Spicy food is an adventure in life, but also the ultimate carnival on the tip of the tongue, spicy taste, can instantly arouse the taste buds on the thousand layers of waves, the heart is also full of pleasure, when the waves are gone, there is still an endless aftertaste, this is probably the reason why it is difficult for people who love spicy to quit spicy.
The history of spicy food in the mainland is very long, but the earliest spicy taste does not come from chili peppers, but from peppercorns, ginger and other ingredients with a milder spicy taste, chili peppers were crossed from South America to the mainland in the late Ming Dynasty, and chili peppers began to be cooked and eaten by more people during the Qing Dynasty.
Speaking of spicy food, we can't fail to mention Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, these "big spicy provinces", due to the humid climate and other reasons, people's demand for spicy food has greatly increased, and chili pepper has gradually become the "protagonist" on the table in these provinces. If you want to talk about the spicy track, then pick out the "most spicy" city among the four spicy provinces, and compare them together to see who of these top players can eat spicy more?
1. Pingxiang, Jiangxi
Jiangxi is one of the most often ignored spicy provinces, but when Jiangxi people silently serve their own provincial dish "chili fried chili", most people can be instantly convinced, and in Jiangxi, a hidden spicy province, the most spicy must be Pingxiang, which is even the conclusion that the Hunan people next door have personally certified. There is no way for Pingxiang to be located at the junction of Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, which makes Pingxiang people born with two spicy genes, fresh and spicy.
Pingxiang's lotus blood duck and small fried meat are two classic spicy representative dishes of Pingxiang cuisine, the local specialty duck is stir-fried with tea oil, ginger and garlic, rice wine, and then a large bowl of fresh red pepper diced under the pot to fry the spicy taste, and finally poured in the fresh duck blood to stir-fry out of the pot, red pepper and red oil are all telling its spicy taste, and the duck meat is found to be soaked in the spicy taste after the duck meat is entered.
Another dish of Pingxiang stir-fried pork is also different from the small stir-fried meat in other places, not only fresh green peppers, but also dried chili peppers and red peppers that account for half of the plate, just looking at it makes you feel hot and spicy in your mouth.
Someone described Pingxiang cuisine as saying, "Half of that bowl of dishes is full of chili peppers, and no matter what dishes are fried, they are red." "If you simply think that you can reduce the amount of chili pepper intake in Pingxiang as long as you avoid Pingxiang cuisine, it is a big mistake, whether it is to eat fried noodles, mixed noodles, or eat wontons, bibimbap and other snack staples, then the owner of the Pingxiang restaurant can also put you full of chili peppers, and I want to order a tomato egg soup to drink and relieve the spicy, and the soup can still have chili peppers floating on it.
And Pingxiang people even have to eat fried chili peppers when they drink wine, and chili cakes made of chili peppers are also the daily snacks of Pingxiang people, it can be said that Pingxiang people are definitely the ceiling of spicy food.
2. Shaoyang, Hunan
Hunan people's preference for spicy food is well-known, and the most spicy in Hunan must be Shaoyang, if Shaoyang is ranked second, then other places will definitely not dare to call it first. Shaoyang people are really not spicy, every day to change the pattern to eat chili, in addition to eating fresh chili, chili pepper is made into white chili, chopped chili, dried chili, oil chili, roasted chili pepper and so on, as soon as the meal points walk in the street village can smell the strong chili fragrance.
In Shaoyang, I started to eat spicy food from early in the morning, and went to the rice noodle shop to have a bowl of fragrant beef noodles, which were directly mixed with a lot of red peppers, and a layer of red oil floated in the bowl the moment the broth was poured.
At noon, a bowl full of rice, sweep to the center of the table, fried blood duck, flavored chicken, chopped pepper fish head, pig blood balls are not spicy, even burnt a home-cooked tofu, stir-fried salted vegetables, sweet potato flour to put half a bowl of green peppers, red peppers, these spicy dishes that rice must bottom out in minutes.
