Dongtai, located in the middle of the coast of Jiangsu Province, east of the Yellow Sea, west of Taizhou, south of Nantong, north of Yancheng, known as the "Pearl of the Yellow Sea", more than 2100 years of history, is China's famous "fish and rice town".
For this small city, the most memorable thing is food. Huge sauce meat buns, delicious fish noodle soup, Seafood from Taigang, Dragon Tiger Dou Baked Cake... Also, the golden stinky dried beans that had just been fried.
At the thought of it, the horse was difficult to chase, one foot on the accelerator, drove 200 kilometers, passed the Sutong Bridge, which was not very traffic jam on the holiday, and once again came to the east terrace of Yancheng.
In the evening, come to the door of the post office to eat the smelly dry of the East Terrace, to be precise, the door of the public toilet next to the post office.
Street stalls, of course, have no name. A couple, a tricycle, here, is the best stall in Dongtai to eat stinky dry. Women are responsible for blowing up the stinky dry, and men are responsible for cutting and selling, and the cooperation is quite tacit.
Dongtai stinky dry is actually not smelly, nor is it as black as Changsha stinky tofu looks very heavy. The stinky dry raw materials to be fried, the yards are neat and tidy, white.
The oil temperature was very high, and I did not dare to go near it, to see that the woman skillfully put the stinky dry Dongtai that needed to be fried into the oil pan. Asked for ten dollars to stink dry, stand on the side and wait. Watch them work while chatting with regular customers.
Sometimes, life can be simple, year after year, day after day. Come here to buy stinky dry, basically familiar customers, there are very few people like me who drive and speak Mandarin.
Her man skillfully dried the fried square and cut it into two triangles. The most special thing about Dongtai stinky dry is the need to drizzle with shrimp oil, which is a very special taste.
Shrimp oil is a juice extracted from fermentation using fresh shrimp as raw material, and is often used in Dongtai.
Dongtai stinks and is very thin, and after being fried into a golden brown, it is basically only two layers of skin.
Ten dollars, a lot of plastic bags, eat while hot, really delicious in the world, can't stop the rhythm.
After eating the stinky dried in Dongtai, go looking for another delicacy, called Dragon Tiger Dou. Dragon Tiger Dou is a kind of burnt cake, the name of the domineering, this kind of baked cake, is a Specialty of Dongtai.
What is "dragon and tiger fighting" is salty and sweet, and it is not clear whether it is salty or sweet, but it is not coordinated. Salty, sweet and crispy with a great taste.
This Ding master barrel stove baked cake, near dongtai first middle school, is easier to find, because there is a door. A very small storefront, the entrance is full of battery cars, and there is a large bucket in front of the store, which is a large stove for baking baked cakes.
This is also a husband and wife shop, there are two people in the shop, and they are all local regular customers.
Asked, the raw materials of Dragon Tiger Dou are: flour, water, sugar, salt, baking powder, dry yeast, flour, lard, green onion, sugar, salt, honey water, sesame seeds, vegetable oil, etc.
Burnt cake 2 dollars a piece, quite a big one, for girls, a tube full. Women make sharp hands and feet on the side, and men are responsible for selling.
