Hubei cuisine has a delicate side. In addition to delicious dishes, snacks are also a major landscape in Hubei. Let's talk about the special food in Hubei!

First, Xiaogan hemp sugar

When it comes to Xiaogan, Hubei, people must first think of Bai Rushuang, the fragrant Xiaogan sesame candy. Xiaogan sesame candy tastes crisp, with sesame aroma, light osmanthus and mellow glutinous rice. A thin piece of sesame candy, sweet and delicious, melts in the mouth and has an endless aftertaste.

Xiaogan sesame candy is mainly made of glutinous rice, sesame and white sugar. Xiaogan sesame candy is made into fragrant white as snow after complicated production, grinding and baking. It is said that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was full of praise after taking a bite of Xiaogan sesame candy, so this folk snack became a royal tribute with high quality and good price. Now Xiaogan sesame candy is a traditional food famous overseas in Hubei Province, and it is one of the important symbols of specialty products in Hubei Province.

Second, Wuhan Regan Noodles

Regan Noodles is one of the most famous snacks in Wuhan. According to incomplete statistics, Wuhan people eat an average of 6 million bowls of Regan Noodles every day! Boil the medium-cooked alkaline noodles in boiling water, and sprinkle with red pepper, sour beans and chopped green onion while it is hot. Stir up and down and mix well, the fragrance is overflowing! Holding a bowl of crazy dazzling, a bowl of hearty, the whole person refreshed ~

Regan Noodles is the first choice snack in Wuhan (Wuhan people call breakfast "premature"), so it is needless to say that Wuhan people have feelings for it. Only people from other places think of Wuhan again, mostly because they think of Regan Noodles in Wuhan. Regan Noodles is not only a snack for Wuhan people or friends who have stayed in Wuhan for some time, but also a feeling.

Third, Yichang shrimp

Cold shrimp is made of rice slurry. After it is cooked, the white pulp is leaked into cold water with a colander. Yichang people call it "cold shrimp" because of its shrimp-like shape and cold nature.

When I was a child, the cold shrimp was basically sold by cart. A plastic bowl or cup with cool shrimp and sweet-scented osmanthus sour plum juice is my expectation on my way to school. It is like shrimp, not like shrimp, smooth and refreshing, soft and sweet. Taste it, and its teeth and cheeks will remain fragrant, full of Yichang flavor. It is also a well-deserved representative of "Yichang on the tip of the tongue" snack industry. In 2020, the production technology of Yichang cool shrimp was listed in the list of non-legacy representative projects in Hubei Province.

Four, three fresh bean skin

Sanxian bean skin is one of the most distinctive local traditional snacks in Hubei. It is said that eating three fresh bean skins is more enjoyable than eating meat, so the taste is still very good! Three fresh bean skin is a delicious food that Wuhan people like to eat too early. Usually eat at breakfast stalls in the streets and lanes. People in Wuhan can't get tired of eating, and it is also served in some special restaurants or restaurants at noon or evening.

Sanxian bean skin is made of glutinous rice and bean skin. "Sanxian" refers to stuffing made of fresh meat, fresh mushrooms and fresh bamboo shoots, and this "bean skin" is also an unusual bean skin, mainly made of mung beans and rice. The fried bean skin is crisp outside and tender inside, oily but not greasy, square and thin, golden in color and crisp and tender to eat.

V. ribs lotus root soup

People in Hubei love to drink soup, and there is a saying that "without soup, nothing can be achieved", the most famous of which are sparerib soup and lotus root soup. As we all know, Hubei is rich in lotus root, which is tender and white. Raw food is sweet, and stew is soft and rotten. Therefore, ribs lotus root soup is also one of the necessary dishes for Hubei to receive distinguished guests.

Ribs lotus root soup is the soup I drank since I was a child. If I had to choose the representative of hubei cuisine, I would definitely recommend lotus root soup. For Hubei people, ribs lotus root soup represents the taste of home. Now even if you can eat this dish everywhere, if you don't use Hubei good lotus root, the taste will not be a little worse!

There are many specialties in Hubei. This is just a part of it. Welcome to Hubei when you are free!
