There are thousands of authentic cool skins in Xi'an, and the rice skins of Qinzhen must definitely be counted as one, after all, there has always been a saying that "the face of the Pot Helmet Qishan in Qianzhou, and the skins of Qinzhen go around Chang'an".
However, the one I want to talk about today is in Xi'an, an old restaurant that has been open for 28 years, and people who have eaten it have said that "after eating this, there is no need to go to Qinzhen again."
• Beyond the treasure of Qin town Mipi Shop •
As a Xi'an person, I love the land under my feet very deeply, no matter how far I have gone, no matter how many years have passed, I only need a taste of my hometown to be solid.
Many outsiders' impression of Xi'an mostly starts from a "Three Qin Set", rice skin, ice peak, meat sandwich steamed bun, simple collocation is the daily life of Xi'an people, but to taste good or have to find the right place.
Ziqiang West Road, which has been open for 28 years, is a place where you must punch in the rice skin!
A small storefront, there is no special decoration inside, the menu is simple a few lines pasted on the wall, but just after 11 o'clock began to be full, 12 o'clock to have to wait for the seat, Oh, is a treasure old shop!
Eating rice peel itself is a very common thing, but when you encounter an old shop, the business is still so prosperous, you must carefully investigate what is different.
• What's different about 28 years of Mipi Shop? •
The first is the rice skin itself, the raw material of the rice skin is generally indica rice, soaking rice must be full of three hours, so as to achieve the best state, and then grinding, eating the taste is generally determined by this step.
The steaming process is also exquisite, and the tendons, thinness, fineness and softness are indispensable. Thin strips with a thickness of less than one millimeter and a width of five or six millimeters are optimal. The final steamed rice skin must be cut with a large knife, and the people of Xi'an love this handmade spirit.
This is followed by spices, spicy seeds and vinegar which are the essence of rice peel.
The vinegar in the rice skin needs to be boiled first, put in more than ten kinds of spices such as star anise, peppercorns, cinnamon and so on, and then use it after cooling.
As an absolute soul of spicy, first of all, there can be no spicy noodles in the spicy oil. Picking up a handful of rice peel and dipping it into the spicy when loading the bowl is another soul moment besides knife cutting.
Finally, there are side dishes, usually there will be soybean sprouts and celery at the bottom of the rice skin bowl, this one chose soybean sprouts, mixed in the middle of the rice skin, each bite has a crisp and raw taste.
