What are the famous local snacks in Lanzhou?

Milk and egg paste Lanzhou Zhengning Road Night Market is a famous snack street in Lanzhou. Grey beans, sweet preserved fruits and milk egg paste are the three most famous desserts. Among them, milk and egg paste is a hometown flavor that Lanzhou people are familiar with since childhood.

I didn't expect that milk and mash can also produce wonderful chemical reactions. A pot of boiled fresh milk, a spoonful of fermented grains and a handful of dried fruits make this special drink rich in layers. The delicious taste of milk itself has become the main theme of food, and the dried fruit has increased the taste and chewiness. The refreshing and sweet mash is the finishing touch of this special snack.

The milk and egg paste in Laoma's house is the hottest stall on Zhengning Road, so you should be prepared to queue up every time you go.

Fermented skin is a kind of dough steamed with flour syrup. There are two kinds, one is common fermented skin, also called "washed fermented skin", and the other is high-load fermented skin. The most famous thing in Lanzhou is the high-load stuffed skin. It is said that in the past, producers always took the burden to sell in the streets, which was named after the heavy burden.

Niangpi is a famous local snacks in northwest China. Niangpi is a kind of food made of flour, and its color is crystal clear and Huang Liang, translucent as jade. Cut it into chopsticks-thick strips, and add seasonings such as soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic juice, Chili oil and refined salt to serve.

Fried powder and bean jelly in summer can not only quench thirst, but also enjoy delicious food, which everyone loves. However, in the winter when thousands of miles are frozen and Wan Li is snowing, bean jelly is daunting. Therefore, Lanzhou people have created a unique way to eat bean jelly, that is, to fry bean jelly in an oil pan in winter, which is Lanzhou fried powder with unique flavor.

Stir-fried powder is a snack that cuts into mahjong tiles and puts them into an oily pot, adds sugar, chopped green onion and refined salt, and constantly stirs them until they are golden and hot.

According to personal taste, it is better to pour some garlic juice, sesame sauce, Chili oil and vinegar.

Sweet candied fruit "Sweet candied fruit, the old man's doll drools, one bowl and two bowls can appetize, and three bowls and four bowls can top the meal". People in Lanzhou are indispensable to sweet candied fruit. In the past, as long as the shouts of selling sweet candied fruit rang, the stalls would be immediately surrounded by adults and children, and their attraction would not lose to the current stars and reds. As long as children are greedy and eat two bowls, they will blush and giggle. "Look, the child is drunk!"

As soon as Tomb-Sweeping Day passed, Lanzhou people began to make candied fruit. The practice of candied fruit is a bit like fermented grains, but the difference is that candied fruit is mostly made of oats or highland barley. Peel and steam highland barley or oat, add distiller's yeast, mix well, put in a porcelain basin or jar, and keep warm on a hot kang or stove.

With the development of the times, candied fruit has also undergone new changes. On a whim, the dessert shop in Lanzhou combined the northwest specialty candied fruit with ordinary tea to create today's famous "candied milk tea", which can be tasted in many dessert shops in Lanzhou.

Grey beans are in Lanzhou. Most snack bars in Lanzhou sell grey beans, and they are very popular. Whether it is cold in winter or hot in summer, Lanzhou people's enthusiasm for gray beans has never diminished.

Grey beans originated in Lanzhou and have a history of more than 300 years. They are mainly cooked with sesame, peas and dates. When cooking beans, add ash and alkali, and simmer for at least six hours, so that the cooked beans can be made into bean paste.
