Baoji is a prefecture-level city in Shaanxi Province, generally we say that Shaanxi's cuisine is inseparable from noodles and spicy, Baoji is naturally no exception. Below I will introduce the most characteristic local food in Baoji, if there is anything missing, you are welcome to leave a message to add
1. Roll out the dough skin of Baoji
Baoji's so-called rolling dough skin in other places we generally call it cool skin, but in Baoji's words, do not recognize the cool skin only recognize it as a dough skin, which is also one of the characteristics. Due to the different methods, Baoji dough is divided into steamed dough, rolled dough, and baked dough, but without exception, it is very delicious.
The practice of steaming the dough is more troublesome than it is necessary to put the reconciled dough in water and knead it repeatedly until all the starch in the dough is kneaded off, and the remaining sticky thing is what we often call gluten. Baoji locals use these to knead the remaining flour water, then put it on a special steamer basket to steam, and then roll out the dough skin one by one.
Rolling out the dough skin requires steaming the dough soft but not steaming, then rolling it out with a rolling pin when the dough is still hot, and finally steaming it again. Eating method is also more common, generally speaking, add spicy seeds and other seasonings to mix well and eat directly.
If you burn the dough skin, you need to cook the batter directly, and it is relatively thinner than the rolled dough skin, but the taste will be more muscular and easier to taste.
2. Bean blossom steamed buns
This kind of thing is estimated to be only available in a place called Fengxiang County in Shaanxi, anyway, I have not seen this kind of thing in other places, and it is generally used as an early breakfast in the local area.
The method of bean blossom steamed bun is also not too complicated, requiring the store to make a large pot of soy milk first, and then use the boiled soy milk to cook our more common white steamed bun slices. Wait until the bread is cooked soft, plus the more common kind of smooth and tender soft bean flowers, the condiments are generally chili oil, small pickles, etc., the overall taste is mainly salty and spicy.
If you are a part of the people who like sweet tofu brain, then it is definitely not recommended to try this; if you are a group of people who like sweet tofu brain, I still very much recommend trying it, it is really special and delicious.
3. Meat belly sandwich steamed buns
Meat sandwich bun is very famous in all parts of Shaanxi, and can even be used as one of the representative foods of Shaanxi. I once went to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, to eat local meat sandwich steamed buns, usually marinated meat and minced peppers; meat is generally fat and lean, so that it is fragrant. Finally, the minced meat is sandwiched in a white steamed bun with a crispy skin, and the taste is endless after taking a bite.
In Baoji meat sandwich steamed buns, there have been some new changes, they did not use brine but chose meat buns; first the store first made the meat buns, and directly sandwiched the meat buns into the baiji buns when the customers bought. The most important point is that they will add vinegar to the meat of the white steamed bun, if you don't like to eat sour things, then it is not recommended that you try it.
Baoji also has many other specialties, such as deer cake steamed buns, donkey meat, golden thread oil tower, Baoji tea crisp, pot helmet and so on. If you come to Baoji, you must not miss these local delicacies, which are guaranteed to make you eat lingering and sneaking around. [White Eyes]
