Xiao Hutong Chuanzi takes you to experience the "original flavor" of old Beijing

As a small "Hutong Chuanzi" who grew up in Beijing and received the influence of the old Beijing culture from his ancestors, the author has received various "cultural influences" from his grandfather as an aboriginal in old Beijing and inherited various Old Beijingers should have spirits: the "glorious spirit" that old Beijingers should have; easy to inquire and talk about the mountains; every morning with hot soy sauce and coke ring as the supreme enjoyment; addicted to garlic, eat happily and always love to drink Two...

I think I still have some unique insights into this hometown I love.So today, let me show you the "homesick" dishes in the eyes of an old Beijinger...

Rao Man Luo, you can inquire. The Beijing cuisine of Tongshunju cannot be said to be the top one. Why? It's not because their home-made roasted duck or kimchi noodles are so delicious that they can be seen everywhere. The old Beijing “daddys” and “fruits” love old Beijing snacks. And their traditional snacks are the most authentic.

It's up to you ~~ All right, okay ~~

To talk about this snack, TongshunjuTongshun SamboI will put it on the first one. The three treasures are three of the most distinctive appetizers in Beijing: succulent cucumber, sour red fruit and mustard.

These three treasures are more or less related to court dishes. In the past, it was mainly for the aristocrats of the palace to adjust the stomach and refreshing taste. Appetizers are more suitable. The succulent cucumber has a crisp and refreshing taste, and has a sweet and sour taste. It is just right, there is no staleness or no taste; the sour red fruit has also been sour and sweet, and the mustard must be eaten elsewhere Either the cabbage is not crispy or it is not spicy at all, and their mustard sticks are just right.

Hemp tofuIt may be a dark dish for friends from other places, but it is definitely a favorite of old Beijingers.It is a dish made of mung bean slag as raw material, fried with sheep tail oil and soybean paste.Hemp tofu has a somewhat beany smell, while sheep's tail oil is a little bitter. Fishy is the fishy, ​​sheep is the fishy, ​​and fishy sheep is the freshest. The other is fried with the same texture, which is smooth and tender. Although it is not at the entrance, it feels rustling, like salted duck liver or comparable French foie gras.

It happened that there was no picture of Tongshunju Ma Tofu, so let's take a look at the Internet and feel it.

I was shocked when I first came to eat, because they were really fried with sheep tail oil! Because if you do n’t stir-fry hemp tofu with sheep ’s tail oil, it will become very dry and uncomfortable. According to the old Beijing dialect, it will be very “grilled”. Refreshing but not greasy, you can taste it with one taste.

For more old Beijing soulsBurst belly and fried liverTongshunju is also very authentic.The soup made of fried liver is oily, garlic fragrant, fat but not greasy, thin but not thin.The garlic mash is also very fine, which can meet the high standards and strict requirements of the old Beijing foodie "Eat garlic without seeing garlic".This stir-fried liver is cooked very well in the soup, so it can be eaten clean with one hand holding the bottom of the bowl in one hand according to the traditional way of eating.

Tongshunju's belly is also very authentic. The belly is delicious, the main thing to watch is whether the cooked belly with boiling water is well cooked. Although Tongshunju's belly is not easy to find black belly because it is located in Los Angeles, it can be crispy and fresh. , Not oily or greasy. Burst belly is said to cure stomach problems. If someone who eats bulge will drink alcohol, he or she will always drink two or two. After drinking wine, eat two freshly baked sesame kebabs to cool down after meals.

Come back again to see the old peasant's post-boiled small yellow croaker. This can also be regarded as a special dish of Tongshunju. The pancakes are made of "corn noodles" (cornmeal). Coarse grains are used to wash the intestines, and with the same warm and nourishing soup made from small yellow croaker, your stomach will be crisp. The small yellow croaker itself is also boiled and tasted according to the traditional method, even the meat and bone can be eaten together, and the taste can make you think about it several times.

Of course, the most important thing is his Xianghe meatloaf. This meat pie is a must-order every time you come and hemp tofu, you can smell the smell of fresh meat all the way through when you first get on the meat pie. Their patties are delicious because they have less noodles and more meat. A large flatbread is made with the ratio of one side, two meats, and one onion. It is extremely particular about whether it is from noodles to fillings. When you eat the crispy crust in your mouth, you can also eat the meat inside.

They also have countless old Beijing delicacies. They are all very authentic: pea yellow, enema, paste cake, lamb scorpion, vinegar mustard, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, lazy dragon, coriander pancake, cat ear……
