to maltose, Fuzhou people will definitely think of the slogan "Blind people bury it (maltose sells)". It's a pity that fewer and fewer people are selling sugar in iron drums now.
Snowflake cake
Every snowflake cake is made and cut, not cut. You can tear it off and eat it piece by piece, or you can just break a big piece boldly.
Bazhen eight treasure rice
Add sugar, raisins and black sesame to glutinous rice, and every bite is sweet! I have to say that the disadvantage is that rice is too sticky, and you have to eat it with a spoon if you can't pick chopsticks. ......
tangyuan
There has been a long debate about which is sweeter and which is saltier, glutinous rice balls or Yuanxiao. In my impression, Fuzhou seems to call sweet dumplings and salty dumplings Yuanxiao.
Peanut soup
Peanut soup requires boiled peanuts not to rot, but to melt in the mouth. Like the famous "Toothless Peanut Soup" in Fuzhou, even the elderly without teeth can really drink it!
Layer cake
After the sugar is heated and melted, it will penetrate into every layer of the thousand-layer cake, and it will be very sweet when you eat it! But be sure to eat it while it is hot. When it is cold, the sugar and flour will be hard and the taste will be much worse!
Yang Su
With peanuts and sugar as raw materials, the powder is sweet. I only want to eat a dime at a time, and I have to carefully wrap the paper back after eating.
"Mouse", a short and small thing, is also called "inch jujube" in some places. There are two different names, one is soft to bite, the other is hard to bite, but both are sweet and crisp.
Fried rice with lard
White fried rice, yellow peanuts, black sesame seeds and marble patterns are a major feature of lard fried rice. And the mixed fragrance of these three things, I promise it is the most fragrant among all kinds of sweets!
Brown sugar rice cake
Compared with white rice cake, brown sugar can be eaten directly or fried. Many people think that the color of red rice cake is more in line with the lively holiday atmosphere.
Steamed sponge cake
Hair cakes are very popular in all areas of Fuzhou, including bowl cakes, yellow rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes. Evaporation cake is soft and sweet, and it doesn't lose western cakes at all!
Money cake
This is the best candy oven cake. Crispy taste and sesame fragrance can be eaten in minutes. However, its name is cake and it tastes more like a steamed bun.
Blow up "Mouse Boy"
Stir-fried "mouse" is fried with skin made of sweet potato and stuffing made of sugar peanuts, but it is not the same as "inch jujube" I just don't understand why I have such a big grudge against rats. ......
Lingjiao cake
Using horseshoe powder as raw material, I like the one with some horseshoe pulp in it! The sweetness of water chestnut neutralizes the greasy taste, which is very good whether it is just cooked and eaten hot or chilled ~
The sour and sweet taste is the characteristic of Fuzhou, and the taro paste is very representative, also called hot ice cream. Eight-treasure rice is also a must for banquets. The upgraded version of Babao taro paste is to combine two kinds of food, which can satisfy two tastes at a time.
Water chestnut cake, playing Q and adding horseshoe powder are sweet memories of childhood.
Fried sweet rice cakes, which used to be eaten only at China New Year, have now become a dessert at banquets. The fried skin is crispy, then sprinkle with syrup and sprinkle with a colored chocolate needle while it is hot.
The blessed state is sweet first!
Sorry, I'm from the northeast, and I don't know the eating habits of Fuzhou.
