What's delicious in Nanyang?

As a Nanyang person, no matter where I go or how many years I have left my hometown, I think I will never forget those special foods in Nanyang. I grew up eating those delicious foods, so whenever I think of those delicious foods I ate at home, my mouth water unconsciously for a long time. ?

I think most friends from other places will find this place so shabby when they first arrive in Nanyang. Just listening to the name makes them feel so rustic! There won't be anything particularly delicious here. But this is not the case. You can't eat one or two things that are not very delicious in this place, so to be fair, there is nothing special in this place. Then, let me briefly introduce some special food snacks in Nanyang to give you a new understanding of Nanyang. If you come here another day, you can try these foods yourself, and you will never forget them!

The first Nanyang feature I mentioned is the Wozi noodles in Dengzhou. Dengzhou Wozi Noodle is improved from Wuhan Regan Noodles, and its taste is more in line with the taste of most northerners. Use special noodles, make round noodles with special technology, steam and cool. When making the nest noodles, put a bowl of noodles and a little bean sprouts or lettuce into a funnel-shaped bamboo bucket, heat it in boiling water for about one minute in advance, and then take out the filtered water. Then put it into a bowl, add sesame paste and various special seasonings, and stir it evenly with chopsticks. You can eat it. Wozi noodles are a special food that we Nanyang people seldom eat every day, because the production process is simple, delicious and, most importantly, inexpensive.

The second is beef soup from Xinye, Nanyang. The unique climatic environment in Nanyang Basin is especially suitable for the breeding of Nanyang yellow cattle, especially the body fat rate of Nanyang yellow cattle is very low, and the soup cooked with this beef is particularly fragrant and not greasy at all. Adding various local Chinese herbal medicines and drinking a bowl of beef soup every day can not only warm the stomach, but also prolong life. Coupled with shredded pork cake, it is a nutritious breakfast that can be remembered all day!

The third is Liu Ji's yellow wine. China belongs to our Nanyang Liuji yellow rice wine except Shaoxing yellow rice wine from Zhejiang. According to research, it has a history of 700 to 800 years, so that every local household has mastered the technology of producing yellow rice wine. The raw materials for brewing yellow rice wine are mostly local sorghum and wheat, which are fermented and brewed through dozens of secret processes. Taking a sip of yellow rice wine has a particularly sweet feeling. No matter how you drink it, you won't get drunk, which makes people feel like a thousand cups of wine. Locals will prepare several jars of Liu Ji yellow wine at home, which can be drunk by themselves or taken out to entertain guests at home. Liu Ji's interest in a mouthful of yellow rice wine is gone, two people are happy and three people are on cloud nine. It is definitely a must-try Nanyang specialty.

The fourth kind is steamed vegetables in Zhenping, Nanyang. There are many kinds of steamed vegetables in Nanyang, as long as they are local common vegetables. The production process is simple and easy to learn, but it is a must in Nanyang and even Henan. If foreigners don't eat steamed vegetables once in Nanyang, it's like going to Lanzhou without eating Lamian Noodles, going to Nanjing without eating salted duck, and going to Xi 'an without eating steamed buns, which will leave regrets. I think the best steamed vegetables in Nanyang are wild vegetables, such as wild amaranth, shepherd's purse, wild Artemisia, pearl leaf vegetables and so on. In the past, only rural people would cook these steamed dishes. However, as people in the city pay more and more attention to the original ecology of ingredients, in recent years, hotels in downtown Nanyang have been well known and loved by people, naturally becoming the special cuisine of Nanyang, attracting many foreigners to Nanyang for a feast.
