Introduction to Xiuyan Sanzi

Sanzi is an ancient food in China.

. Twist glutinous Rice noodles or flour into string, twist it like a ring, and deep fry it in oil pan until it is golden yellow. It is extremely crispy, which is a common food for the north and south. According to the Mingkao, "Eating it with string is called Huan Cake, or Han Ju, or Sanzi today." As the saying goes, "It is sweet to have a little fragrance, beautiful to have mooncakes, and sweet and crisp to have Sanzi"

A snack of the Hui ethnic group, which is made by boiling raw materials such as brown sugar, honey, Sichuan peppercorns, and red onion skins in water, and adding an appropriate amount of eggs, clear oil, and noodles. It is then repeatedly kneaded and pressed to form thick strips, twisted into dough, and kneaded or stretched into circular strips with uniform thickness and arranged in an orderly manner.

It is then fried in oil until it turns brown yellow. It is now a daily Dim sum. In Anhui region, during festivals, it is customary to offer sacrifices to ancestors and give gifts to each other. The Hui and Dongxiang ethnic groups also make fried dough sticks, with different ingredients and methods compared to the Han ethnic group

Sanzi, also known as Hanju, was recorded in detail in Jia Sixie's "Qi Min Yao Shu" during the Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The production method of Xiuyan Sanzi was described in detail.

. For cold utensils, the usual explanation is that ancient people ate cold food without any fireworks in the morning and evening, and could only eat cold rice. However, eating cold rice is not good for people's digestive system, far less durable than fried food and does not harm the digestive system. Therefore, people fried some circular noodles in advance as fast food during the cold food period. As a tool used during the Cold Food Festival, it is called a "cold tool". This type of explanation may not be reliable, but there is currently no more reliable explanation

There is another anecdote about cold utensils. It is said that there was a great general named Huan Xuan during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This person was elegant and collected a large number of precious paintings and calligraphy. He also loved to show off and would bring them out for people to admire together whenever friends came to visit. One day, we invited guests and held a grand banquet. After being full of wine and food, we also took out a precious painting for people to evaluate. There were cold utensils in the meal that day. Huan Xuan's guests ate cold utensils just like we ate Fried Dough Twists today. They grabbed them with their hands and stuffed them into their mouths. After a meal, their hands were covered with oil. When everyone pointed at Huan Xuan's painting (calligraphy), the oil stamp was transferred to the painting, and a good painting was spoiled. Huan Xuan was heartbroken and learned a lesson from it. He never wore cold utensils when inviting people to dinner again
