The one who can make you turn your head and leave may be the grade director who appears around the corner;
Maybe it's the one who shows up at the corner coffee shop that you don't want to say " long time no see" ;
But the deadliest is definitely the 0.8 shown on the canteen swipe machine.
Whether it is a student party or an office worker, whenever you can't afford to eat in the canteen, can't afford to order takeout, and have to "eat soil", don't panic, there will always be a sauce that can soothe your soul.
And those days of eating with sauce as a meal are even more nostalgic and fresh in their memories.
辣酱篇—Who is the queen of 辣酱
1. "National Hot Goddess" - Old Mother
"A drop of oil seems to have pierced my taste buds; a bean, as if holding my soul; a chili pepper, as if burning my calories."
It is a legend in the world of hot sauce, which has gone through vicissitudes and still dominates one side. On the chili sauce within ten yuan, it is definitely the first choice.
The English name The Godmother, also known as Angry Lady, the Chinese kneeling to call it: Old Gan Ma!
The old dry mother may not be the most extreme in taste, but it must be the most in line with the public's taste.
Familiar packaging appears in almost every household, on the dorm desk, and even on the bookshelf in the classroom!
The old dry mother who is red in the black and black in the red can not only sandwich the steamed buns, but also serve with rice and mixed noodles.
The hot white steamed bun is sandwiched with salty and spicy old dry mother, and when you take a bite, the long-sealed taste buds are instantly opened. Steam some rice, cook a bowl of noodles, and then spoon the old dry mother, save time and money, and you can also have a full meal.
All things can be matched with bread, and all things can be.
Break a piece of bread, unscrew the cap, scoop down a spoonful, and the spicy pepper and the salty aroma of tempeh will come to your nose.
Spread the chili sauce evenly over the buns, and from then on, the buns and the old dry mother became another pair of delicious fullness.
I remember when I was in the inner high school, every day of the bun, I could always smell the scent of the old mother in the corridor.
To be fair, Lao Gan Ma is not the most delicious chili sauce, because there is also Lao Gan Dad mushroom shiitake beef sauce, chili chicken shredded sauce, garlic minced meat sauce...
But the most evocative thing is the snow lotus pepper shreds.
2. The taste of beiting capital - snow lotus pepper shreds
If you have been "lucky" to be tweaked by the local spicy fried rice noodles in Xinjiang, you know what "half hook hell, half tongue tip heaven".

But when you meet snow lotus pepper shreds, it is completely different. Compared with the "hindsight" of fried rice noodles, snow lotus pepper shreds are more like the warm sunshine on a sunny day, gentle but not irritating.
The clear red, bright, colorful and fragrant snow lotus pepper shreds not only have the flavor of chili sauce, but also have a good food supplement effect.
The chili sauce is basically chili meat, the meat is thick and good, the taste is fragrant but not greasy, and the more chewy, the more fragrant, the mildness of the spiciness and a hint of sweetness, and this sweetness is the fermentation of Xinjiang's unique hot sauce.

You know, Xinjiang not only has snow lotus pepper shreds, but also Anjihai's red peppers, Yanqi's big red peppers, as long as they fall into the hands of Xinjiang people, they will certainly not be able to get rid of the fate of making spicy skin noodles.
The magnificent scene of drying peppers on the Gobi Desert can just express the psychology of Xinjiang people: "We eat not peppers, but a kind of feeling." ”
The fiery monolithic appearance hides a variety of functions that are lesser known.
Red pepper contains a variety of vitamins, about twice as much vitamin C as green peppers, more than nine times more vitamin A, with super antioxidant capacity, proper consumption can also reduce fat and lose weight, improve the heart and so on.
Flower Jam - "Who's Big Brother"
If Xinjiang people seriously eat breakfast, the style is no less than the morning tea in Guangdong, and there are several kinds of sauces just dipped in.
1. Rose sauce
In Xinjiang, the most popular addition to the snow lotus pepper shreds is rose sauce.
Every year in May and June, when the roses are in full bloom, every household in the Hotan area is making rose sauce.
White sugar and rose petals give off a sweet smell under several pounds.
During the busy farming season, naan and rose sauce became the first choice of most people in Hotan.
The family sat together, a stack or two of bread on the table, and the sauce at the bottom of the rose sauce plate shone pink.
Dipped in rose sauce, nagging, smiling like a blooming rose, the heart is sweeter than rose sauce.
Don't pick up the energy when dipped? Then spread the sauce on the naan and roll it up and eat it!
Feel the sweetness of the flower sauce bursting out of your mouth, leave a mouthful of fragrance, and experience the real "aroma of spitting".
Sweet but not greasy, fragrant and rich, rose sauce with its sweetness, left in the taste buds and memories of countless people.
2. Marin sauce
In early summer, rural children receive a gift from nature – marlin fruit.
Marlin fruit, scientific name raspberry, also known as raspberry, Kazakh "Tangulai".
Marlin fruit is the pleasure of some people when they are young, and they can eat sweet fruits without spending money. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to experience the pleasure of picking again.
Marlin fruit is red like agate, eaten like strawberries, and the marlin sauce made is sweet and sour.
Spread on bread and buns, take a bite lightly, and let the refreshing and delicious sauce slide in your mouth, very satisfied.
The encounter between yogurt and marlin sauce is another delicacy.
Thick yogurt with refreshing marlin sauce, the taste can only be understood, indescribable.
The happiest thing in the world is to buy a bowl of handmade ice cream on the streets of Ili or in a bazaar in the hot summer, and then pour it on the marlin sauce and eat it in a big mouthful.
3. Apricot sauce
"Harm, there is something strange about apricot sauce." But Xinjiang's apricot sauce is not ordinary apricot sauce, because...
Xinjiang's apricot sauce is made of Xinjiang apricots - Xinjiang apricot sauce.
As the "old star" of making apricot paste, Xinjiang apricot has conquered the taste buds of most people with its soft and juicy, fleshy, sweet and sour taste.
After several hours of curing, the orange-yellow flesh blends in with the sugar, flowing out of the orange apricot juice, which is then simmered over a slow heat to form a thick jam.
The encounter of sugar and fruit prolongs the deliciousness and warms up the happiness.
The multi-flavored jam adds endless possibilities to the breakfast of Xinjiang people, dipping bread, spreading bread, soaking water, and a drop of homemade jam carries the warmth and love between the family.
The soul delicacy nurtured by snow water - fish meat, caviar
The ice bubbles of Lake Sailim are breathtaking, and beneath the ice, a flock of tall white salmon is growing freely.
Wild organic high white salmon imported from Russia with a growth cycle of up to three years.
The clear snow water, pure natural bait, and unique conditions make the high white salmon meat delicious and nutritious.
The fish sauce made from high white salmon has a delicious smell and delicate sauce, and when eaten in the mouth, it has a crispy feeling after frying, and a texture like spicy chicken cubes.
Whether it's rice noodles, steamed buns, rolled flatbreads, just put a little fish sauce, the taste will definitely make you admire.
Caviar, also known as "caviar", means fish eggs in Persian.
The caviar of Sailim Lake is very fresh, soft in the mouth, and the salinity is suitable without fishy taste.
Sailim Lake has pleasant scenery all year round, if you can't go to Sailim Lake for a full eye, then let the fish roe sauce and fish sauce from Sailim Lake take you on a trip on the tip of the tongue, a full meal!
The royal family wrote in "Food for Heaven": "The people regard food as heaven, happiness and joy come from food, and wisdom is born." And the gifts, respect and rewards of the world have always been endless and overwhelming. ”
