It is said that Chaozhou cuisine and snacks can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, they became extremely important foods at that time. Even Han Yu wrote Chaozhou cuisine: "... Zhang Ju Ma Jia Zhu, so it's strange. The rest of the dozens, momo sigh "poem. Later, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chaozhou cuisine entered its heyday, with many old brands and various categories in the city. Until now, it is said that Chaozhou has more than 100 kinds of snacks, which has become a treasure trove for travelers to yearn for food.
However, among the numerous Chaozhou snacks, Pony likes to eat the following four kinds of snacks, which are worth trying by friends who come to Chaozhou for the first time.
Giblet kway teow
During my trip to Chaozhou, my favorite is probably beef strips with beef offal. Before this, I seldom heard of this snack. However, watching the boss's skillful movements, I suddenly have a sense of familiarity. Put the seasoning into the soup bowl, put the kway teow and bean sprouts into the boiling water pot, drain the soup and put it into the bowl, then blanch the beef offal and put it into the bowl, then add the most authentic secret beef bone soup, and finally sprinkle with toppings such as onion, ginger, minced garlic and beef. At this time, a most Chaozhou dialect "Special Snacks" was released. While eating kway teow and beef offal, there is a fresh soup base, not to mention how delicious it is.
verjuice
In Ma Xiao's mind, the second place of Chaozhou cuisine is soup, which is heavier than the soup base of kway teow, and tastes a bit like the soup base of Hu spicy soup. Although the ingredients are similar to those of kway teow, you will add bitter juice, and some heavier toppings will be added to the toppings, such as fat sausage, braised eggs, mushrooms, pickled mustard tuber and so on. If it's a strong snack, my juice will definitely surprise you.
Where do travelers eat? Yin Da Street and Kaiyuan Laoqi are highly recommended.
Steamed vermicelli roll
There is also a tour in Chaozhou, and breakfast must be delicious. Rice rolls in Chaozhou is generally divided into two flavors: sweet and salty. Pony prefers salty rice rolls. The making method is very simple, and an authentic Chaozhou rice rolls can be made in 2-3 minutes. Although the time is short, but all kinds of ingredients, such as beef, pork, shrimp, Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts and so on. , can be added in a short time. Add all kinds of ingredients to the prepared rice rolls peel, put it on a plate and pour the sauce on it. Rice rolls in Chaozhou is different in that it often uses peanut butter and sesame sauce.
Where do travelers eat? Chaozhou has many places to eat rice rolls. Pony prefers A Min rice rolls and Haiyang rice rolls. In fact, it's delicious to find any one, so you don't have to choose too many.
Yamama dough twists
If you like dessert, you must not miss the mother duck twist. Although its fame sounds a bit like a meat dish, it is actually a sugary food. The ingredients are mostly tremella, lotus seeds, sweet potatoes and lilies. The most authentic food in a day belongs to the white glutinous rice balls in the middle, which are super delicious.
Where do travelers go to eat: There are many shops in Chaozhou, and most of them choose Hu Rongquan, a shop among online celebrities, but personally, it tastes ordinary here.
