<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" >: Pancake rolls with scallions. </h1>
If you want to sort Shandong cuisine, pancake rolls and green onions are the most appealing. Pancakes with a strong grain flavor, rolled with Shandong's unique Zhangqiu scallions, and smeared with a little sauce, this taste is unique to Shandong.
Take a bite, the green onion is sweet and slightly spicy, crisp and tender and delicious. The pancake tendons are chewy, and the rich multigrain flavor is mixed with a hint of sweetness and aroma. Coupled with the salty flavor of bean paste or soybean sauce, it is delicious. This taste is not only a feature that Shandong people never forget, but also can provoke the taste buds of outsiders who come to play.
Pancake rolls with green onions, pancakes are the most important to ignore. In Tai'an, Linyi, Zaozhuang, and many other places in Shandong, the most traditional methods of pancake making are still preserved.
Use stone grinding to grind millet, or corn and other grains into noodles and mix them into batter. Then scoop the paste onto the hot spoon, and then spread it evenly back and forth with the stick, and cook it in minutes and you can eat it.
As Pu Songling said in his "Pancake Endowment": "Round in the moon, as big as a copper zheng, as thin as the paper of the creek, as color as the plume of the yellow crane." "Indeed, cooked pancakes are like this. A large, round sheet, very thin, with the most primitive color of the grain itself.
Rolling green onions is only standard, and rolling up a little pickled toon is even more delicious. Coastal cities can also roll up some salted fish, which is even more grounded.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="78" > two, horse head (tide brand). </h1>
When you first saw the name, did you think it was something you could eat? Or is it a fashion item?
Horse head (tide brand) is a signature food from Matou Town, Tancheng County, Shandong Province, which is actually a kind of hanging oven baked cake, also known as Horse Head Baking Brand.
Because the shape after baking it is very similar to the wat board used by the ancient ministers when they went to the court, the locals called it "chaopai". Until now, there is a more fashionable new name "horse head (tide brand)".
It has high requirements for the heat, the temperature is too low to be scorched, and the temperature is too high to be easy to paste. Only at the right temperature can you bake a two-sided golden, crispy and fragrant scone with a mouthful of fragrance.
In addition to the original flavor, you can also add some green onions, or add some sugar, or add some meat foam, or add some sauce, or add some plum vegetables, etc., to become a different flavor of scones.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="79" > three, Yuxi Shi tongue. </h1>
In the Rizhao and Jiaonan regions of Shandong, there is a shellfish seafood called Xishi tongue. Because of its tongue-like texture and its white and delicate texture, it is called "Xi Shi tongue".
The taste of Xi Shi tongue is delicious and very tasty. Remove its shell, take its flesh, just blanch it with boiling water, add the clear soup after fishing it out, sprinkle it with some coriander, or minced leeks, drop a drop of sesame oil, you can be very tasty.
For the Xishi tongue made by this cooking method, the locals named it "Xishi Tongue". And this dish has also been rated as one of the "Top Ten Classic Dishes in Shandong", which is enough to show that Shandong people love it.
In fact, in the Qingdao area, we also call it "bird shell". In addition to the above way of eating, we blanch it in boiling water and eat it with horseradish as sashimi, and the taste is also delicious.
Come to Shandong, be sure not to forget to taste this delicious oh!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" > four, chaotian pot. </h1>
For friends who like to eat meat, Chaotian Pot is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for you to come to Shandong. It is a special food in the Weifang area, a pot without a lid, heart, liver, intestines, belly, meat, all complete.
Contrary to what Mr. Su Dongpo said, "It is better to live without bamboo than to eat without meat." This is the most accurate statement for carnivores! Call it elegant and not elegant, first eat the stomach comfortably and then say! That's right, this is the Chaotian Cauldron!
To eat the chaotian pot, in addition to the meat to be cooked fragrantly, cooked badly, you also need to have a single cake. The bread here is different from the pancakes, which are very strong but soft and are usually made of white flour.
When eating, roll all kinds of meat boiled in the pot in the cake, and order pickle lumps, or green onions, coriander, etc., which are beautiful. Stuffed in the mouth, it is completely the pleasure of "big meal".
Therefore, when you come to Shandong, if someone introduces you to the delicacy of "Chaotian Pot", don't be shaken by the name. That's right! This does refer to eating, not a pot. It's just meat cooked in a pot without a lid and eaten in a single loaf of bread.
The above 4 kinds of cuisine, no matter which one, actually have common characteristics:
First, it seems inconspicuous, different from the concept of food we talk about in ordinary days, but it is food. Second, no matter the taste or appearance, they are authentic and grounded, like the character of Shandong people. Third, they are not as famous as Texas grilled chicken, Beijing roast duck, and Guangdong white cut chicken, they are hidden in various places in Shandong, and we need to discover them little by little.
However, when it comes to taste, you really don't need to think too much about it. Delicious, tasty, grounded! Worth tasting!
