Chengdu is a beautiful city, rich in products, beautiful scenery, slow life, suitable for the elderly, Sichuan people are witty and funny, and helpful. It's basically a "what do you want" city. Since ancient times, it has enjoyed the reputation of "Jincheng Small Food Jia Tianxia". Chengdu has a long history of various snacks, with hundreds of varieties. The ingredients used include rice, noodles, grains and fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, cooking rules steaming, frying, baking, soup and so on, so it has the reputation of "A world". Just like Sichuan cuisine, the taste is heavy on hemp, spicy, sweet, hot, if you can't eat spicy, remember to remind the store to put less pepper.
Xiaobian sorted out the top ten snacks in Chengdu to feast on everyone. If there is any deficiency, welcome to correct! Rankings are in no particular order.
Shoulder noodles
As the name suggests, it is the noodles that are sold on the burden. In the past, those vendors used to knock coconuts while selling, and locals could not help but go out of the house to find out whenever they heard the sound of "tuk tuk tuk". It is usually just dry mixed Yangchun noodles, which are specially used as ingredients to win; or add dried meat and chicken soup to become chicken soup dandan noodles. Noodles are generally made of thin noodles, but the ingredients are made with seven different oils and four different ingredients. The seven oils are: chili oil, pepper oil, sesame oil, mustard oil, fennel oil, garlic oil and chicken oil; the four ingredients are green onion, ginger, pepper, winter vegetables (or dried sauerkraut).
Lai Tangyuan
Lai Tangyuan was founded in 1894, when there was a vendor named Lai Yuanxin, in Chengdu Lai Tangyuan to sell tangyuan along the street for a living, the tangyuan made is not only thin skin, but also delicate and moist, filling with black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, peanut kernels, walnuts, ice oranges, bean paste and other more than ten kinds, sweet and delicious. Rijiu became famous, so he opened his own shop and opened his own business, and took the name of "Lai Tangyuan".
Lai Tangyuan is characterized by non-rotten skin, no filling, no mixed soup, and when eating, it is not sticky chopsticks, non-sticky teeth, and not greasy, which can be said to be the pinnacle of the production of tangyuan! Its secret is to mix glutinous rice into the rice to make a powder ball, so that it can not be cooked for a long time, and the more it is cooked, the more elastic it is. The sesame filling is filled with chicken fat, so the taste is soft and sweet. It can be soaked in soup or eaten dry with sugar and tahini.
Dragon scribe
The Sichuan people call wontons the scribes, and the dragon scribes are the best of them. The origin of the name of the shop is because the three guys once discussed opening a copy shop in Chengdu's "Strong Flower Tea Garden", so they took the name of "dragon" with the harmonic sound of "dragon", which has the meaning of "dragon" leaping tiger leap and prosperous business. The skin of the copy they made was thin and tender, smooth and fragrant, and the soup was thick and white, and soon they were alone in Rongcheng. The secret is to mix only pork hind leg meat with filling, while the soup is seasoned with pepper, ginger, sesame oil, Sichuan salt and chicken fat.
Couple lung tablets
There is an interesting allusion to the origin of the couple's lung tablets. It is said that at that time, there was a couple named Guo Chaohua and Zhang Tianzheng who made and sold spicy beef lung slices for a living. The two went out early and returned late, working hard to operate, from the basket to selling, setting up stalls to recruit customers, to open a store operation, and finally broke out of the brand name. They used beef hearts, tongue, tripe and beef without using any of the lungs. In order to distinguish it from other lung tablets, they called themselves "husband and wife lung tablets".
Bean blossoms
Chengdu's bean blossoms are the tofu brains of the northern population, although the ingredients are the same, but chengdu's bean blossoms can be salty or sweet, spicy or intoxicating, can be paired with sauerkraut, steamed buns, fruits... In Chengdu, the popular bean blossom eating method is not the usual pattern, and the tofu brain in the north is slightly monotonous. In Chengdu, bean blossoms are a must-try snack.
Longan bag
Chengdu's longan bun is a very old traditional snack in Sichuan. It is made by kneading the dough after fermentation and kneading sugar and lard, so the flour is slightly sweet, in fact, Shuzhong began to grow sugarcane very early, and when the pepper did not reach Sichuan, sweetness was the taste that the mainstream of Sichuan people pursued.
The meat filling is the meat of the front and back legs of the pork, the rich chicken juice obtained from the stew and the mushrooms of the mountain treasures, which are mixed and stirred into a fragrant meat filling. The entrance is fragrant, and the taste is not to mention how delicious it is.
Three cannons
The three cannons are a traditional snack in Chengdu, which belongs to the small food that can be eaten and played, which is very in line with the humorous and witty characteristics of the Sichuan people. The snack is mainly made of glutinous rice, because when throwing glutinous rice balls, the three cannons are like "projectiles", emitting a "dang, dang, dang" sound, divided into "iron cannon", "artillery", "gun cannon", so the name is generally called "three cannons". When eaten, it is accompanied by "Lao Yin Tea", which has a unique flavor. The three cannons have the characteristics of sweet and delicious, non-greasy, non-stick and slagged, and the price is cheap and good. The main ingredients of the three cannons are glutinous rice, brown sugar, sesame seeds, and soybeans, which have a sweet taste.
Bell dumplings
In Sichuan, dumplings will not be a staple food, but just a snack, so northerners in Chengdu should not think that its portion will be too much. Zhong Shui Dumplings, ancient name "Water Corner", is a traditional snack in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, the dish was founded in the nineteenth year of Guangxu, because the initial opening of the store is located in Lychee Lane and seasoned with heavy red oil, so it is also known as "Lychee Lane Red Oil Dumpling". The dumplings are stuffed entirely with pork, without other fresh dishes, and served with special red oil. Its dumplings are thin-skinned, tender and delicious, so it is famous in Sichuan.
Rabbit head
In all of China, no city's beauty will love rabbit heads like Chengdu beauties, rabbit heads are a must-order food for Chengdu people to cool off under the heat, especially in the summer, you can see places selling rabbit heads all over the street. The flavors are five-spiced, spicy and so on. The way to eat is to separate the upper and lower jaws of the head, and then suck carefully while sucking, all the taste is in this sucking, especially the beauty of Chengdu to eat, it is simply a unique street scenery, mouth-watering.
Cold noodles
Finally, let me talk about the cool noodles that can be seen all over the streets of Chengdu. Lao Tzu said, "The road is simple, but the big coincidence does not work." ", probably only Chengdu's cold noodles this flavor snack, to do small to see the big bar! A bowl of soul-stirring cold noodles, a spoonful of red oil, converging into a seductive aroma, let people instantly secrete a lot of saliva, after eating, Do not forget ah!
Using the simplest ingredients to make the most complex and intoxicating taste, it is estimated that only Chengdu people can have such a show of wisdom. Confucius said, "When I heard Shao qi, March did not know the taste of meat, and said: 'Don't be happy as far as Si Ye is concerned.' "Confucius heard extraordinary music and could forget the taste of meat. And only Chengdu's cold noodles can make you remember its taste for three months.
In Chengdu, most restaurants have these snacks, and if you find one, you can get them all out. However, Xiaobian still advises everyone not to be lazy, if you want to eat Chengdu's snacks, it is best to open your legs, personally go to the streets and alleys, looking for these delicious snacks, so as to truly understand the flavor of Chengdu snacks.
This is what Xiaobian said about Chengdu's top ten cuisines, there are definitely many snacks, Xiaobian does not know. It is better to invite everyone to leave a message in the discussion area and go to Chengdu to taste one or two!
