Can you recommend some old Beijing delicacies?
What the editor recommends to you today is the delicacies of our capital, Beijing, which are both delicious and beautiful!
1. Quanjude Roast Duck
The most famous one is of course the roast duck. The founder of Quanjude is Yang Quanren. When he first arrived in Beijing, he sold raw chickens and ducks in Qianmenwai Meat Market Street. Yang Quanren has a detailed understanding of how to sell ducks, and his business is getting more and more prosperous. The main reasons why Quanjude has become a famous restaurant are its honest selection of ingredients, exquisite cooking skills and careful operation; and the warm hospitality of the restaurant staff. Nowadays, when it comes to Quanjude Roast Duck, anyone who comes to Beijing must eat it. Of course, it has also embarked on the international road and become a delicacy sought after all over the world.
The special sauce and the carefully roasted duck are just like a work of art on the dining table! Especially the duck skin roasted until golden brown and dipped in sauce, one or two plates is not enough!
2. The burning of 衡袢
When it comes to the burning of 衡袢, no one in "Old Beijing" does not know about it. It originated in the early Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 300 years. It not only has a long history, but also has a unique flavor. It is one of the traditional delicacies and snacks of old Beijing. "Huoshao" is famous for its thin skin, big stuffing, charred outside and tender inside, and delicious taste. After being made, it resembles the "huoshao" that people used to carry their belongings on their belts in the old days, hence the name, which means making a fortune.
With its golden appearance, it is a delicacy that the older generation talks about!
3. Donkey rolling
Donkey rolling is also a well-known snack. It is rolled with bean paste in yellow rice dough. However, after rolling it, roll it over the soybean noodles to let the surface soak. Put a layer of soybean noodles on it to prevent moisture from evaporating and causing dryness and cracking, which will affect the taste. It may be because of this last action that the humorous Beijingers named it donkey rolling. Donkey Rolling has a soft and glutinous texture and does not stick to your teeth. It is very popular in old Beijing.
It tastes fragrant and glutinous. Remember to ask the boss to roll the soy noodles a few more times when eating!
4. Old Beijing Yogurt
I believe that friends who like to drink yogurt are very familiar with Lao Yogurt, even if they have never tasted it. Old yogurt uses fresh milk as raw material, and the semi-finished products are filled into predetermined packages. After sealing, they undergo 72 hours of refrigerated fermentation. The production time is long and the shelf life is relatively short. Most of the yoghurts on the market have coagulants added, and the taste is certainly not comparable to that of old yoghurt! (Please don’t comment if you don’t like my personal opinion)
Okay, that’s it for today’s introduction to old Beijing delicacies. Friends who like it, please remember to pay attention~~
