Hello everyone, I am Kang Kang's foodie, today Kang Kang came to Beijing's Jinyang Restaurant to prepare for the New Year, to taste the long-awaited crispy duck, crispy crispy meat crispy duck, with Shanxi's unique air drum cake, the bones are eaten. Let's take a look
When I want to eat Shanxi food in Beijing, the first thing that comes to my mind is Jinyang Restaurant. When I think of Jinyang Restaurant, the first thing that comes to mind is Master Jin Yongquan, and the second thing that comes to mind is the crispy duck that I want to eat the most.
Although Beijing Jinyang Restaurant is an old restaurant for more than half a century and has always made Shanxi cuisine, it cannot be said to be a long-established restaurant in Shanxi. Jinyang Restaurant was founded in 1959 by the state in order to enhance the content of the people's food culture in the capital. How did you think of opening a Shanxi-style restaurant in Beijing? I suspect that this has a lot to do with the frequent entry and exit of Jin merchants in and out of Beijing since the Qing Dynasty.
As the head of the ten major merchant gangs, Jin Shang was well-known in the Qing Dynasty. And the most important thing is that jinshang was a pioneer in the financial industry, and jinshang ticket numbers (equivalent to today's banks) even became the main practitioners of military expenditure in the Qing Dynasty. Cixi's first intention to return to Beijing after fleeing west was also to restore financial exchange immediately to the Jin merchants, otherwise the capital would be too tight to continue. Beijing cuisine itself is a platter, the capital city is heavy to entertain sixteen parties, this is natural, Shanxi cuisine, there must be.
At that time, it was Master Jin Yongquan who was sent to Shanxi to study, fortunately, Master Jin went, and even the study belt was developed, and there were a total of 200 small Shanxi dishes, which allowed me to enjoy rural food in The capital. In Shanxi, on the contrary, there are fewer and fewer traditional dishes that can be used on the table.
Crispy duck is a "Shanxi dish" that Master Jin originated from tradition and is higher than tradition. Crispy duck is very laborious, duck should be fresh, fat and tender, frozen duck is not suitable for use, fried duck oil can not be completely used in new oil, there must be half fried duck aged oil, flavor is strong. To use 16 kinds of Chinese medicines such as angelica, sand kernels, bamboo leaves, plus soy sauce and cooking wine, marinate for 4 hours, steam for another 4 hours, and then fry 3 times at a high temperature of 200 degrees. When frying, it is necessary to "one breast, two backs, three colors", that is, first fry the duck chest, then fry the duck back, and finally fry the color of the whole duck evenly. The prepared crispy duck should be eaten in pieces, with a pretzel sauce, and eaten with "air drum cake", green onions and yellow sauce, which fully reflects the unique flavor of Shanxi roast duck.
Uncle Jin's crispy duck skin was once Bush's favorite, and he not only often went to Jinyang Restaurant to eat but also packed it home. Later, the Bush family also introduced Master Kim Yongquan's crispy duck to other American guests. Two former US secretaries of state, Schultz and Powell, came to Beijing and both ordered them to eat crispy duck. The characteristics of crispy duck: dark red and golden color, thick five-spiced, crispy skin, rotten bone crisp, savor, the more flavorful.
The location of Jinyang Restaurant is quite interesting, in the former residence of Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan is a controversial figure in history, but the popularity of "Iron Tooth and Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" has established in people's minds a witty and intelligent ji Xiaolan who holds a large golden cigarette pole, approves the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", compiles the "Four Libraries Complete Book", and has the ghostly And Spirit Du Xiaoyue reading it. Kang Kang had no intention of being a boring historical examiner, so he only cared about the wisteria tree and a few towering hawthorn trees in the former residence.
By the way, Uncle Jin's Northern Sect Pills are also doing extremely well. This northern pie balls eat a "strong", crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, caramelized, in Jinyang restaurant called "dry croquettes" is also.
