This winter in Wuhan is particularly cold, and we have already started wearing cotton jackets before entering winter. When going out in winter, be sure to eat warm food to resist the cold. So what do Wuhan people like to eat in winter? What are the best foods to eat in winter in Wuhan? Let's take a look at what they have.
1. Yuanzi
I believe that for the vast majority of Wuhan people, Yuanzi is definitely ranked first. Meatballs are cooked outside and tender inside. Fish round, fresh and tender with elastic teeth. One by one, round and plump, with abundant meat, delicious and solid, round and round, it is both delicious and colorful.
There are two best schools of rounders in Wuhan.One is Huangpi Yuanzi, which is represented by "Yang Yongxing Huangpi Sanxian". Its founder is Yang Yanwen, who is said to have carefully selected two-year-old fresh Mulan Lake fat head fish, fresh branded pork, and mountain raised eggs, using the simplest and most authentic ingredients to create a century old delicacy. Yang Yongxing's "Three Delicacies in Huangpi", which is composed of fish balls, meat balls and meat cakes, is the representative of traditional delicacies in Huangpi.
Another faction is the promotion of Tsubasa Watanabe. After the Winter Solstice, Huazhen Restaurant, Tengfei Restaurant, Shengguandu Roast Duck, and Lao Dazhong Liangjiang Fish in the Shengguandu area all started frying dumplings. Which one is the best? Netizens' memories of roses on Toulang: It's true. Before the 2020 Spring Festival, I went to Tengfei Restaurant to buy a bag, and then went to Huazhen not far away to buy another bag. They were all hot and freshly cooked, and it was indeed Huazhen's that tasted better (in my personal opinion). It was these two bags of round balls that helped me get through those difficult days. The name of Huazhen Restaurant comes from the combination of the names of the owner's husband and wife (Li Wenzhen, Yuan Dehua). The hotel's business has always been thriving and well-known far and wide. Master Yuan, the master of Huazhen Yuanzi, has been an apprentice for more than 50 years. He said that in his early years, he only served wine and wedding banquets for others. Later, he devoted himself to studying and found that everything was not difficult. Started building hotels after 1995 and mastered the craft. In the early days, restaurants had three main dishes: chicken hot pot, braised lotus root with fish, and three fresh hot pot. Of course, meatballs are the best! According to Master Yuan, his rounders are made with exquisite ingredients. The fish is a big grass carp from Xinzhou, which is pollution-free and must have green and black scales, a small belly, and even ends. Pork is fresh meat that needs to be freshly slaughtered. This is raw material. Secondly, there is hygiene. This kind of round is delicious. There is also a saying that goes, "Huazhen's round noodles are fresh and visible, with two large pieces of fungus, yellow flower vegetables, and fried fish. The soup is fresh and colorful, and everyone loves it too early." Huazhen Restaurant is located at Exit B of Hanyang Sixin Avenue Subway Station, adjacent to Yuan Yinjia, the largest turtle restaurant in Hanyang.
2. Lamb
The earliest place to eat lamb in Wuhan is Cai'e Road, where you eat grilled skewers. Nowadays, people are becoming more and more demanding and want to eat the Tan sheep from Ningxia and the sheep from Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia. For example, the high plateau style, * *'s hand grabbed lamb chops; For example, three skewers of seasonal lamb skewers from Hulunbuir; For example, Yuan Yinjia's grilled lamb chops with turtles, the ultimate freshness of fish and sheep; For example, Wan Qingzhai, Avanti, and so on.
3. Beef pot
There are two major schools of beef in Wuhan, one is Dijiao, which has declined in recent years, and the other is Caidian, which has become a popular destination for city dwellers to go on outings.
. Caidian's Kaxing, Yanzi, Mosquito, Guoguo, Hu, Xiaomei, Fang Hongjun, Xinnong... are all famous. The only drawback is that the distance is too far. What should I do? Having lived on Qinyuan Road for many years, I have witnessed the changes here, the growth and perseverance of late night snacks, and the sound of waves rising and falling in the sand lake. I love this small town story alone. The Wuchang headquarters is located behind the Hongxiang Road bus stop on Qinyuan Middle Road, near the Yangtze River Tunnel. It may seem easy to miss by mistake, but for me, a loyal fan, it's easy to find. This is an old store that has been in operation for 11years, with two floors but spacious and bright, keeping up with the times.
My favorite dishes here are the clay pot steak (beef tile groove) and crab trotters, which are still very trendy to this day.
The clay pot steak is cooked very soft and tender. The beef is Caidian beef, and the soup is incredibly delicious.
. In winter, a bowl of soup can cure the fatigue of a day as an office worker. The key is that the price is particularly cost-effective, only 98 yuan, stunned!Crab foot noodles. For the first time, I found that crabs and Hot dry noodles can be matched so well.
4. Turtle
Have you tried all these ways to eat turtle? The people of Wuhan can be said to have eaten turtles with a variety of dishes, including catfish belly, bullfrog, eel, lamb chops, cow hooves, bullwhip, and chicken. Which one do you love the most? There are also turtle pickled rice, turtle soup Hot dry noodles... Are you dazzled? This is the charm of Yuan Yinjia, the master of the most diverse turtle making techniques in Wuhan.
