China's land is vast, which is doomed to be different in each place, and the food culture in each place is also different. For example, glutinous rice, in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, the most popular way to eat is to make rice balls, wrapped in fritters to eat together, and in Nanning, Guangxi, people's favorite way to eat is with button meat, sausage, sauerkraut or mung bean paste. Today we want to introduce you to Nanning's well-known sticky rice with button meat.
One side of the water and soil to nourish the taste of the other, water street has always been the old town of Nanning, the most able to reflect the taste of old Nanning. Huaxingli, near Nanning Water Street, is an old alley full of feelings, which still retains the red brick low buildings of the 1970s and 1980s, which are particularly unique against the background of the surrounding high-rise buildings. Speaking of Huaxingli, many people may not have heard of it, if it were not for the fact that there is a more famous sticky rice with button meat, I am afraid that fewer people know about it, even if they pass by, they will not deliberately walk in.
This old button meat sticky rice, just about 50 meters in the alley, walk to the alley can see the wall painting of the alley wall, wall painting and the atmosphere of the alley can make people feel the thick warm old Nanning fireworks atmosphere. The owner is a 60-year-old grandmother, who has been open here for more than 20 years, his own house has been converted into a storefront, the outside of the small shop retains the original roadside alley characteristics, a bucket of sticky rice, a pot of button meat, two low tables, and some ingredients on the countertop are all of the small shop. But I have to say that this humble little shop is a hot business, and every day when you arrive at the restaurant, the door is always crowded with people. Many people eat from the small stalls without signs to the current Internet celebrity shops, and now they find not only the surrounding neighbors, but also many tourists from other places.
It is said to be a small shop, but in fact, it is a small stall on the landing of the first floor of the residential building, there is a small square table and a low stool at the door, the dining table in the store is a long stainless steel table against the wall, which is very clean, and there are fans and air conditioners in the store, and it will not feel hot. The dining environment is indeed a bit simple and simple, but when you sit down and sit in such an old alley shop, you can more or less feel some of the taste of the city, which is the taste that those palatial high-end restaurants can't eat.
Grandma is old, now receding behind the scenes, every time I go before, I can always see her busy figure, people are very warm and kind, not the kind of old Nanning customers are more famous on the temperament of the store. Now the shop is said to be the niece of grandma, the service attitude is also very good, the reception of each customer is very patient to ask the meat to be fatter or thinner, if you pack and take away will tell you how to heat it back.
The most "luxurious" version of her family's sticky rice is sausage button meat sticky rice, 16 yuan a bowl, a piece of fat pork buckle meat and an oily sausage covered on the sticky rice, the color is shiny, it looks very tempting. The sticky rice with single buckle meat is 11 yuan a bowl, although it looks quite small a bowl, but in fact, the portion is very sufficient, plus the glutinous rice is not easy to digest, and the amount of rice is estimated to be small.
The most brilliant place of the button meat sticky rice is the glutinous rice, the glutinous rice she uses is particularly oily, a bowl is full, each grain of rice is overflowing with crystal clear rice oil, the rice grain is round and full, a bite will be more elastic than other rice grains, and it is dry and smooth glutinous rice will not be greasy. The meat with the buckle is very large, fat and lean, stewed just right, the taste is soft but not rotten, slightly chewy, and it is very satisfying to eat. It can be eaten and boiled together with ingredients such as chicken skin fruit and curd milk, and the taste is rich, fat but not greasy. Sticky rice is also topped with a spoonful of button broth, and there are free side dishes in the restaurant, so it's not too delicious to go with!
"Fireworks in the world, the most touching mortal hearts", this twenty-year-old store, now by the major food blogger Amway, let people linger is the old store's unchangeable original intention and taste. It spreads not only the food, but also the taste of the memory.
