That's right, the editor can't be idle again. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a stroll and eat, and now I want to go to the small but beautiful cities in southern Fujian to spend a leisurely day.
When I was tangled, I was shocked by the beautiful pictures released by this photographer friend. It is located on the eastern coast of Fujian - Ningde Xiapu .
Xiapu is located in the northeast of Fujian Province, on the northwest coast of the Taiwan Strait. When you hear the name, it is a beautiful marine county.
Here, everything is close to nature. On the 505-kilometer winding coastline, the sunset is full of clouds, and the mudflats are blooming with golden light, this magical sea area makes me yearn for it.
It has been listed in National Geographic for many times and is known as "International Beach Photography Resort".
Even during the fishing season, the umami of Kasumigaura does not stop.
As the hometown of kelp in China, kelp production accounts for more than one-third of the country's production. The hometown of the big yellow croaker, the only large yellow croaker in the country, the inner bay spawning ground has taken root here.
In addition to the strong umami of Jingmei, there is a food kingdom hidden here.
The Minnan paste that has been featured in "Breakfast China", the must-eat three sand and three exceptions, the fresh and bursting sea oyster cake, the salty sweet potato cup, the soul-catching paste soup, meat dumplings... Not to mention the endless variety of beachy seafood.
Convenient transportation, Ningde high-speed railway 25min! Fuzhou used to be just over 1 hour, and Hangzhou also has a direct high-speed rail. It's a good weekend to pick the weather.
Just 1.5 km from Fuzen Road
The whole essence of Kasumigaura cuisine is here!
/Paste Soup/
Paste soup is the first breakfast in Kasumigura, and it also carries many childhood memories of Kasumigaura people.
The taste is close to Quanzhou's noodle batter, but the ingredients are very different. Rice noodles are mainly made, supplemented by dried shrimp, meat slices, etc., and then added to special grade fish sauce, which is smooth and refreshing to eat, and has a very local character.
Locals also like to serve meat buns with pasted soup. A bowl of paste soup + a meat bun is an authentic Kasumigaura flavor.
It is prepared by boiling water, adding starch-coated meat slices, and then putting fresh rice noodles in a pot. Pour in the starch and stir clockwise with a spoon.
You can also add some dried shrimp, duck intestines, shiitake mushrooms, dried fish, etc. according to personal taste, so that the layers are rich and the taste is fresher. Finally, add the "fish sauce" with condiments and finishing touches, and you're done.
Dongmen tou bun paste soup
This shop is an authentic long-established store that has been open for decades. I heard that my friends in Kasumigaura often came to this house to eat when they were in junior high school.
Open 24 hours a day, you can open the paste soup anytime, anywhere!
Unlike other stores, this one has a longer line of paste. Green onion oil is also added to make it fresh, and the mouth is unique to seafood, and the rice noodles are smooth and delicious.
In addition, the meat skin soup in Dongmen is also worth trying, and the fried meat skin with duck blood with bamboo shoots shines brightly, and it is accompanied by fried fritters, which is simply refreshing.

