There are really many delicious foods in Fuzhou, Jiangxi, such as glutinous rice balls in Fuzhou. I haven't seen them before in Bian Xiao. Haha, this moldy tofu is really produced in many places. This moldy tofu is really suitable for southerners. I still remember a documentary that Bian Xiao once watched. Speaking of it, Grandpa Mao is also very good at this, and he especially loves to eat. Let's learn about different foods in Fuzhou.

How much have you eaten, seen and heard of traditional Fuzhou cuisine?

Guan Tang jiaozi

Also known as "well-cooked jiaozi". Well-made jiaozi has a strong taste and is very soft, especially when the soup is paired with jiaozi. In the past, I used to walk around the streets with poles and shout. There are very few people selling jiaozi in the alley now, almost none.

Mildew tofu

In addition to many pickled pickles, homemade moldy tofu is a specialty of Fuzhou. When I was young, I didn't care about this moldy little tofu. Until I grew up, I was not used to eating outside without Chili. I will take out a piece of moldy tofu made by my mother and gently dip it in a few mouthfuls. The feeling of stimulating taste buds is my deepest memory of my hometown. Nowadays, a small piece of moldy tofu has become an indispensable delicacy for ordinary people.

Huanxi meatball

This kind of cooking food is often cooked at home on holidays. Soak glutinous rice all night. Meatballs are added with auxiliary materials, such as mushrooms, water chestnuts, fungus and sometimes salted egg yolk. After steaming, the taste is waxy and the meat is not greasy. From the luxury of childhood to the ordinary now, this traditional cooking food in my hometown has always been there.

Steamed meat

This traditional cooking food is made of pork belly with skin and spiced steamed pork rice noodles. Steamed meat is waxy and fragrant, crisp and refreshing, fat and thin, tender but not greasy, and rice flour is oily and full of five flavors. According to the cooking method, common home-cooked dishes can be supplemented with minced meat, lotus root, pumpkin, sweet potato and other side dishes, which are delicious when steamed.

Ruyi cake

We always call it "Ye Yi Cake". This traditional food is similar to Ciba, and it is also made of glutinous rice flour. It tastes soft and chewy, especially decorated with osmanthus and sesame seeds, which tastes sweet. This kind of cake is cold and easier to keep than Ciba. In fact, sesame potatoes packaged and sold on the market now are similar to wishful cakes.

Filled sugar

This kind of childhood luxury candy can't be eaten until the Spring Festival every year. The sugar core of filling sugar is divided into sesame peanut core and soybean powder white sugar core. Sugar looks beautiful, and the thin icing bites it down, which is fragrant bean powder and sesame seeds, and the lips and teeth remain fragrant.

steamed sponge cake

I remember playing outside with my friends when I was a child, always holding a cake in my hand. I chewed hard, and the faint milk smell, sweet taste and endless aftertaste. Hair cake is also an ancient traditional biscuit. Whenever there is a happy event during the festival, it will be wrapped in red paper and distributed to those who come to congratulate.

Cool melon skin

Watermelon peel and grapefruit peel have always been very popular in Fuzhou. In the season of eating watermelon, watermelon skin has become a treasure on the table of Fuzhou people. Ordinary people will soak the melon skin in water and fry it. Hard-working housewives will dehydrate it, dry it in the sun, pickle it with pepper, seal it with salt and keep it until the next summer. When I was a child, my grandmother would pickle some food in summer, smelling the fresh fragrance of melon skin and the spicy taste of pepper, which made me have an appetite.

pocket

Fuzhou people prefer to call it "pockmarked". It is not only a traditional food that Fuzhou people love to eat, but also a traditional rice cake snack that Jiangxi people love. The taste is soft and glutinous, dipped in sweet flour and bean powder, and it is delicious to eat a few mouthfuls while it is hot. Ciba used to be delicious only at festivals and festivals, but now you can eat it if you want, but now the mechanism in the street is not as delicious as before.

Lotus root shredded sugar

The appearance is like white lotus root silk winding, which is famous for its sweetness, crispness and crispness. But sweet but not greasy, crisp but not broken, beautiful in appearance, instant in the mouth. The production technology of lotus root starch sugar is not easy, and the main technical difficulties are boiling sugar and drawing. When painting, as in Lamian Noodles, the sugar drawn by skilled workers is as thin as hair, long and continuous, and the entrance is sweet.

Frozen rice sugar

Frozen rice candy is famous for its silvery white as snow, sweet and crisp, and it melts in the mouth. Although the manufacturing method is simple, the technology has reached the state of perfection so far. Good rice candy needs sesame seeds, peanuts, popcorn and so on. Fry in time, and then mix these ingredients with glutinous rice maltose to form.

Bean powder jelly

Fuzhou dialect is called "fairy rice cake" You must have water soaked in grass to eat bean jelly. That taste is unique, especially in hot summer. Eating a bowl is good enough for a while. Of course, pure fairy rice cakes are generally only available to farmers, and it is not easy to make them, but they will definitely make you memorable.

steamed cake

This is a special snack, made of glutinous rice, glutinous rice and sugar. Steaming with eating, no need to wait, soft and sweet, suitable for all ages. Usually, the operator carries a burden in the street to make a shape, and puts it in an iron container cake mold with the most primitive operation method to steam a cake like Bai Meihua. Unfortunately, there are few streets now.

Orange cake

Also known as kumquat cake, it is made of oranges and sugar. It tastes delicious, refreshing and appetizing, and has high nutritional value. Orange cake used to be a first-class snack, usually made only in winter, but now young people are not interested in orange cake.

Wick cake

The predecessor of wick cake is actually the "cloud cake" we usually eat. I don't know when it started, the master found a new way, adding some white sugar and high-quality sesame oil to the "cloud cake" which was very popular in the market at that time, cutting it into thin strips and naming it "wick cake". White and soft, cool and sweet, spinning in circles, lit with fire, emitting pure osmanthus fragrance.

Beef offal

This is a fresh, spicy, tender and not greasy dish. It is a delicious dish full of Linchuan talents. It has enjoyed a high reputation since ancient times. There are many kinds of beef offal, and all cows can eat it. Such as tripe, intestines, liver, whip, tendons, bones and feet, can all be made into delicious dishes.

In the ancient town of Shangdun crossing the Millennium in Linchuan, beef offal is an article worth writing, which makes Linchuan talents compete with each other.

Vegetable straw

"Food is everywhere, and vegetable stalks are irreplaceable". It is not an exaggeration to use this sentence to evaluate vegetable stems. Linchuan vegetable stalks are as important as the title of "gifted scholar" in the minds of talented people who have left their homes. Many talented people who study abroad often eat Linchuan vegetable stalks as snacks. Moreover, it has a very poetic name: "Acacia peduncle", which also means that you can't stop eating it. I ate one and thought about the second one. Although it is very spicy, it tastes cool, very spicy and appetizing!

rice noodles

After talking about so many traditional cuisines in Fuzhou, we finally have to serve our rice noodles in Fuzhou, no matter which county we are in, whether it is soaking, mixing, cooking or frying. Rice noodles occupy an unshakable position in Fuzhou people's breakfast. Perhaps no city in China has such a love for rice noodles as our small town.
