Introduction to this issue: Henan's most famous ten noodles, each of which is the favorite of Henan people, how many have you eaten?
I often see people on the Internet asking, where do people like to eat pasta the most? Some people say that it is a Shaanxi person, some people say that it is a Shandong person, I think the first person in the list should be a Henan person, why do you say so? Empty mouth, let's look at the group data together. Henan's cultivated land area ranks second in the country, while wheat planting area accounts for more than half of the total cultivated land area, and the total output of wheat accounts for more than 20% of the country, which has always been the first in the country. In addition, one-third of the country's instant noodles, a quarter of steamed buns, and seven-tenths of dumplings are produced in Henan. Isn't this set of data enough to illustrate this?
Of course, the data belongs to the data, seeing is true, Xiaobian last year due to work reasons in Henan is a big circle, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Xuchang, Shangqiu have been to stay, the streets and alleys of these cities have also been visited, it can be said that everywhere can see a variety of pastry snacks, this is what I have not seen in other places. Today skinny monkey will talk to you about the top ten noodles in Henan, each of which is the favorite of Henan people, Luoyang famous pulp noodles on the list, have eaten quasi-authentic Henan people, see how many you have eaten?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="45" > one: pulp noodles</h1>
Pulp noodles, also known as sour noodles, are the traditional food of Luoyang, Henan. Mung beans are beaten into a pulp, then fermented, and when the fermentation is dissolved or the pulp is strong, the noodles are cooked with this pulp. After cooking, add your favorite ingredients, and it tastes a little sour.
However, this pulp noodle is estimated that only locals can eat habitually, for those of us who are foreigners, many people can't accept it, just like going to Beijing to drink bean juice before, it is really impossible to drink, and this noodle is the same.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" > two: fried buns</h1>
The fried bun originated in the ancient capital of Kaifeng, which has a history of hundreds of years. In fact, the fried bun is not only opened, I have seen it in many other cities, but the process is different in different places, and the seemingly simple fried buns actually have a lot to do with the filling, the heat, the oil temperature, the flour and many other aspects. Kaifeng this fried bun tastes crisp but not hard, fragrant but not greasy, golden on both sides, just look very appetizing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > three: steamed dumplings</h1>
Henan's most famous steamed dumplings are Cai Ji steamed dumplings from Zhengzhou City, a very famous local noodle snack. Mr. Cai Shijun, the founder of Cai Ji Steamed Dumplings, was a helper chef in the Beijing Imperial Palace in his early years, and after leaving Beijing, he came to Zhengzhou and opened the Cai Ji Steamed Dumpling Shop.
The production process of Cai Ji steamed dumplings is very exquisite at every step, and the steamed dumplings are thin skin, bright color, full filling and delicious.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" >4: Soup buns</h1>
Henan's soup bun is the most famous in Kaifeng, with a history of more than 100 years. I have also eaten a lot of soup buns in other places, but compared to the open soup buns, the skin is thinner, more filling, the juice is fuller, and it is more fragrant. In Kaifeng, there is a saying that the soup bun is "first open the window, then drink the soup, and then full of flavor".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" >5: Double hemp fire</h1>
Double hemp fire is also a traditional famous food in Kaifeng, Henan, and can generally only be bought when eating breakfast. It looks a bit like our side of the burnt cake, but the process is much more complicated. Sesame seeds are made first, then crispy, then skin noodles, rolled out until formed, and finally baked. Freshly roasted fire has a crispy texture and becomes more fragrant the more you chew.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" >6: Leek box</h1>
Leek boxes are not the same as leek boxes we sell in some places, don't get confused. Hand-rolled dough, wrapped in leek head as the main ingredient of the filling, and then put into the pan kang to both sides of the golden brown, the dough skin foaming as well, eating caramelized crisp, in the morning many roadside are sold.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" >7: hot corner</h1>
Hot noodle corner is a very famous snack in Luoyang, Henan Province, this dish looks similar to steamed dumplings, except that the dumpling skin is blanched with boiling water, then rolled out, wrapped and then steamed. The skin rolled out in this way is very chewy after steaming.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" >8: flowering buns</h1>
Every year at the winter solstice, the people of Xinxiang, Henan, will queue up in advance to buy flowering buns, which seems to have become a custom. The legend of the flowering bun is the most favorite noodles of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang when he was a child, if you want to steam the flowering bun is not easy, you must have less water, less fermentation, more dry powder, more sugar, hard noodles, and large firepower, so that the steamed buns can bloom.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > nine: radish shredded cake</h1>
The main ingredient of this pastry is the same as the peony swallow vegetable in Luoyang, Henan Province, which is made of shredded radish. Wrapped in a rolled dough and then fried in lard until golden brown on both sides, it tastes not only with the caramelized aroma of the dough but also with the clear aroma of radish. This noodle dish is a must-have staple at many banquets in Henan.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" >0: Egg cake</h1>
Egg cake is a traditional famous spot in Xinyang, Henan Province, and is very popular in the local area. However, I also saw in Luoyang that there were master carts for sale, and I also saw teachers do it, which can only be made by craftsmen, and ordinary people can't make the bread bubble, let alone pour eggs into it. The freshly fried egg cake crust is crispy, and the aroma of the egg inside comes from a bite, which is indeed a good pastry.
The above is the top ten noodles in Henan, although I am not from Henan, but most of these noodles have tasted, except for the pulp noodles are not used to eating, the rest I think are very delicious.
