The dough is covered with filling
The boiled ones are called "dumplings"
The dough is covered with filling
The steamed ones in the pot are called "steamed buns"
The dough is covered with filling
Frying in an oil pan is called "raw frying"
Thus
"Skin" and "filling" are cooked in different ways
It will make a difference
There is an even more magical combination of skin and filling
That's siu mai

When it comes to siu mai, foodies are no strangers. From Suzhou's three fresh roasted wheat, Guangzhou's dry steamed roasted wheat to Hangzhou's beef roasted wheat, Changsha's chrysanthemum roasted wheat to Inner Mongolia's mutton roasted wheat, Tiannan Haibei has its own characteristics. By definition, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Henan. But you know what? We also have our own exclusive roasted wheat in Henan, and it can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty.
Speaking of the Northern Song Dynasty, we have to mention Kaifeng. Yes, that's right! In Kaifeng, in addition to the most representative soup dumplings and bucket chickens, the locals also love this bite - roasted wheat.
Kaifeng roasted wheat? To tell the truth, for outsiders, it is really not as well-known as soup dumplings and bucket chickens. But if you ask a random native of Kaifeng, it's a "secret that can't be said". Why, you ask? Of course, I'm afraid that there are too many people who know, and the locals will have to queue up to eat again~

"Mutton Roasted Wheat
Mutton roasted wheat, I have to say that its appearance is as unforgettable as the soup dumplings in Kaifeng. Under the steaming steam, the crystal clear roasted wheat husk looks like a blooming snow plum, which makes people look like they have a great appetite.
Because the roasted oatmeal skin is thin enough, you can see the pink mutton filling inside through the skin, which is oily and attractive. What I didn't expect was that when I picked up the roasted wheat with chopsticks, there was still soup at the bottom, swaying along the chopsticks, and it was about to come out.
As soon as I took a small bite of the roasted wheat, I was swallowed by the delicious soup, and my mouth was immediately full of freshness. Although the roasted wheat husk is thin, it does not lose its tenacity. The mutton filling inside, because it is fresh and tender enough, and the soup is very sufficient, it tastes fragrant and smooth, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
"Grilled beef tongue & pot collapsed three things"
Pickpocketing beef tongue is also the handle of this store. Truth be told, when we first heard the name of the dish, we frowned slightly while feeling heavy. But as soon as I took a bite, I couldn't help but smile. The taste of the beef tongue is delicate and smooth, and the rich aroma of meat spreads along the tip of the tongue between the big bites, and the tenderness and mellowness blend in the mouth, making people have an endless aftertaste.
The pot collapsed in three ways, and this dish doesn't know why at first glance, but it actually hides a mystery. The outermost layer is a soft layer of egg skin, and when you cut it, you can see the "rich filling" inside. Chunks of beef, tender shrimp, and delicious diced chicken. The three ingredients are braised in abalone sauce, and the flavors of each other are mutually exacting, which is really a different taste experience.

As for the siu mai, the owner told us that their shop has been around since the early days of liberation and has been working until now. From the roasted oatmeal husk to the filling, every step of the production must not be sloppy. Take the roasted wheat husk as an example, using high-gluten flour + glutinous rice flour, only in this way can the roasted wheat husk be as thin as cicada wings but not lose toughness. The mutton filling is also chopped by hand, so as to ensure the taste of the meat filling. In addition to adding sesame oil, mutton fat, etc., the meat filling is also water, and then put it in the refrigerator to freeze, so that the wrapped roasted wheat has the taste of soup.
In addition to mutton siu mai, the store also has beef siu mai and vegetarian stuffing siu mai, and the order rate is also very high. If you feel that eating siu mai alone is not enjoyable, you can also try all kinds of old Yu dishes in the store, and the taste is also online~
