Do you want to know about the four great cuisines in Qinghai?

One of the special snacks in northwest China is oats or highland barley. In Lanzhou, Tianshui, Xining, the ancient city of Qinghai Plateau and agricultural areas all over the country, you can see the unique folk snack "sweet gluten". Sweet steamed bread is one of the cold-resistant and early-maturing coarse cereals in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it is a flavor snack made from highland barley. There is a smooth proverb circulating among the crowd: "Sweet glutinous rice, old man's saliva, two appetizers in one bowl, three bowls and four bowls of rice."

Sweet fermented grains are simple to make, nutritious and appetizing. Xining people not only care, but also visit relatives and friends. It is indeed a unique snack on the Qinghai Plateau. In Xining and agricultural areas, except for vendors, most people of all ethnic groups produce sweet distillers' grains. The sweet granules are made of high-quality raw materials, the wheat grains are full, peeled clean, cooked moderately, the raw materials are moderate, the temperature is accurate, and the granules are white and tender, such as meat. This dish is mellow at one end, and the imported fermented grains are thick and soft, which is fragrant and delicious after dinner.

Dogs in Qinghai water.

Dog watering urine, also called dog pouring oil cake. Pasta which is very popular in Qinghai. Fried pancakes with rapeseed oil. There are "half-baked noodles" and "no noodles" with only a little yeast. Put bean powder (ground with bean leaves), pepper powder, salt and other seasonings on the white flour cake, and burn it on the oil with a pointed oil pan, like dog urine. People who come to Qinghai for the first time can't understand what the word "dog urine" means. They only know that it is a kind of pancake, but they don't know why it has such an "indecent" name. Due to the geographical and climatic conditions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, wheat and highland barley are the main food crops in Qinghai Province. Therefore, the local people's diet is mainly pasta, and "dog watering urine" is one of them.

Although the dog's name is not elegant, it does not affect its popularity at all. You know, it happens all the time. Why are pancakes called "dog water"? One theory holds that it is made in a special way. When welding "dog blood drenching water", pour a little green oil around the pot (vegetable oil produced in Qinghai, which Qinghai people affectionately call "clear oil") and pour the oil repeatedly. This action is similar to that of ordinary dogs urinating, so some people call it "dog watering".

In the Tujia family, the hardworking boss often takes a little time to wait on Huang Chengcheng's dog to feed him urine, so that you can have a cake and a cup of fragrant milk tea. Many restaurant guests will solemnly recommend dog watering, first, because the cake is golden and beautiful, sweet and soft, and second, to satisfy guests' unexpected curiosity to explore and experience Qinghai cuisine. During the 20 10 World Expo, dog urine participated in the World Expo as a snack with Qinghai flavor. Because the name was indecent, it was changed to "Qinghai cabbage cake".
