There is a saying: "Hunan people eat peppers more revolutionaries, Sichuan people eat peppers to produce heroes, and Shaanxi people eat peppers desperately." Indeed, although the oil in Shaanxi is not as spicy as in these two places, the shaanxi people who eat peppers are stunned and fierce, which will also make outsiders feel afraid. In the large porcelain bowl, the peppers were put in half, and the bright red peppers were mixed with the food, and they swallowed and fell down until they ate it with a red face and sweating heavily, and then they felt happy. Even children and women eat chili peppers are not inferior, in the cold skin stall, the store grabbed a handful of skins into the chili oil a dip, the red skin was placed in the bowl, one by one to eat full of mouth oil, relish, after eating also instructed a word, another bowl, put more peppers.
Shaanxi people grow peppers, make peppers, and eat peppers for their historical and geographical reasons. Since ancient times, Guanzhong in Shaanxi Has been a rich land. Thousands of miles of fertile fields, flat land, abundant rainfall all year round, suitable for the cultivation of various crops, is China's earliest "tianfu country". Therefore, since the introduction of peppers into China in the Ming Dynasty, the history of pepper cultivation has continued here. Shaanxi is located in the Loess Plateau, perennial northwest wind intrusion, in order to drive away the cold and prevent cold, pepper has thus become an excellent food, it has the function of heat, cold, stomach and so on, so eating pepper has become a major hobby of Shaanxi people.
Shaanxi people take eating oil and sprinkle peppers as a wonderful enjoyment, leaving it, even if the mountains and treasures of the sea, they feel tasteless. Whether it is a home-cooked meal or a banquet for guests, spicy seeds are indispensable in any case. In particular, the oil pepper "biang biang" noodles, oil splash noodles, Qishan noodles, etc., are inseparable from the chili pepper as a companion. Bring a bowl, don't say eat, first look at it, let you mouth full of water. Pick it up with chopsticks and taste it, the aromatic taste is so intoxicating that you can't get back to your senses. If you taste it, you'll feel like you're making a culinary experience. After a meal is eaten, people are also in good spirits.

Don't look at the four words of oil spicy seeds sound very simple, but the finished product made by everyone is not easy, the shape, variety, and oil temperature, base material, etc. of the pepper have extremely high requirements, and any link that is not right will affect the overall taste. If you really pay attention to it, there are many doorways inside, first of all, the spicy noodles are the first, the best spicy seeds are selected, the slender peppers are preferred, called the line spicy, the body is slender, the fat flesh is thick, according to the words of the township party: oil and gas are large, spicy and fragrant, dried into dried peppers, and then choose its crimson translucent one. The spicy natives never buy ready-made chili noodles, afraid that in order to disguise the spicy taste, they will add alkali noodles to the inside, and it will have a burning feeling when eaten. They are all bought good dried peppers, let the seller use their feet to grind the noodles on the spot, and they must not be crushed too finely, and they will not be fragrant to eat, and they will be spicy. The ingredients should also be sufficient, star anise, peppercorns, cinnamon, pepper, fennel, meat konja, cloves, a small amount can be flavored, crushed and mixed with chili noodles, plus salt and sesame seeds, mix well. Then start to heat the oil, you must use vegetable oil, the salad can not stimulate the aroma. Oil temperature is also the key, spicy must be the oil temperature mastered properly, burned over, too hot too hot, when spilled out will be scorched black, burned not enough, too cold too ice, poured out when half raw, the former becomes flavored, the latter tasteless, are things that cannot be eaten into the mouth. Therefore, after the oil smokes, cool down slightly, and when the smoke is gone, it can be spilled. The oil should be poured more, at least it must be able to drown the spicy noodles, otherwise the spicy noodles will not be fragrant for a while. And then the most important step is to open your eyes. This is the practice handed down from the Guandong Province, when the spicy is still hot, a few drops of balsamic vinegar go in, the vinegar is cold, the oil is hot, the cool and hot meet, you hear a "bang" sound, a circle of foam in the dish, vinegar incense and oil spicy combination of the fragrance of the face, people eat fingers.
Some people say that oil-splashed peppers nourish the physique of Shaanxi people, and also nourish the spicy and courageous character of Shaanxi people. This is not false at all, I dare not say that the person who can eat spicy must be a bold person, but the proud person must be inseparable from the oil spicy!
