Zibo, with a skewer of barbecue
Tianshui, with a bowl of spicy hot
Inconspicuous delicacies can actually leverage the tourism economy of the entire city
An ordinary town can also be transformed into an "Internet celebrity"
It is estimated that in addition to some popular tourist destinations all year round
Tears of envy will be shed when you see it anywhere else
Who can not love this to drive economic development
Maybe even Sichuan didn't expect that his own family was the first to invent Malatang
has sent a splash of wealth to other provinces one after another!
First of all, the Northeast spread all over the country with a bowl of sticky spicy tang filled with sesame sauce~
Various cities across the country have opened a lot of Northeast Malatang and sticky Malatang restaurants
and quickly gained a large number of young foodie fans
Then Tianshui became popular on the Internet by relying on a bowl of spicy and spicy red and spicy red oil
Across the screen, a lot of foodies and gourmets are greedy
Packed up and booked tickets overnight, and quickly rushed to Gansu by train or plane
The long queue for two or three hours is just for a mouthful of authentic Gansu spicy tang and a bowl of hot wide noodles
In fact, since the 80s of the last century, Sichuan people invented Malatang
Malatang has gradually spread to all parts of the country and has become a "national snack"
People everywhere have made more or less "changes" to Malatang according to their own preferences and tastes
To be precise, Malatang has been transformed from a specific food to a dietary form
Malatang no longer only adheres to the style of "spicy".
There is a northeastern-style sesame sauce style and a northwestern-style spicy style
There are also sweet and sour styles of Central Plains, as well as sour and hot styles of Southwestern flavors
In short, Malatang, a national snack, has basically achieved "the province is different, and there are surprises in the place"!
Nowadays, the Malatang in Northeast China and Gansu has become popular one after another
So who will be the next "Malatang City" that can explode?
There are four alternative cities with potential and characteristics, and they all have their own "exclusive secrets" for making Malatang
Come and see which one you pick!
1. Ningxia Malatang
Ningxia saw its next-door neighbor Gansu through a bowl of spicy hot
It attracted more than 2 million tourists
There will be some envy and sourness in my heart~
Because Ningxia's Malatang is also very delicious, it does not lose Tianshui Malatang at all
The same northwest region is also rich in products
And the soul of Malatang, "chili", is also abundant in Ningxia
The red oil spicy seeds are fragrant and spicy, and the taste is very rich
Add handmade chili peppers to the boiled chicken broth
Put the selected ingredients into a soup pot with red oil and cook them
The aroma of meat and chili peppers slowly soak into the ingredients
It is different from the Tianshui Malatang with dry brushing
Ningxia's spicy tang is a big bowl full of vegetables and soup
It must also be topped with a thick layer of red chili oil with sesame seeds
Just looking at it is already a saliva of 3,000 feet
People who don't like spicy food will probably never imagine it
How tempting is such a bowl of Ningxia Malatang for people who love spicy food!
It tastes spicy and just right, and it doesn't feel greasy at all
I can't help but sigh how every bite is so fragrant, and it simply brings out the aroma of the ingredients to the extreme
Eat another cake with it or dip it in the soup, the taste is really amazing!
If you don't want to eat the stew with a soup pot, you can also choose the dipping sauce
The ingredients from the stock are served separately and served with a small bowl of bright red dipping sauce on the side
Roll the ingredients into the dipping sauce, and the spicy and fragrant taste is doubled up
The more you eat, the more beautiful it is, and after an hour of eating, you are still savoring the spicy taste left in your mouth~
It is no wonder that the number of Ningxia people ordering Malatang in takeaway is the largest in the country, even higher than that in Northeast China, Sichuan-Chongqing, Gansu and other places
Second, Jingzhou Malatang
The uniqueness of Hubei Jingzhou Malatang lies in
It has created a new form of Malatang dining
There is a long tin table in the Malatang shop
And two large openings were dug in the middle of the tabletop, which were specially used to put two large cauldrons
In the pot is boiled broth, some spicy and some not
Some of the ingredients that need to be cooked for a long time are already in a circle in the pot
Other vegetables, meat, lo-mei, and noodles are neatly placed on the table waiting to be "named" by diners
Generally, the old Jingzhou people will pick a good position with a light car
Tell the boss whether you want spicy soup or not
Then order what you want to eat one by one
Wait for the boss to put the ingredients into the center of the soup pot in order and blanch them for a few minutes
Once it's ironed, it's handed to everyone's desk
Sometimes I really admire the amazing hearing and memory of the owner of the Malatang restaurant
In a noisy environment, you can accurately hear and write down the "menu" of each guest
And send the spicy tang in strict order, and sometimes even the guests themselves forget what they ordered
But the boss really doesn't forget or get wrong
After the hot spicy hot, put it in the spicy or non-spicy broth
Then order seasonings such as chili, garlic, and chopped green onions according to your taste
It's not too enjoyable to eat, and all kinds of vegetables and meats are full of the flavor of the soup
While eating, I chatted with friends about gossip, and the food in the bowl tasted fragrant again
Finally, blanch instant noodles or rice noodles, and don't be too satisfied with a bowl!