When the sun sets, all kinds of flavors of shrimp, barbecue skewers, grilled fish, spicy crab, pan eel and other supper are fragrant and spicy, you must prepare water and drinks on your body, otherwise it will really be spicy to take off.
3. Zigong, Sichuan
As the saying goes, "food in Sichuan, taste in Zigong", if you go to Sichuan to eat spicy, you must go to Zigong first. Zigong is the "thousand-year-old salt capital", and it is precisely because of the production of salt and salt production, Zigong people stay in a high humidity environment for a long time, and they need to rely on eating chili peppers to sweat and drain moisture.
When you come to Zigong, you must first be mentally prepared to be spicy, and Zigong will definitely subdue everyone who insists that they can eat spicy. Needless to say too much, just a piece of beef on the side of the fire can make people doubt life, the thin beef slices like cicada wings taste crispy and fragrant at first, but slowly the spicy taste begins to accumulate in the mouth, the more you eat, the more spicy it becomes, but you can't help but want to continue eating.
Zigong's rabbit is also a must-eat, whether it is a fresh pot rabbit, or a cold rabbit, the common feature is spicy, one goes spicy wind, one goes fresh and spicy wind.
There are also various meat ingredients such as diving fish, ginger frogs, stir-fried kidney flowers, boiled beef, hot snails, etc., whether it is fried and stir-fried, or stewed and fried, millet pepper, Erjingtiao, dried chili, red oil bean paste, chili oil, ginger and other spicy ingredients are indispensable, and even a spoonful of spicy sauce must be poured on a bean curd.
As long as you eat in Zigong for a while, then go to other places in Sichuan to eat, you will feel that they are all slightly spicy, and there is no burden to eat.
Fourth, Zunyi, Guizhou
The first stop of chili pepper on the table of the Chinese people is Guizhou, contrary to Zigong, Guizhou is because of the lack of salt production since ancient times, chili pepper occupies the "C position" on the table of Guizhou people, and Guizhou's annual pepper production has always been the first in the country, Zunyi is an important production area of Guizhou chili, accounting for about 13% of the total production of chili pepper in the country, known as the "hometown of chili pepper", so it is impossible to question who can not eat spicy, that is, you can't question that Zunyi people can't eat spicy.
Zunyi is simply a paradise for spicy lovers, in the morning glutinous rice and red oil rice skin to put two or three spoons of red oil chili pepper, add spicy glutinous rice and shredded potatoes, crispy whistle and other side dishes to taste spicy and soft, the taste is very rich.
There are also two more spoonfuls of sea pepper and pepper noodles in the fragrant and delicious mutton noodles, and even a plate of fried chili crisp to add flour. Eating bean curd noodles is the same as Zigong, it must be accompanied by a bowl of dipping water with red chili oil, and even eating steamed buns must be accompanied by a plate of paste chili pepper or dried chili powder dipped water.
Not to mention Zunyi cuisine, the most famous Zunyi spicy chicken tastes fresh and spicy, spicy and addictive. Zunyi people also have a lot of their own spicy hot pot, such as Ziyun beef hot pot, Hema mutton hot pot, black bean flower bamboo shoot chicken hot pot, Yaxi tempeh hot pot, the bottom of the pot is full of thick red oil at a glance, and the air is full of mixed aroma of chili pepper and meat.
In addition, Zunyi also has a particularly attractive sour and spicy taste, a pot of fresh, sour and spicy sour soup fish is absolutely unforgettable, after all, Zunyi people prepare dozens of hundreds of catties of sour chili peppers every year is not just talking.
- Lao Jing said -
Put these four most spicy cities together, it is really difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, because each city eats spicy different, Jiangxi Pingxiang and Sichuan Zigong eat more fresh and spicy and salty and spicy, while Hunan Shaoyang pays attention to spicy, Guizhou Zunyi eats more sour and spicy, and at the same time, the way of eating paste pepper is also a little different, but the pepper is very fierce. If you have friends who know more about these four cities, you can also share your views in the comment area, or you can also leave a message in the comment area if you think there are other cities that are more spicy. #五月生活碎片#
