Ningxia travel gourmet
Ningxia cuisine is mainly based on northwest pasta, which has the most halal characteristics. Because agriculture is developed, vegetables and fruits are richer than Gansu, and rivers such as the Yellow River are all over the region, so fresh river fish are worth tasting. The main edible meat is beef and mutton, and the big markets in all counties kill live sheep, and all kinds of mutton dishes can't be tasted. Traditionally, Hui people are not exposed to alcohol and tobacco, so more traditional Muslim restaurants do not provide alcoholic beverages. However, most people in the northwest drink alcohol, and the local low-alcohol wine and fruit wine are pure in taste, but they should be controlled.
Braised mutton offal: unique flavor. The production method is as follows: the viscera, head and hoof of sheep are carefully washed, cooked in a boiling pot, taken out and shredded. Add the fried chop suey into the original soup, and add onion, ginger, minced garlic, spicy red oil, monosodium glutamate and coriander to make stewed chop suey. The red one is Chili oil, the green one is chopped green onion coriander, and the milky white soup is below the oil color. Take a sip of fresh soup and eat fried chop suey, which is not greasy and mellow.
Steamed mutton: Ningxia mutton is tender and delicious, and has no smell. Mutton had better choose breast fork and upper spine, chop it into rectangular strips, wash it in cold water, put it in a bowl, and add ginger, onion and garlic. Add a few raw peppers and steam in a cage for about 30 minutes; Then buckle into the soup plate and serve with vinegar, garlic juice, salt and other seasonings.
Crispy chicken: Yinchuan local flavor snack, characterized by crisp and tender. Practice: First, remove the bones from the cooked hen, tear the chicken into strips, mix well with salt, sesame oil and monosodium glutamate, use 3 egg whites, add half starch and half white flour, and mix well; Pour half of the foam paste into the flat plate with clear oil, then put in the chicken strips, and wrap the chicken strips with the remaining half of the foam paste. Put the wrapped chicken strips in a 70% hot oil pan and fry them until they are white and yellow, then take them out, cut them into 2 knives and 3 strips, cut them horizontally, put them on a plate, and dip them in salt and pepper to eat.
Gaiwancha: The local people call it Tuanzi, and the northwest people drink more Gaiwancha. Even the teahouses in Gannan Tibetan areas supply covered bowls of tea and pay attention to bowls with three batteries. The most important thing, of course, is that tea is different from rock sugar. Other ingredients include medlar, Elaeagnus angustifolia, red dates, walnuts, raisins, longan, plum and other nourishing products, which are called eight-treasure tea. The water for making tea should be boiled water, which is called "peony water". The zongzi tea produced in Linxia and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of Gansu Province is the most authentic. It would be a pity if we didn't taste this feature. Eight-treasure tea bags in shops should be 10 yuan, and tea houses and restaurants should be 2 yuan/bowls. Water is free, but really good tea tastes better if you drink it two or three times.
