Chapter 122: I'm from the Snow Mountain
Hungry at noon, come to Maggie Ami, legend has it that the girl that Cangyang Gyatso loves is called Maggie Ami, and the most eye-catching yellow building on Barkhor Street is said to be the place where they dated.
Entering the dining room, colorful striped card mats and placemats, wood carvings, colorful paintings, and utensils with national characteristics are strong.
Zhuoma said that all the ingredients are collected from the place of origin, including the chef, who is also a native of Tibet, and has integrated Sichuan cuisine to improve more than 20 Jiarong Tibetan dishes that meet the taste of the public, so that the taste buds can switch freely between vigor and grace.
There is no basis for speaking, and the food is served directly. Tusi raw roasted lamb chops, as the best mutton production area in China, most Tibetans live by grazing, cattle and sheep in the vast grassland pastoral area, eating fresh grass, drinking pure river water, being influenced by singing and dancing to grow up happily, the meat is delicious and full of vitality.
In order to ensure the original flavor, the chef specially brought a naan kang from his hometown, and put the whole piece of fresh goat chops into the kang and grilled it raw with charcoal until the skin and flesh turn a charming golden brown, and until the spices and bones are completely integrated, giving off an attractive aroma......
Full of a large plate, full of domineering, such a majestic lamb chop is enough for six or seven people to share.
Directly with your hands, the sound of the elastic mutton being torn by the teeth, the crispy aroma chewing in the mouth, the satisfaction of the mouth full of oil, and a glass of barley wine, the most beautiful thing is this......
Of course, the bear's paw of Jiarong Sai is not a real bear's paw, but a yak hoof.
First, simmer slowly over low heat to force out the gum of the yak hooves, then hollow out the inside of the tofu, fry it to a light golden color, and put the simmered yak hooves into the tofu and drizzle with the sauce.
When eating, gently open the lid of the tofu, see the yak skin meat in the heat oily and attractive, sticky meat, thick gum, slightly spicy, SC Johnson squinted his eyes in enjoyment, this is the right way to open the local specialty food journey!
Jiarong Fortune Hand, a local free-range pocket boar, is known for its toughness and elasticity, and its fragrance is strong. With fresh peppers, green onions, and celery, it is like a wild and untamed little pig, colliding everywhere between its teeth, setting off a gust of taste storm......
Hand grasp yak meat, yak is a unique cattle breed of the plateau, is a special product of high altitude, high cold, lack of oxygen in the special environment. Living in the natural plateau pastoral area, breathing the purest air, drinking clear mountain snow water, and eating the roots mixed with cordyceps, it is used to entertain the most distinguished guests.
Authentic yak meat is only cooked and cooled before being served, holding a knife in one hand and grasping the meat in the other, cutting and eating at the same time, and the straightforwardness and boldness of the plateau herdsmen can be seen at a glance.
The seasoning is only simple Tibetan salt, which comes from the ancient salt field of Mangkang Yanjing, which is rich in minerals and has a strong sense of layering. The dipping sauce is a chili noodle made from locally produced Sodosi chili peppers, which has thin skin, thick meat, and good taste, and is not spicy after eating.
The spring water that flows from the snow-capped mountains is sweet and sweet. The most delicious ingredients don't need to be complicated, and the most simple and original flavors are often king.
Johnson cut the fist-sized beef piece by piece with a knife, dipped it in chili flour, sprinkled it with salt, and sent it directly to his mouth, chewing it vigorously, and his cheeks were exerting force......
The most beautiful thing about a pot of beef is the layering of fat and thin, fat but not greasy, full of fat, and the heart is full of happiness.
Snowy yak hooves, whole yak hooves, stewed spicy, fragrant and glutinous, with crispy eggplant cakes, luxury and simplicity complement each other.
Fried yak sausages, yak sausages and blood sausages, unlike sausages, are eaten freshly filled and eaten by locals, without being smoked and sun-dried.
When SC Johnson tastes it, it has a rich ghee flavor, which not everyone is used to. Fortunately, in order to adapt to the taste of mass tourists, the meat sausage in this store has been slightly improved and slightly fried, but it has achieved a different food color.
Goat chops marinated in secret sauce, Tibetan potatoes fried until golden brown, and dried Malkang mushrooms are packed in tin foil, sprinkled with thick coarse salt on the surface, and baked in the oven for 15 minutes.
Use chopsticks to sweep away the layers of snow and uncover the tin foil, and the fragrance will fill your nose......
The reason why salt is used to make snow-capped mountains is because the plateau is cold, and salt has a thermal preservation effect, which ensures that you can eat hot dishes.
For SC Johnson, the most fascinating thing is the unremarkable Tibetan potato. After cooking, break it open, shiny, puffy, and taste full of pink and tender, and run down the throat......
The original soup is made of beef offal, the yak stick bone is added to the offal, and the soup is simmered slowly over low heat and hung into a milky white soup, which can be said to be the favorite of the Tibetans, and even eats it with flower rolls and chili peppers for breakfast.
Fruit yogurt salad, the first bite of the belly, instantly has a feeling of empowerment:
I've eaten yogurt anywhere before and it's just mediocre!
Harvest barley from Jiarong Tibet, grind it into powder, pour it into freshly squeezed vegetable juice, and brand it into a green cake, you can experience the industrious wisdom of the local people in the faint taste of barley, and the vegetable fiber encountered in every bite is full of the taste of nature.
Serve with yogurt......
Finally, there is a large plate of yak meat buns, the meat filling is bulging, dipped in Tibetan chili sauce to eat, the Indian chili pepper is ground into powder and added to the seasoning sauce, dipped in buns, dipped in dumplings, dipped in potatoes, as if riding on the yak, galloping in the vast grassland......
Everyone was burping and walking on the verge of floating, SC Johnson was satisfied, and what could be more exciting than exotic food?
If there is,
That is when it is pressed on Dolma, it is like conquering a wild horse, dangerous and exciting, fortunately in good health, otherwise I was almost killed!
The next day, head straight to Sheep Lake, one of the three sacred lakes, the closest to the city, about two hours by car, and the lowest elevation of the sacred lake.
The coral lake, which the locals call the Heavenly Pasture, is not only the literal meaning of Yang Zhuo Yongcuo, but also because she does resemble a coral. On the map, you will find many forks, stretching out in all directions like coral.
Zhuoma leaned on the side of the somewhat tired Johnson, worthy of a girl who had been baptized by the plateau, still fierce, pointing to the blue lake in the distance and saying: "Compared with Namtso and Mapanyongcuo, the beauty of Sheep Lake is very distinctive. Because of the graceful shape of the lake, and the undulating mountains around it. Especially under the sun, at different times and places, it will change extremely rich layers of blue or green, like a dream, colorful......"
"That's why we call her the most delicate of the sacred lakes!"
Legend has it that she can help believers find the reincarnated spirit child, and after passing away, she will come here to chant and pray, and after a series of rituals, the person who presides over the ceremony can see the manifestation from the lake and determine the specific location of the spirit child. ”
"Hiking, kite flying, beautiful sunsets and sunrises, self-service hot pot, movie music and bonfires, taking starry sky blockbusters, lying in the starry sky tent and counting the stars in the dazzling galaxy world to sleep......"
"You can think of all the fun of camping here, but the only thing that stands out is that you are next to a beautiful holy lake at an altitude of 4,441 meters!"
