What's for breakfast? Soy milk fritters ah. Is there an alternative to this "golden pair"?
"Golden Partner"
Unlike the phenomenon that the general public and "pairs" of thin strips of fritters often occupy people's tables, in the areas around northern Henan and Luxi, a delicacy similar to fritters and different from fritters, "old dove's head" is quite popular. Because of its shape similar to the round head of an old dove (i.e., a crow), this irregular round fritter is called an old dove's head.

In areas where old dove heads are prevalent, peppery soup, tofu brain dipped in old dove heads, or two mixes (that is, tofu brain mixed with peppery soup) are classic pairings for many people's breakfasts.
The way to eat fritters, soy milk and peppery soup is already known to women and children, but do you know other ways to eat fritters? Everything can be shabu-shabu, which is the culinary experience of Sichuan people. The fritters stay quietly on the plate before they are put into pot, and once they come into contact with the frying pan, the fritters filled with the soup are more inflated, and the chopsticks touch slightly, and the soup spills out from the surface of the fritters.

In addition to the shabu-shabu, fritters can also be made into porridge to drink, which still carries a lot of nostalgia for many old Cantonese people. Made from fish fillets, fried peanuts and other ingredients sandwiched in porridge, and later added jellyfish, frangipani, green onions, fritters or fritters, fresh and sweet, is a famous porridge in Guangzhou.
Originally, the boat porridge was originally sold in small boats on the water in Lychee Bay and the Pearl River; now it is a must-have food in local five-star hotels and Guangdong porridge shops overseas.

In addition to eating alone, fritters are also the preferred filling for many foods. Braised scallions are a traditional Hangzhou folk snack, in which fritters and shallots are wrapped in dough cakes and baked in an iron pan or fried until crispy brown, served with sweet noodle sauce and hot sauce.
There is also a saying that the source of this onion-wrapped braised is that during the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was killed in the Wind Wave Pavilion in Hangzhou because of a conflict with Qin Squire, and for a time the crowd was excited. A pastry chef in Hangzhou used dough to knead into two noodles symbolizing Qin Juniper's husband and wife, twisted them together, threw them into a frying pan and roasted them, and called it "fried juniper", in order to avoid Qin Juniper's suspicions, changed the juniper next to the wooden character to a braised one next to the fire character. "Scallion braised" also has the same meaning.

Shanghai, the next door to Hangzhou, also has its own way of eating fritters, and flatbread, fritters, soy milk and rice are known as the four big Kongs of Shanghai breakfast. Compared to the other three foods, the rice balls are a bit "raw". Glutinous rice is the main ingredient, and the rice balls are wrapped in fritters, squeezed vegetables, and pork floss, which are fragrant and chewy.

Finally, I have to go back to Guangdong here, or how to say that Cantonese people will eat it, this is not in addition to the boat boy porridge, and the fried two with intestinal powder are coming again. Native to Guangdong and popular in Hong Kong, unlike the fresh fritters used in the above snacks, Guangdong fried two overnight fritters for beauty. Wrap the overnight fritters in intestinal flour, cut them into small pieces, drizzle with soy sauce, and sprinkle with green onions. People in Hong Kong and Guangzhou usually eat fried two when eating porridge, so fried two are mainly sold in porridge shops.

Small fritters have so many ways to eat, dipping, frying, roasting, steaming have their own piece of the sky. Which way do you prefer to eat fritters?
