How to treat the living beads in Nanjing? Is it famous?

I believe everyone in Nanjing knows about live beads and eggs. Some people think this ugly "egg" is a great tonic, and some people can't accept it when they break open the eggshell and see the chickens that haven't hatched. As for Xiao Ou, he liked to eat when he was a child, but now he is a little afraid to eat when he grows up.

In my memory, when I was a child, I lived with my parents near Ganghongyuan in Qinhuai District, Nanjing. Old Nanjing knew that Qinhuai District is the old city of Nanjing, where you can always meet authentic Nanjing cuisine. For example, Xiao Ou was there, and I witnessed the prosperity of the famous "JOE Roast Duck Restaurant". For example, a bowl of 2.5 duck blood vermicelli soup lingered in my childhood, and the "king egg" floated in the iron basin of a food stall.

My mother sometimes takes me to the market to buy vegetables, and this roadside stall of king eggs always succeeds in attracting our attention. Sit down and call me "half chicken and half egg". My mother calls herself "whole chicken". When the eggshell was broken and dipped in salt and pepper, the taste really impressed me. Actually, I personally prefer the taste of salt and pepper.

There must be some readers who want to correct me when I write here. A king's egg and a living bead are not the same thing. Of course I know. There are still some differences between king eggs and live beads. King eggs are eggs that have failed to hatch, and live beads are eggs that hatch for about 12 days. The taste of the two is also very different. Live beads are more delicious and have higher nutritional value.

Just a few days ago, my mother went to Liuhe to buy some "eggs" and cooked them for me to eat "live beads". I refused again and again, but I was afraid to accept it. My mother is happy to eat them.

This is the story of my eggs and live beads with Nanjing Wang. They are one of my memories of living in Nanjing.

Hairy egg? We call them live eggs, which are eaten here in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and are available in our food market. They are delicious.

The market bought one 1.5. It seems that everyone usually buys one. This is too nutritious to eat too much. Go home and steam with rice, steam for a while and dry for a while, or dry for a while, otherwise it will not taste good if it is cold. Put a pinch of salt, shake well and have a sip of soup. This taste does not mean that chicken soup is delicious. Note: don't put too much salt, otherwise the salt is not for you. Salt is for mixing soup, not for eating meat. Meat can be dipped in soy sauce later.

As a lover of living beads, I once wrote a graphic called "Nanjing street snacks, real dark dishes, do you dare to eat?" ",introducing famous snacks, live beads and live eggs in Nanjing. Welcome to search and watch. Let's talk about the dark dish of live beads.

Live beads are eggs that have been hatched for about 12 days. Although the chicken inside is not fully formed, it is no longer like an ordinary egg.

Live beads look like this.

The procedure of eating live beads is as follows: find a stall selling live beads and sit down. The stall owner will give you a small dish covered with the smallest disposable plastic bag, and then squeeze a little salt and pepper out of the big Sprite bottle. After eating, pour water from another big Sprite bottle to wash your hands, and then hand you a dirty towel to wipe your hands.

When eating, there is a trick. You should take your time to knock a small hole and finish a bag of soup in the egg first. We call it "chicken soup", which tastes particularly delicious. Then we peel off the eggshell and dip it in the salt and pepper made by the stall owner.

Salt and pepper are the standard of living beads.

Liu (Lu) in Nanjing is the birthplace of living beads. You can sell 200,000 live beads a day in the peak season. Friends who travel to Nanjing, dare you try this dark dish?

The nutritional composition of embryonic eggs is unclear, but what is certain is that due to the development of chickens, the protein yolk of eggs has been denatured, and there should be a lot of amino acids, which are fresh and natural, and nothing else can be described.

The point is, live beads are different from another snack, that is, king eggs. The biggest difference is that live beads are alive, and king eggs are not hatched, so they can take many forms, but they must be dead bad guys, so some are hairy and some are not. King egg is another flavor, but it has some deterioration. If the chicken structure is formed without hatching, it is called whole chicken. If an egg stopped developing or was hypoplastic a long time ago, that egg has actually been dead for a few days. Therefore, Wang Egg generally recommends eating whole chicken.

Living beads, Nanjing Liuhe native products, sound tall, but they are actually prosperous eggs. Eggs and chickens are taken out after three days on the kang stove. At this time, the eggs begin to form embryos, and the embryos have the highest nutritional value. It tastes as cooked as boiled eggs, but some people are not used to it, but it is really good. Don't eat too much. Now this is a must for Liuhe rural banquet!

I like to eat king eggs, and the marinade drops one meter. Eat it all.
