The Eight Bowls of Xianju is an orthodox recipe for entertaining guests and friends of the Xianju Han people in Zhejiang Province, which is divided into four bowls and the next four bowls: "the upper four bowls" are the appetizers, and the "lower four bowls" are the next meals, which are composed of eight local dishes.
Using local high-quality ingredients and the chef's exquisite craftsmanship, the mouth-watering eight bowls can become full of color and flavor: lotus seeds, Xiangzi sea cucumber, Zhong Li bowl meat, Guo Uncle bubble fish, Dongbin big fish, iron abduction knocking meat, Xiangu meat skin bubbles, Guolao tofu.
Are you as curious as Xiaobian, how can the names of these eight dishes still have a relationship with the eight immortals? In fact, there is a small story behind this eight bowls:
According to legend, when the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, they angered the Dragon King of the East Sea, and the Eight Immortals fought for a long time without victory, and they were tired and hungry, so they went out to look for food. The Eight Immortals suddenly smelled a very fragrant smell in the air, only to see eight people from a family sitting around a square table, guessing fists and drinking, looking delicious.
Therefore, the eight immortals came to the human world, and the hospitable xianju people invited the eight immortals to sit down and drink and eat vegetables. At that time, the Eight Immortals arose, and one person made a good dish (that is, lotus seeds, Xiangzi sea cucumber, Zhong Li flipped bowl meat, Guo Uncle Pickled Fish, Dongbin Big Fish, Iron Abduction Knocking Meat, Xiangu Meat Skin Bubble, Guolao Tofu) to celebrate. In order to commemorate the eight immortals and seek good fortune, xianju called the four-square table "eight immortals table", sitting eight immortals, serving eight dishes, which has been passed down to the present.
Of these eight dishes, the more special ones are pickled fish and knocking meat. The bubble fish is fried from a dough cake wrapped in dried salted fish to the outside and tough on the inside, and the knocking meat is really made by knocking the meat pieces flat and knocking loose.
The bowl of meat is actually a large piece of fat braised meat, and the white lentils known as "lotus seeds" are a dessert, so if you have a chance to go to Xianju, you must not miss it.
Tofu dumplings
The production of meat balls is actually available everywhere, but according to the selection of materials and production methods, they are different from place to place.
What makes Xianju tofu balls special is the brine tofu that goes well with pork. Brine tofu has been making in Senju for a long time. It is more tender than ordinary tofu and does not have the odor of gypsum tofu.
The pig is a pig fed by mountain people with sweet potatoes and radishes, and the meat quality is more fragrant and energetic than that of ordinary pork. Therefore, Xianju tofu round with these two as ingredients, it can be said that the strengths of the two are vividly played.
Hand kneaded into a viscous paste, take a ball and wrap the fried meat filling, the aroma of soy products and pork aroma is perfectly integrated.
In addition to paying attention to raw materials, Xianju people also have their own set of sayings about the method of making tofu, round the circle, which is an expectation of family harmony, but this circle can not be made into a rolling circle, but a slightly flat circle, which is intended to warn family members not to be complacent and to continue to unite and work hard.
Heat the iron pot, put a little lard, warm the oil, put the meat round, fry over medium heat until the surface is golden brown, add ginger slices, green onion white and a little local old wine, fresh and fishy, add a bowl of mountain spring water, simmer for about 10 minutes, sprinkle with green onions, out of the pot.
After the pot is drizzled with soup, the highest state of the tofu meat ball is full of soup, loose but not scattered, take a bite, full of fresh flavor.
Chai leaf tofu
This kind of tofu is also known as "fairy tofu" in Xianju, and although the name has the word "tofu", it actually has no bean ingredient at all. The raw material of this dish is the leaves of a wild shrub that can be found everywhere in the xianju mountains, the "Kannon Tree".
Legend has it that during the famine years, Guanyin sprinkled nectar on willow branches and grew clusters of green trees. People picked leaves and added grass and wood ash to make tofu to eat, surviving the famine, and the name "fairy tofu" came from this.
This plant does not have all seasons, sprouts long leaves in the spring, and flourishes in the summer, emitting a refreshing fragrance that is stronger than orchids. From ordinary leaves to a boxy piece of tofu, the process is not complicated.
Wash the leaves in the stream and rub them. The leaves are juicy and rich in pectin in the juice. The juice that comes out of the kneading is boiled and when it is cooled, it will solidify into a soft lump, similar to cool powder, and the color is emerald green, like emerald.
After cooling and solidifying, it is usually changed to a large cube like tofu, which is easy to store and cook.
There is no limit to eating, like to eat hot, just take it fried to eat, like cold mix, add a little sugar is a dessert, like salty wrapped in garlic paste, add salt and soy sauce to mix a bowl of sauce poured on.
Yong'an Creek Fish
Yong'an Creek is one of the eight major river systems in Zhejiang, originating from Xianju. When you go to Xianju, you naturally have to eat Yong'an Creek fish. Because of the good water quality, the fish here are particularly delicious.
This kind of stream fish, which likes to live in the crevices of the rocks in the water, has black stripes on its body, and its flesh is thicker and more tender than that of ordinary brook fish, and the taste is delicious, and the fish spines are soft and few.
Among the various types of cooking methods, only the "braised brook fish" is the most unforgettable, which is characterized by a strong soup flavor, boiled in oil and braised brook fish, the fish bones become crisp and soft, the fish meat is delicious, and the aftertaste is endless.
There are also some local restaurants that will grill the brook fish together with the salt brine tofu, the brook fish is first fried until golden brown on both sides, the salt brine tofu is sliced and then cooked, the fresh flavor of the fish, the tenderness of the tofu, the combination of the two has an indescribable subtlety.

In fact, this bowl of rice, there is nothing particularly exquisite, what is the roast of what cabbage salted sour rice, green vegetable salted sour rice, lettuce leaf salted sour rice, vegetable sour rice salted sour rice, cowpea salted sour rice... What dishes are fresh in the season, what kind of salty and sour rice is cooked, which not only satisfies the appetite but also gets the welcome of the stomach and intestines.
About this bowl of Xianju people's favorite rice, its origin, Xiaobian also helped everyone find it:
Legend has it that during the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a great drought in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there was no harvest of grains, and the Xianju was the most serious, and the imperial court sent Wu Jian back to his hometown to relieve the disaster, passing by an old woman's home, and the old woman learned that Lord Chincha had come to the disaster relief, but there was no good dish on the table at home. Only half a bowl of rice and half a piece of bacon remained, and some taro stewed to make a bowl of rice, but Lord Chincha ate it with relish. Asked what kind of rice it was called, the old woman casually said "salty sour rice", and since then the salty sour rice has spread in the land of Xianxiang.

Rice must not be cooked, after the soft lying sticky, the taste is not good, but also to rinse cold water to cool the rice, fried salty sour rice will be clear.
A bowl of salty sour rice and a bowl of rice soup are the sense of ritual that should be had when eating salty sour rice.
