Northwest cities have great similarities in food, but they can also create their own unique flavors. Apart from the famous Lanzhou Lamian Noodles, what else can Zhangye eat? Do you want to know? Below, the editor will introduce it to everyone. Let's take a look together
Braised Noodles
There is nothing more satisfying for Zhangye people than a bowl of hot braised noodles in the morning. Paired with steamed buns, it is the first choice for locals to open a day
The sticky texture of the braised noodles always reminds me of the old Beijing style braised noodles. Slices of meat, chopped green onions, and diced tofu are used to thicken the sauce and poured on top of the noodles. Due to the addition of pepper, it tastes a bit spicy. In order to maintain the toughness of the noodles, the alkali added during kneading gives the noodles a rare alkaline taste similar to southern noodles. I am personally worried about this taste, but the locals around me are eating it very well, and I absolutely love it
Beef Noodles
Zhangye people must have breakfast every day. Many southerners only know beef noodles (Lanzhou Lamian Noodles), but they don't know it has many kinds. Pickled Chinese cabbage, soy sauce meat, clear soup, one thin, two thin, capillary, leek leaf, big width...
Rougamo
freshly baked cake, with a layer of specially marinated meat, sticky but not greasy. The fragrance of noodles blends perfectly with the aroma of meat. Crispy and refreshing
Vegetable box
The dough is wrapped in a large filling and fried until golden brown. It tastes crispy and has a fragrant filling
Beef rice
Compared to braised noodles, beef rice seems more appealing
Beef rice, although referred to as "rice", is actually "noodles". Northwest people love to eat noodles and are better at making them into various shapes. The so-called "small rice" is to cut the dough into small cubes the size of rice grains. The grains in the soup are clear. If you don't look closely, you really think it is a Congee made of rice
Stir fried Teapot
Everyone who has been to Ganzhou Market or Folk Music One Cross knows its unique flavor
Rubbing Fish Caviar
When we learned that we were going to eat rubbing fish roe next, our southern friends couldn't hold back anymore: why are the names of Northwest snacks so funny, such as stir fry, rubbing fish roe, and braised noodles...
It seems that Northern food names are good at using "shape", while Southern people pay more attention to "meaning"? After all, the first time I heard of "pickled fresh", "old friend fan", and "* jumping off the wall", I also had a big black question mark face
When they finally tasted stir fried fish, the southern friends finally stopped talking - these two pointed, fish shaped noodles were stir fried and covered with a layer of pan heat similar to stir fried noodles. There is always an irresistible temptation for food with pot atmosphere blessing. In this regard, pasta has never bowed to Rice noodles
Pour vinegar on top, then add garlic, and after a bowl of snoring, the momentum of the Northwest man eating noodles all comes out
Hand held lamb
Its way of eating best reflects the boldness of Zhangye people. Dip it in garlic paste and salt water and eat it directly, without losing any freshness or tenderness of the lamb. Good lamb, divided by season. The taste of lamb meat varies depending on the location and feeding method of the sheep. In Zhangye, the sheep in Hongshawo, Sanzha Town are of the highest quality, with elastic and non herniated meat, while the sheep in Sunan are the fattest and most beautiful
Apricot Peel Water
Apricot Peel Water is written in Lanzhou, but it is actually available throughout the entire Gansu region. It is made by boiling dried apricot peels and filtering them with rock sugar. It has a sweet and sour taste with a strong apricot flavor. Personally, I really like it, and I usually have a glass whenever I see something for sale
The soft packaging sold on the street belongs to the batch production of manufacturers. The freshly boiled apricot peel water is not easy to touch. There is a Xiaoying snack street in Zhangye, but unfortunately it was sold out when I went there (sad face). A cup of apricot peel water+stir fry or stir fry fish is a perfect match for Zhangye
