Every time we talk about taste, we often describe it as "five tastes", that is, "sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty". Tuitui felt that the acid was in the five tastes, properly ranked first, the word acid was pronounced alone, it has made the population tongue full of excitement, unconsciously swallowing saliva ... (ˉ﹃ˉ)
Especially for the natives of Sanya, acid is not only an adjective, but also a noun. Sanya people can be said to be obsessed and obsessed with the taste of acid. In the recipes of the Sanya people, fruits can be sour, soup bases can be sour, rice noodles can be sour, dipping sauces can be sour, drinks can be sour... In short, everything can be sour!
Today, let's see how sour the Sanya people really are!
When it comes to eating sour, Sanya's sour fish soup must have a name! The essence of sour fish soup lies in its abundant ingredients, and you can find a lot of acid in this dish.
Sanya caperilla, sour star fruit, sour shoots, sour watermelon, sauerkraut and other ingredients cooked out of a unique sour taste, this sour taste can be a good way to remove the fishy taste of the sea fish, hanging out the umami taste of the fish itself, rich in taste layers, rich soup base, sour and refreshing, fresh jump eyebrows are not exaggerated ~ ~
In addition to sour fish soup, the degree of Sanya people's love for eating acid can also be reflected in the rotten vinegar hot pot. After all, autumn has arrived, and a bowl of boiling rotten vinegar is the appetizer of ordinary life! The soul of the rotten vinegar hot pot lies in the soup base, that thick vinegar aroma, just smelling the taste makes people saliva secrete, stirring up appetite.
In addition to the soup base, Sanya people can also find a variety of acids in vegetables and fruits. Sour shoots, sour bamboo shoots, pickled taro stems, sauerkraut, sour melons, sour radish, capers, kimchi... These sauerkrauts, salty, sour and crunchy, have a special aroma, and have the effect of appetizing and relieving greasiness.
Sanya people usually use porridge or other dishes to cook together, adding a simple and original Hainan sour taste to the cuisine.
Sanya people are carved into the bones of acid, and they always like to add a little acid to some common staple foods. For example, the most common capers, in addition to being used to stir-fry vegetables (such as capers chicken offal, capers fried meat), can also be added to a variety of staple foods to enhance the taste and increase acidity, such as adding capers to the powder soup, adding capers to the skewers, and even capers fried rice and capers.
In the recipes of the Sanya people, there are also various sour powders that are mainly "sour".
Gangmen sour powder is a favorite dish in the summer, and its sour taste source is hainan fruit sour horn. When the appetite is not good, take a sip, the sour and sweet skimming the tip of the tongue, instantly can be appetizing, very head-catching! In addition to Gangmen sour powder, Lingshui sour powder Sanya people also love to eat ~ ~
Sanya people's love for acid is also reflected in eating raw fruits. Raw mangoes, brine pineapples, passion fruit... The acid in these fruits also makes Sanya people addicted!
When many friends come to Sanya to play, do they occasionally see vendors hanging on the side of the road with two glass jars, which contain pickled raw mangoes, pineapples, starfruit and other fruits? Green mango can be eaten with chili salt or shrimp paste. The green mango itself has a sour and crisp taste, and after putting the chili salt, the sour and spicy taste stimulates the mouth, constantly secreting saliva, which makes people can't help but sigh.
When it comes to fruit acid, the status of small green oranges can be said to be unshakable, and in the eyes of Sanya people, dipping can be done without vinegar, but it must not be less than small green oranges. Sanya people can not eat without "wen di" (dipping dish), each dish of dipping sauce is various, but no matter what dipping sauce, there is a soul of small green orange.
Slightly sour green orange juice can not only neutralize the fishy and greasy taste of the big fish and meat very well, but also make the taste and taste of the food more abundant, pushing and pushing every time with dipping sauce to eat vegetables is always careless to eat too much...
Sanya's many dips also have a sweet and sour sauce, which is also a "versatile" dipping sauce. Sweet and sour sauce with pancakes, fried dumplings, fried chicken, skewers and other fried things, both sour and degreasing; you can also accompany roasted suckling pig, leek cake, Hainan pickles, once you eat it, you can't control it!
In addition to a variety of delicacies, the acid in the drink is of course indispensable. Capers King and old salt lemon tea are the favorite "sour" drinks of Sanya people, and they are also treasure weapons for Sanya people to deal with poor appetite!
For the people of Sanya
Eating "sour" is a thing
It is the coordinate system burned on the soul
It has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Sanya people
Of course, Sanya's acid is more than that!
