Just when many people are preparing to travel and return to their hometowns to visit their relatives on the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day, the outbreak of this round of epidemic in Fujian makes people feel nervous.
And for a foodie, autumn is the season of eating oyster frying!
Although this autumn for foreign tourists, I am afraid that it is difficult to have the opportunity to go to the local area, but the footsteps can not reach us, we may wish to think through the taste buds.
# A richer food treasure than Taiwan's night market
Zhangzhou, Fujian, may be a little strange to many people, but the local people say that "play in Suzhou and Hangzhou Erzhou, eat in Zhangzhou, Fujian"!
Here, dozens of pieces can eat happy snacks everywhere: brine noodles, bean blossoms, hand-grabbed noodles, pot edge paste, oyster frying, spring rolls, vermicelli, earthen shoot jelly... Hungry hands grab noodles, thirsty four fruit soup, and then a bottle of sugarcane juice with a piece of papilla grass ~ ~
When you eat Zhangzhou, you find that the whole of Taiwan has to stand on the side. After all, Zhangzhou, a small fujian city, is the "originator" of Taiwanese snacks!
The monuments and old branding of the small town are like familiar neighbors, the environment of idleness and congestion, coupled with cheap prices, 100 pieces can sweep the streets and eat!
This small city, like Tainan, exudes a strong taste of ancient and early, and the People of Zhangzhou, who live with gourmets per capita, have had the wisdom of relying on mountains to eat mountains and seas to eat seas since ancient times.
Because the sea water of Zhangzhou Port is clear, the water quality is excellent, and the water temperature is maintained between 15 °C and 25 °C all year round, it is extremely suitable for the growth of marine life, including many fat and smooth sea oysters:
Every season, fishing boats laden with sea oysters are booked out before they reach the Zhangzhou Port Wharf, and become a favorite dish of Minnan people - oyster fried (oyster frying).
In addition, nourished by the sea breeze of Zhangzhou and soothed by the sunshine, the seasonally limited Dongkui Bayberry has also appeared!
With the purple and full flesh, silently tempting everyone to tear it apart and swallow it, just take a bite, sweet and burst the pulp
The fresh and raw seafood, coupled with the thick flesh of the Dongkui bayberry, has become the most attractive food business card in Zhangzhou. Let's let Sohu travel send a shopping and eating strategy, don't step on the thunder!

Tapioca flour is made into a powder pulp with water, wrapped in oysters, eggs, chives and other ingredients and fried into a cake shape, and those who like to eat spicy can be accompanied by some chili sauce.
Many people know about oyster fried from Taiwanese food programs. One well-founded theory is that Taiwanese oyster fry was brought into Taiwan with the migration of Zheng Chenggong's army and Fujian and Chaoshan immigrants.
Zhangzhou oysters are fried with rice milk, so that the fried oysters are more crispy, while other regions use sweet potato powder, and the oysters are soft and wet to eat.
Zhangzhou oysters fry crispy method is also unique, plus pickled radish slices on the side, eat a few bites dipped in sweet and spicy sauce oysters fried, crispy skin plus the sour sweetness of radish slices, fresh and refreshing.
Freshly fried oysters are golden in color, crispy in the skin, soft on the inside, and take a bite while hot, tender and delicious, oily but not greasy. When you first take it, it feels slightly crisp, but after a moment you can feel its delicacy and softness, and you can't stop taking one bite after another!
