Section 309 Hubei Cuisine (3)

Zeng Lu looked at the recipe with bated breath for a long time, and then asked curiously, by the way, Xiao Er, what is this, what kind of soup powder is written on it?

Could it be that the soup is mushy? I really can't think of what it means?" Xiao Er smiled and said, "This is a reputation."

"Wuhan is a must" fresh fish paste soup noodles soaked fritters, is a classic Chinese flavor food. It is Wuhan people's mutton steamed bun, and its traditional significance and historical connotation are not inferior to mutton steamed buns.

A bowl of paste soup powder with the fragrance of fresh fish wafts on the face, and the smell and taste of the water town Zeguo and the land of fish and rice come to the face.

The soup is made of two or three inches long wild crucian carp, and the natural environment, the naturally growing wild crucian carp has dense and compact flesh and tastes extremely delicious.

We all bought the baby crucian carp the day before, then washed it, put it on a simmer, and boiled it all night.

The fish meat was boiled into shape, the bones were almost boiled, and the fish meat and fish bone marrow were all melted into the soup. The fish soup made with fresh fish boiled all night has a strong flavor and juice, and the aftertaste is a little sweet, which is held in the mouth and leaves a fragrant taste on the lips and teeth.

The rice flour used to make paste soup powder is made by grinding indica rice into a pulp, and the rice flour is as fine as thread powder, white and slender, and has a flexible and strong taste. Zeng Lu said happily: "Okay, bring me a bowl." "The others couldn't wait to eat a bowl too.

Xiao Erli ran to the back kitchen to order, my eyes involuntarily drifted over, only to see the chef in the back kitchen, skillfully scooped up half a spoonful of fish paste soup with a wooden spoon and put it into the bowl, and then used a bamboo bucket to put a handful of white rice noodles, scalded a few times in the boiling water pot, scooped up, and put it into the bowl containing the fish paste soup with a quick action, and then calmly sprinkled with green onions. Colorful condiments such as diced radish are really beautiful to look at, colorful, beautiful and delicious, and after a while, Xiao Er happily came over with the fragrant paste soup powder and steaming fritters.

We followed the example of the diners at the table next to us, and pinched the fritters into inch lengths with our hands and gently put them into the bowl.

Soft, long, hot fritters dip into the soup and make a sizzling sound. We couldn't wait to eat it in our mouths, it was really fragrant, delicious, and worthy of its name.

Hu Jiaojiao ate deliciously, and said happily: "By the way, this sugar tamale-" Xiaofei said to me with a hippie smile: "I just accidentally heard that it was Tang monk meat, which scared me, I thought we had become monsters in Journey to the West." I grinned and said, "Yes, I feel the same way." I only heard Hu Jiaojiao continue to dance and say: "I feel good about my heart, I want to have a copy." The little two were full of praise and said: "It seems that the guest officer has a good eye, this is one of our famous traditional steamed dishes in Hubei, and it enjoys a good reputation like the three steamed dishes in Hubei." The people of Huangpi are exquisite

"Sugar steaming", every New Year's festival festive banquet, to make a mellow red, symbolizing sweetness, symbolizing sweetness, festive and auspicious dishes, it is sugar steamed pork, as a hospitality dish. Xiao Fei whispered to me: "I know this dish, it is said that this dish also has some origin with Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty, but this famous celebrity has not yet been born, legend has it that Su Dongpo, a famous writer and gourmand in the Song Dynasty, in the second year of Yuanfeng of the Northern Song Dynasty, was demoted because of the Wutai poetry case, and when he lived in Huangzhou, Hubei, he once traveled to Huangpi Mulan Mountain to give lectures. At that time, there were many scholars. However, this matter was learned by the magnates, and the Shangshu court slandered Su Dongpo, gathered a crowd of Huangpi, and slandered the dynasty. After listening to the treacherous rumors, Song Shenzong sent people to visit Huangpi's lecture place secretly, but did not collect slanderous words, so he came up with ingenuity to interview students to find flaws and add guilt to Dongpo. Immediately, the examiner pointed to the small pagoda and said: The spire of the pagoda has seven layers in all directions. The students were embarrassed for a moment, and they raised their hands and shook their heads speechlessly. At this time, the visitor rebuked Dongpo: Where are you lecturing, and it is clear that you are using the past to satirize the present and have other plans, why is there no one who can answer the question? After hearing this, Dongpo smiled coldly and said: Didn't the students answer your last sentence correctly one by one? Dongpo replied contemptuously: "The students replied one after another, saying that the jade hand shook five fingers, two short and three long, and no one answered. At this point, the visitor was speechless and left the east slope as soon as he heard it. The students present admired Dongpo's knowledge and courage even more. At that time, in order to reward the teacher, the students bought pork, red and white sugar, which Dongpo likes to eat. The careless student accidentally mixed sugar and pork together, and when he was leaving it uncertain, Dongpo saw this situation and walked slowly to read the letter: salty and idle officials and guests disdain, and the sweet porpoise can be called fresh. Therefore, under the guidance of Dongpo, the students added pork and sugar to other condiments, mixed well, and steamed them together. Since then, the method of making steamed pork has been passed down in the local area.

I was full of praise and said, "I see, Xiao Er, I also want a copy of this tamale." After a while, several large plates of fragrant and glutinous and delicious, melted in the mouth, and the beautiful steamed pork came up, and was immediately swept away by the salivating we.
