A foodie’s trip to Chaozhou, bring 100 yuan to taste the authentic Chaoshan delicacies

Xiao Ma talks about traveling and seeing a different world. Guangdong is often forgotten in my travels. Perhaps it is my personal bias. For a long time, I have always felt that there are not many places worth visiting in Guangdong. It seems that Shenzhen and Guangzhou represent most of Guangzhou. In fact, this prejudice is wrong. An accidental trip to Chaozhou changed my impression of Guangdong greatly. This may be some of the simplicity and profound things in Guangdong.

In addition to the cultural heritage and ancient buildings that left a good impression on me when I came to Chaoshan, I seemed to be even more impressed by the food here. When it comes to Chaozhou, one cannot talk about Chaoshan cuisine. It has always been famous all over the world for its "color, aroma, taste and shape" and is known as one of China's most distinctive dishes. There is a saying from ancient times to the present that “Wherever there is trend in the world, there are trendsetters, and wherever there are trendsetters, there are Chaozhou restaurants.” This is enough to prove the unique charm of Chaoshan cuisine.

For those who travel alone, Chaoshan cuisine is actually quite embarrassing, because one person cannot order so many dishes, so the next best thing is Chaoshan snacks. Travel, spring cakes, rat shell cakes, salt water cakes, duck mother twists, beef balls, rice rolls, rice noodles, rice noodles, etc. With 100 yuan, you can basically taste all these authentic delicacies, which are often not in scenic spots. , but hidden in the streets or just a small shop, the taste is better than those magnificent restaurants, this is the smell of fireworks.

Among the snacks in Chaoshan, my favorite is beef offal noodles, which I have heard about before Chaoshan existed. Looking at the boss's skillful gestures, I guess the process is not complicated. First, put salt and other seasonings into a bowl. Boil the glutinous rice noodles in boiling water. Drain with a colander and put them into the bowl. Put a handful of bean sprouts into the water and blanch them. Pile them on top of the glutinous rice noodles. Then add the beef offal in the same way. Blanch it in water and put all the ingredients into a bowl, then add the most essential part which is the secret beef bone soup. In addition, the toppings of beef balls and minced ginger are also the finishing touch. Every ingredient and staple food is indispensable. If the same thing is missing, the taste will be completely different.

Besides rice cakes, Xiao Ma’s favorite is Chaoshan rice rolls, which are generally divided into sweet and salty flavors and are usually eaten in the morning or as a late night snack. Rice rolls are very simple, usually 2-3 minutes is enough for one serving. Although the time is simple, the taste is not compromised at all. There are many raw materials, including beef, pork, shrimp, cabbage, bean sprouts, etc., which can be stuffed. After putting the rice rolls on a plate and pouring a special sauce from the store, I always feel that eating one plate is really not enough every time.
