In fact, the Wuwei Wo wild thousands of miles at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor is rich in products, and the cuisine is also harmonious and self-contained.
Acid - Wuwei dough skin
In the Chinese's food customs, there has always been a saying of "eastern salty and western sour", and northwestern people are known for their vegetarian sour taste. Known as half of the Wuwei food industry, that nature, indispensable Wuwei noodle skin. Wuwei dough skin is both vinegar-heavy and spicy, which is unique from other dough skins (or "stuffed skins").
As a flour-made food, Wuwei dough is to separate the flour from protein and starch through a brewing and filtration process, and then steam it into gluten and translucent dough. When eating, it is poured with a special flavor soup, which is sour, spicy, smooth, flexible and delicious, and is very popular with diners in Wuwei.
In addition, Wuwei cold powder has a wide variety of flavors. Common ones are white cold powder made of peas, black cold powder made of buckwheat, yellow cold powder made of lentils, soybeans, and broad beans, green cold powder made of mung beans, potato powder made of potatoes... White is as transparent as jade, yellow is like egg yolk, black is like qingdai, and it has a unique regional color and fragrance style.
Sweet - sugar oil cake
The ancient literati single-mindedly and stroked one stroke at a time, and wrote their affection into chapters, so they had the majestic, heroic, and tragic border plug style in "Liangzhou Words".
Like people, food has an aura. Some food is warm and boiling, with a hint of noise, there are also some cheerful and arrogant, against the smell of human fireworks, breathing through the mountains and rivers, steaming; some food is quiet and cool, with a hint of arrogance, there are also some soft, fragrant, pure and delicious; there are also some foods that are dense and dense, with a long aftertaste, wrapped around the tip of people's tongues, warm and light, sticky but not greasy, as if suddenly blooming, you can smell its fragrance, you know its texture and square inches.
Speaking of sugar oil cake, I believe that every Wuwei person is particularly familiar with it, the color is golden, the skin is crisp and soft, the oil is not greasy, the fragrance is sweet, and it is suitable for all ages. A small sugar oil cake, clip one into the mouth, a light bite, the sugar inside will flow between the lips and teeth, sweet and silky, and then chew the skin, fine and not greasy, evocative...
In winter, a hot sugar oil cake is crisp and sweet, which can be said to be happiness on the tip of the tongue!
Salty - flax salt roll rolls

Spicy - churn the dough
As the saying goes, it takes 360 stirrings. To make the dough, you have to hold the flour in one hand, hold the rolling pin in the other hand, pour the flour evenly into the pot of boiling water, stir continuously, stir until there is no dry flour, and then inject a certain amount of boiling water, use the rolling pin to make a ball, and when it boils and bubbles, stir vigorously until there are no small particles. The second time it is injected with boiling water to heat, after cooking, the last time it is stirred well, a pot of stirring dough is made.
The point is, if the churned dough is to be delicious, it must be mixed with garlic and pepper, garlic mashed into garlic paste, take hot oil, pepper noodles and sesame seeds, the same with cooked oil, soft glutinous churn dough with mixed spicy, all kinds of tenderness with uninhibited wildness, that taste, simply a martial arts!
Because with three meals a day, life has a taste. The taste of Wuwei is as mellow as a flax salt roll, which is reassuring and down-to-earth; it is also as delicious as a churned dough, which also means reunion; and it is as rich as a crisp and sweet sugar and oil cake, and the aftertaste is still there. And the sour and spicy dough, the sweet and sour smoked vinegar... In addition to being stunning, carefully tasting, these tastes are still solid in the end, it is the taste of Wuwei, light and fragrant, with historical memory, long and long.
