It is deeply loved by people for its delicious color, fresh color, high quality and low price. It is not only spread across urban and rural areas of Lushan, but also across counties and provinces. Many places across the country have signs saying "Lushan Hot Pot Dishes".
Twenty years ago, a young man named Yang Genxian opened a fast food restaurant. At that time, he basically used the names of dishes from other places. Yang Genxian is very good at using his brain, thinking about it, and summed up an experience. If he wants to make his own store business prosperous, he must have a flavor dish that is both popular with ordinary people and has local characteristics. So he set his sights on chowder. However, traditional chowder dishes have simple ingredients and rough workmanship, making them unsuitable for the table. Yang Genxian devoted himself to research and found the best ingredient plan. After repeated experiments, he finally figured out a new set of cooking and recipe techniques, and euphemistically called it: "Lushan Languo Cuisine".
Compared with "Chowder", the name of "Languocai" not only inherits the ancient tradition, but also enriches the cultural connotation. It also shows a sense of innovation, is fashionable, novel, concrete and vivid. As soon as the signs of Yang Genxian Lushan Languo and other fast food restaurants were unveiled, they immediately aroused widespread attention from all walks of life. For a time, they were crowded with customers, who were all tasting and learning. In less than half a year, restaurants of all sizes in Lushan’s urban and rural areas have added this recipe with their own local characteristics.
Lushan Languo cuisine has exquisite ingredients and high nutritional value. The main ingredients are meat, tofu, vermicelli, bracken and seasonal vegetables. When buying big meat, only select the upper ribs of free-range pigs, which do not contain any additives, and only take more than 5 kg per pig. The meat is lean, tender, tender, and delicious. Tofu is braised in oil, which is different from fried dry tofu and ordinary white tofu. It is yellow in color, white in color, and moderately soft and hard. The vermicelli is made from local high-quality vermicelli, which is soft and chewy, chewy on the inside and cooked on the outside. The meatballs are made of deboned pork mixed with sweet potato starch, deep-fried, yellow and crispy. Bracken is an authentic mountain product, crisp and tender, with a long aftertaste. Of course, green garlic moss, yellow daylily, white cabbage, and red potato are also indispensable. All kinds of dishes are mixed together, which is really colorful and has both colors and shapes. The seasonings used in Lan Guo Cai are Sichuan Pixian bean paste, Guangdong dark soy sauce and the finest Sichuan peppercorns and peppers, as well as special spices prepared from dozens of Chinese herbal medicines such as angelica root, cinnamon, tangerine peel and amomum villosum. The combination of east and west, earth and foreign, combines Sichuan flavor and Lushan flavor to form a delicious meal with unique flavor.