A Minnan paste of "Breakfast China" has made the editor have a unique yearning for the small city of Xiapu . It is not only a delicious snack of Sansha, but also carries the deep nostalgia of many outsiders.
/Minnan paste/
@Breakfast China》
Regarding Minnan paste, the editor also found such a history -
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Xiapu Sansha welcomed the first batch of Hokkien "Zhangpu fishermen". After the fishermen came to Sansha for the sea, they found that Sansha Port was rich in fishery resources, so they often drove boats here to fish and shelter from the wind, and then fishermen from all over the coast of southern Fujian settled in Sansha, so Minnan paste has also become a special breakfast in Xiapu Sansha.
@Breakfast China》
Xiaobian calls it "Baoshan Baohai Smorgasbord", shrimps, diced meat, sea shells, shiitake mushrooms and other extremely umami ingredients, stir-fried together in a pot, and added water to make soup.
Add sweet potato flour to salt to make a thick consistency, add to the pan and stir-fry together until the color is transparent.
The stir-fried Minnan paste looks very mixed, but it is delicious to eat in one bite.
Cuttlefish, celery, shrimp, shiitake mushrooms are full of ingredients, and lard and titian will be added when they are about to be stir-fried, which is full of pleasure.
/Sansha Sanjue/
In Xiapu locality, Sansha fish balls, meat swallows, and meat dumplings are collectively known as "Sansha Sanjue".
The fish balls here are handmade from freshly caught mackerel. Pork thigh + freshly boiled onion oil + salt soy sauce, as filling, and then steamed.
Take a bite while hot, the fish aroma and meat aroma are perfectly integrated, and the sweet meat directly bursts out in the mouth, which can be said to be the best taste in the world.
Sansha fish balls are made of eel, mackerel, and shark meat, which are more elastic than ordinary fish balls, and the mouth is full of fresh aroma, and the more you eat it, the more you can't stop.
Meat swallow should be familiar to everyone, and it is a local snack in Fujian.
Looks like ravioli. But it is thinner than the wonton skin, and the filling is made of thin hind legs, which makes the taste more chewy with the blessing of sweet potato starch.
Unlike other places, Kasumigaura's meat swallow must be served with local seaweed. The taste of the meat swallow is smooth and smooth, and it is served with the sweetness of seaweed, which is perfect for breakfast.
Kasumiura's sweet rice dumplings feel mediocre, but meat dumplings must be tried.
Compared with other meat dumplings in southern Fujian, the filling here is made with pickled eggs, and fresh fennel is also added to the glutinous rice.
The mouth is a soft and fresh fragrance, with a light fennel aroma, which is very refreshing. The meat inside is basically pure lean meat, so it is not greasy at all.
Sansha meat dumplings
Dare to use local snacks as the name of the shop, it seems that there are also two brushes. The store has been standing for 20 years, and has gained countless fans with a meat dumpling.
The proprietress has been from Sansha for generations, and the craft of this meat dumpling is passed down from the hands of grandma. Because the main Sansha meat dumpling, the first recommendation of the editor is it. The texture of the mouth is not too soft or dry, soft and glutinous rice is full of aroma.
Wrapped in the middle of the marinated lean meat, it is not greasy to eat, and you can also eat the refreshing fennel, and I feel that I can dazzle three in one breath. You can also manually add a little peanut butter from the store, and it tastes different.
/Seafood fried rice noodles/
Seafood fried rice noodles are a local specialty.
Mainly handmade rice noodles, first soak the rice noodles until soft, and stir-fry them in a pot over high heat. The ingredients are also abundant, and you can also add fresh ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, pork, carrots, etc.
Whether as breakfast or as a late-night snack, it is a good taste.
Old Xue sweet potato cup
The sweet potato cup named by CCTV is one of the most anticipated delicacies in Xiapu by Xiaobian. The raw material is sweet potatoes, which are named sweet potato cups because they are shaped like cups.
A sweet potato cup stall on Kasumigawafu Front Street is famous. There is no shop, because the owner's surname is Xue, so after a long time, everyone calls this place Old Xue Sweet Potato Cup. 2 yuan a piece, the main one is cheap and delicious.
The production process is quite exquisite: first wash and peel the sweet potatoes, steam them in a pot, press them into a puree, and then add appropriate eggs, sesame oil, starch and stir until the Q elastic is tough.
Then the sweet potato balls are kneaded into bowls, wrapped in fillings, and finally steamed in a steamer basket lined with leaves.
The freshly cooked sweet potato cup has a very attractive golden color, full of Q in the mouth, and exudes the aroma of hoop leaves.
The filling is mainly pork, so it tastes salty and sweet, which is addictive. There is also the local specialty rice dumpling, which is worth trying.

Mountain and sea tour, seafood paradise "umami" taste non-stop all year round!
Kasumigaura Prefecture has a long coastline and numerous island resources, and its unique geographical advantages make the seafood here have both the sweetness of freshwater fish and the fatness of marine fish.
And a braised large yellow fish is a soul dish on the dinner table of Xiapu people.
Yellow croaker, locals also call it large yellow croaker. Don't look at it plain looking, but it's the best of fish. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, yellow croaker has been a tribute to the imperial court.
Production method: Kasumigapu people prefer braised rice. Freshly cut and wash the large yellow croaker, rub it with salt, put ginger and raw soy rice wine in the belly of the fish to marinate and remove the fishy reserve.
Heat the oil, throw the marinated fish in, and fry until golden. At this time, the green onion, ginger and garlic are stir-fried to fragrant, put in white sugar and rice wine for freshness, and collect the juice over high heat.
Some gluttons will repeatedly soak the fish body with soup during the finishing stage to ensure that the fish meat is tender and delicious.
As China's "hometown of seaweed" and "hometown of Chinese kelp", Xiapu can be described as one of the small towns with the strongest seafood during the fishing holiday.
In June and July, the kelp harvest season is here, and you can see fishermen drying kelp on the tidal flats.
Unlike other regions, Kasumigura's kelp is smooth and tender, and delicious. In summer, a cold coleslaw of kombu silk is most popular with locals.
In addition, there are skin shrimp, oysters, sea cucumbers, dew snails, red snails, flower snails, pike crabs, abalone, mussels... There are countless varieties.
Seafood on the tip of the tongue (main store)
There are many seafood stalls in Xiapura, but I recommend you to come here. The popularity of the store has not decreased for many years, mainly in the freshness of seafood.
The environment is fresh and clean, and there are quite a few seats. The food is served quickly, and the fresh air rushes to the brain.
The characteristic large yellow fish is a must, steamed is more delicious than braised meat, the fish meat is fresh and tender, and it is a mouthful of soul.
Raw baked abalone brother is large, and the meat is chewy. In addition, the oysters with garlic, braised sea cucumber, fried jumping fish, and clams are all good.

Although the sea rock wild bergamot does not have much meat, it is really fresh. The fish dumplings are transparent and bright, and the fish meat inside is tender, and it is absolutely bursting with juice in one bite.
