Shaoxing special food

Dried prunes, fried stinky tofu, butter pancakes, stir-fried chicken, fennel beans and rice wine, etc. Prune vegetables (i.e. dried plum vegetables) is a cheap and high-quality traditional non-staple food in Shaoxing, and it is also a famous specialty of Shaoxing. Shaoxing prunes are dark in oil, mellow in flavor, and resistant to storage. It can be divided into three types: dried cabbage, dried rapeseed and dried mustard greens. The best dried mustard greens are pickled and sun-dried vegetables of the "Bainao mustard" variety. The prunes and braised pork are fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious.

Fried stinky tofu: a must-try. Unlike the dark appearance of the stinky tofu in Changsha, the stinky tofu in Shaoxing still retains the golden appearance. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I like to eat it. People will think it smells delicious. Don’t forget to apply some sauce on the outside. There are sweet sauce and hot sauce. Shaoxing’s stinky tofu is all over the streets, so you don’t have to worry about not finding it.

Butter pancake: A Shaoxing special snack similar to egg tarts. Actually, it is not a local original. The butter pancake looks like a round white top hat. It consists of two parts. The top is white like a snow mountain, made of foamed egg whites. The bottom is a cake-like skin, which is like a small bowl. It is made by mixing flour and eggs and putting them in the oven. It tastes soft, sweet and has a good taste.

Braised chicken: It looks like white chopped chicken and retains the original flavor of chicken. However, the difference is that marinated chicken is marinated with wine lees. It has more aroma of wine than white chopped chicken and is paired with The fresh and tender chicken is a unique flavor of Shaoxing. I recommend Xianheng Hotel, but the one in Xinchang is more delicious, and its popularity is much higher than that in downtown Shaoxing. You can buy delicious food here online.

Fennel beans and rice wine: They should be tasted together. After all, it is a major feature of Lu Xun's works, so it is best to go to Xianheng Hotel to find it. There is a "Bronze Statue of Kong Yiji" at the door, and it is on the 1st floor. The "canteen" is a bit like "buy a card first and then order food"; the second floor is for "cooking" and the "antique" layout is "full of Shaoxing flavor".