Moreover, there are also fresh beef, kidney flowers, shutters, fat sausages and other ingredients to eat in Jingzhou
Eating these on a hot table is much more enjoyable than eating seafood balls
It may be more expensive than a regular Malatang, but it's totally worth it!
This Jingzhou Malatang is simply a "oden" that is more suitable for Chinese babies~
3. Huzhou duck goods are spicy
Which region of China is Malatang the least marketable?
Many people may guess that it is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, after all, most of the people there have light tastes
I shouldn't like such a heavy taste of spicy tang
But the fact is that Zhejiang people not only love to eat Malatang, but also eat to a new height!
There are two places in Zhejiang, where the locals eat spicy food and don't even lose to "Southwest F4"
That is Quzhou and Huzhou, so Malatang is also very popular in these two places
Especially in Huzhou, I love to eat my favorite duck and add it to Malatang
Made the country's first "duck version of Malatang"
In Huzhou, vegetables, meatballs, and soy products must stand aside first
The duck goods marinated in advance by the boss are the protagonists
All kinds of duck heads, duck gizzards, duck necks, duck legs, duck wings, and duck intestines can be selected
Huzhou's braised duck goods may not look as attractive as Wuhan's duck goods
But when you put them in the hot soup, they are so hot
The aroma of duck meat begins to fill the air
Then blanch with some Shanghai greens, kelp, enoki mushrooms, bean skin, etc
The moment it is poured into a bowl and poured with the soup
I can't wait to snatch it from the boss and take a bite
The marinated duck is a little hot to eat, but it still chooses to continue to "move"
There's no way who makes this taste too fragrant~
QQ bouncing duck intestines, soft and strong duck gizzards, infinitely delicious duck wings, duck heads
Even a mouthful of duck bones is fragrant
And there is a spicy smell in the fresh fragrance, which makes people gradually intoxicated by it
If you really want to move to Huzhou for this bowl of duck Malatang, you have to eat it three times a week!
Fourth, Xinxiang sweet and sour spicy hot
Henan Xinxiang has also opened up a new road for Malatang
It makes Malatang not only numb, spicy and hot, but also a little more sour and sweet
Authentic Xinxiang old-fashioned spicy tang is not a dish of choice
It all depends on the mood of the boss, and the boss will match you with what ingredients he prepares
Generally, there are more than a dozen "old guys" such as cabbage, potato chips, kelp shreds, tofu skin, bean sprouts, wide flour, gluten, and oily wheat cabbage
Not to mention that all kinds of ingredients are scalded, these old ones are really the most durable
Grab a handful of the same and pile it into a big pot under the pot
In the pot is a fragrant bone broth
When the ingredients are boiled in the pot, they are also full of energy, and they are sucking in the fresh flavor of the soup
Once out of the pan, pour over two tablespoons of spicy nuts boiled in butter
Add a tablespoon of sugar and squeeze a circle of balsamic vinegar
Such a bowl of authentic sweet and sour spicy tang can be eaten
First of all, I ate the green vegetables that I didn't have time to absorb the red oil
After entering the mouth, it is sweet and sour, crispy and very top
Sandwich two slices of spicy and fluffy potatoes and eat
That taste really doesn't change the meat
And the gluten that can't be missed
Every small hole is full of sweet, sour and spicy soup, and the mouth is full of juice in one bite, and the aftertaste is endless
Broad flour, potato flour, etc., should be saved for the last to eat
The sweet and sour spicy soup is soaked in soft and slippery, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes
Fill the little gap left in your stomach
Then the word satisfaction will come to mind~
Please go to Xinxiang to try this sweet and sour spicy hot !!
- Lao Jing said -
A bowl of Malatang may not be worth a plane ticket or train ticket, so there is really no need to rush to a place for a mouthful of Malatang, and this bowl of Malatang may not be able to withstand such heavy expectations, but if you have the opportunity or have already planned to go to the above cities for a visit or business trip, it is really recommended that you try it!
I am a foraging story in the market, and I have been fighting with the world for many years, and I am still glorious and full of interest! I update the food recipes and market life every day, follow me, enjoy a comfortable life and don't get lost.
