The fragrance of wheat in the ancient capital has a thousand-year charm, and a bowl of burning noodles tells the story of Chang'an
The bells ringing in the early morning and the drums ringing in the evening are nothing compared to the burning bowl of pasta in the stomach. This slang circulated on the streets of Xi'an tells the story of the everlasting bond between Shaanxi people and pasta.
When people turn their attention to carbohydrates as a scourge for the so-called "efficient weight loss", they ignore the ancient capital of Xi'an, known as the Thirteenth Dynasty. The foundation of its dietary civilization was laid by those seemingly ordinary grains.
In this land, pasta has crossed the line of just filling the stomach. It is a vital inheritance from the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties. It is deeply imprinted in the blood of Guanzhong people and is a symbol of regional diet.
Qin Feng and Qin Yun are condensed in the noodles, and authentic food can be found in Sanyuan
Speaking of things that are called "Shaanxi landmark delicacies", we have to mention what is praised as the "living fossil of Shaanxi pasta", that is, "Mihara Polygonum Flower Candy", as well as the dietary concepts and ideas behind this delicacy. However, apart from that, what is closer to daily life and can better demonstrate the ingenuity and ingenious use of "carbs" is the food called "thousand-layer pancake" placed at "Sanyuan Lao Huang's House".
Its traditional production process can be called a dance on the fingertips.
The flour ground from high-quality wheat from the Guanzhong Plain is selected, which benefits from the generosity of nature and is the fundamental foundation for the formation of regional characteristics. The question "How can regional characteristics be the foundation?" is a misinterpretation of the original meaning of the sentence. The original sentence emphasizes the foundation of regional characteristics, rather than saying that regional characteristics are the foundation itself. If you forcefully rewrite it according to the question format, it will destroy the logic and original meaning of the sentence, so understand and rewrite the original sentence as required.
The dough needs to be kneaded. This kneading has the requirements of "three soft and three hard". After repeated rolling and pressing, it can be as thin as cicada wings, and although it is thin, it has full toughness.
The chefs quickly apply customized vegetable oil on the dough, then apply seasonings. Then, they roll and plate the dough in a clever way, and then put it in a pot for steaming.
When it comes out of the cage, the Thousand Layer Pancake takes on a pagoda-like shape. When you lift it up, it looks like a golden thread, and when it falls down, it looks like a chrysanthemum. Each layer of it is so thin that light can pass through. When it comes to flavor and taste, it has the characteristics of softness and chewiness. The aroma of wheat and oil blooms one after another in the mouth.
This is not just a snack, it is a landmark gourmet hot word that has always been prominent and important on the public breakfast table in the Miyuan area. It also carries the taste memories of many generations.
Its existence has powerfully countered the one-sided understanding that "staple food is the enemy" and proves that the integration of grains and wisdom can create a healthy and beautiful diet.
The thousand-year-old capital is fragrant in water basins, and mutton steamed buns are the hometown.
If you want to push the charm of Xi'an 's staple food to the extreme, it must be mutton steamed buns .
This famous dish, known as "the first bowl in Shaanxi", can trace its historical origins back to the food category called "ox and sheep soup" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has become a popular trend in Chang'an City during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Su Shi's poems such as "Long cuisine has bear wax, Qin cooking has only sheep soup" are the most appropriate explanations of its authentic and authentic nature.
Its production is a solemn ceremony.
The food is called "Fu Fu Mo", which is a dough cake. Diners have to break it into pieces with their own hands. The pieces are as big as soybeans. This is a process of dialogue with food and a unique way for old Xi'an people to spend their time.
The chef working in the back kitchen, according to the size and hardness of the steamed buns, combined with the mutton from the local area of Shaanxi and the unique seasoning products, first used a high temperature fire called "Wu Huo" and a relatively low temperature small fire called "Slow Fire" to alternately cook this action, so that the soup full of fresh flavor can fully penetrate into the inside of the steamed buns.
The finished steamed buns made by "mao" pay attention to "the soup is determined by the steamed buns, the soup is wide and the steamed buns are strong, and the soup is half and half."
When you taste it, the mellow aroma formed by the intertwining of wheat and mutton awakens all the senses in an instant.
Served with sugar garlic and hot sauce, the taste is richer.
For manual workers, it is a way of replenishing energy; for literati, it is a cleansing item on the tip of the tongue; and it is also an indispensable part of the cultural normative expression of the city of Xi'an.
