Recently, there has been a lot of fire, that is, Secretary of State Blinken has embarked on his second trip to China in office. What information he brought to China for China, I won't talk too much about this, they all say that the people take food as the sky, we might as well take a look together, what was the first meal of his visit to China?
Compared with Yellen, Blinken is also very good at eating, or he must also have a China expert around him, on the afternoon of the 24th, Blinken arrived in Shanghai, and in the evening, Blinken and Ambassador to China Burns and his party went to Yu Garden to taste xiaolongbao, and watched the Chinese Men's Basketball Professional League (CBA) game together.
From here, we can also clearly know that the first meal of Blinken's visit to China was actually the Shanghai xiaolongbao, after this meal was exposed, netizens expressed puzzlement, and some even directly said that they came all the way from the United States to eat a steamed bun?
On the evening of the 24th, Blinken and his entourage visited Yu Garden and the Bund, and tasted Nanxiang xiaolongbao. There is a very key word here, that is, Nanxiang xiaolongbao, it is reported that Nanxiang xiaolongbao has a history of more than 150 years, and in 2014, Nanxiang xiaolongbao production skills were officially selected as China's national intangible cultural heritage. It is not difficult to see that Nanxiang xiaolongbao, although it is also called steamed buns, is obviously different from ordinary steamed buns.
In fact, many foreign high-level executives have come to this time-honored Chinese restaurant to eat, such as Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom and former US President Clinton have also eaten xiaolongbao in this restaurant.
What is so special about Nanxiang xiaolongbao that so many leaders like to eat?
What makes Nanxiang xiaolongbao different from other xiaolongbao is its filling. According to its staff, they use the best pork leg meat, and also use chicken broth and vegetable broth to cook the meat skin into jelly, and mix it in to hang the umami. From this latter point alone, there is indeed something special.
When I was in Shanghai, I was fortunate to eat it once, and I felt that this xiao long bao has thin skin, many fillings, juicy and beautiful shapes.
If you have the opportunity, I recommend you to go to Nanxiang Dumpling Shop to taste, the taste is really special, and it will make you eat with endless aftertaste.
How to eat Nanxiang xiaolongbao correctly?
Different from other steamed buns, Nanxiang xiaolongbao, after being served, we need to have 3 steps when eating
1. Gently pick up the xiaolongbao with chopsticks and put it in the spoon. Care must be taken here not to be too rude, as if you break the skin of the xiaolongbao, it will ruin its beauty.
2. Tear a small hole in the skin first, and let the soup flow in the spoon, so that you can taste the concentrated various delicious soups. This step is quite crucial, so that you can really feel the deliciousness of xiao long bao.
3. Finally, we can add ginger or the like according to personal preference, dip it in black vinegar soy sauce and taste it when eating, and it will be delicious until it flies.
Blinken's visit to China to eat steamed buns, this is not an ordinary steamed bun, as a time-honored brand in China, the per capita consumption must be hundreds larger, it seems to be written in the Nanxiang steamed bun shop, in fact, there are many dishes in it, so netizens said that they eat steamed buns all the way away, and the problem is a little superficial.