Recently, his house also has turtle and pigeon soup, which is really delicious and warm! Who said that Wuhan people only have pork ribs and lotus root soup, and turtle soup is the most luxurious and delicious soup that can be compared to Guangdong people's soup making, but with a strong interest in Jingchu culture! You can reminisce about the delicious Eight Trigrams Soup from Little Peach Garden back then! The boss is also too honest, he's like a big pot! Massive! Just need to sit down and place an order to avoid waiting for too long. But the good taste is worth waiting for, with a price of only 148 yuan, which is better than chicken soup.
It is worth mentioning that there is also turtle offal, which is cooking the turtle liver of dozens of turtles into a dish, which is the most luxurious.
. I have seen many turtles, and it is the first time I have seen turtle liver piled up like this. It is said that one serving is worth 178 yuan, which can be described as luxurious. Turtle liver, tender as tofu, is rich in beneficial nutrients such as vitamin A, B2, and niacin for the human body.5. Chicken Soup
Recently, I wandered around three towns in Wuhan and tried several Cantonese restaurants. Whether it was roasted goose or char siu, they all made it incredibly delicious. Roasted geese are thin and dry, as if they haven't eaten enough. Some merchants even use ducks to make up for their losses, which surprises me greatly. With a heart full of determination, I ran all the way from Wuchang to the Yuexiu Victoria Harbour Shopping Center in Hankou just for Dong Ge's roasted goose. Just after finishing work on a weekday, Dong Ge called out to me, 'Only the last portion of roasted goose is left...' So, after fifty minutes of trekking through mountains and rivers, we finally arrived.
The roasted goose at noon was specially left for me until evening. Of course, it didn't have a very good crispy skin, but the roasted goose is really plump and beautiful. You can imagine its plump appearance, shining light, and the crispy skin when it first enters the mouth.. As usual, Rushan oysters are great, they can be eaten in their original flavor and delicious, or dipped in a little mustard sauce. They are different from the small ones that rush up the nose. Moreover, the price is really cost-effective, so you don't have to worry about wallet issues.
Local chicken soup is the signature of Shunyi. Originating from the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, this wandering chicken has the bloodline of a wild rooster breed. With a growth period of over 180 days, the meat of the native chicken is firm, and the initial taste of the chicken soup is bland. The aftertaste is truly as pure as a virgin, without giving a single MSG, allowing everything to return to its original state, smooth and natural. Plants have life, animals have life, and even in dishes, we can see the mountains, the moon, and hear the wind. Those lives are integrated with our physical bodies. This is the charm of Shunyi Restaurant, a chef who has been exploring the Cantonese cuisine market for decades, and the ingenuity of Dong Ge. Nature, stubbornness, never giving up
6. Lotus Root Soup
After leaving Wuhan for ten years, I miss the bowl of lotus root soup that every family cooked when I was a child the most.
Wuhan people must drink "pork ribs and lotus root soup" during the Chinese New Year, and the most fragrant soup is the "Hubei San Wu Chun" soup.
Slow simmering rich soup with lotus root powder, sticky meat and bone aroma, beautifully packaged in a gift box sand jar, noble and not expensive imperial yellow;
Delicious without envy * Jumping over the wall, learning from orderly skills, selling 580 servings per day, and famous for the delicious pork ribs and lotus root soup.
7. Chuan Hot Pot
Not fond of hot pot, only fond of Chuan
Yonghong Chuan, named after its founder Luo Yonghong (the difference between him and Luo Yonghao). It is said that 22 years ago, it was still called Leshan Spicy Hot Pot. Later, it moved to Wuhan Sports Academy and changed its name to this one. Yonghong Chuanchuan is a university cafeteria for countless martial arts enthusiasts, no wonder the individual from the sports institute is tall and powerful, and has an inseparable relationship with Yonghong Chuanchuan haha.
The key to skewers lies in the bottom of the pot. His family uses Leshan hotpot base as the basis and adds their own secret recipe to make it. The red soup is fresh, fragrant, numbing, and spicy, with a full flavor; The white soup is authentic, salty, fresh and refreshing.
The signature feature of Yonghong skewers is its ageless beef, which remains tender even after prolonged cooking and is highly recommended. A good sign requires a variety of designs. This cabinet of skewers allows handsome men and beautiful women to choose freely. Last winter, I organized a "clay pot party" at Yuanyinjia on the Wuchang River beach. My friend Xingtai praised us very much. His original words -
Before we started eating clay pot, my mind still remembered the scene of eating "clay pot white meat" with classmates in Beijing's clay pot house ten years ago. However, tonight Master Yang set us up a table of "clay pot gatherings". Good guy, the first one is a hard dish, turtle and pigeon clay pot, which is nourishing and delicious. The second pot is a clay pot made of Ningxia Tan sheep and Huangpi mung bean balls. The taste of "long-distance love" is quite good, and mung bean balls are the highlight. Huanggu Fish Meatball is the third pot. There are radishes in Huangpi Maidi. It feels fresh and sweet! Halfway through the fourth pot of steak in a clay pot, add fresh cilantro and stir until it's half cooked before removing it. One is refreshing, and the other is strong and fragrant. It's really the best partner. After finishing our conversation, it was already late at night, and we even caught the last bus. Hey! This luck.
I miss the clay pot a bit!
