Although I have lived in Xuzhou for more than ten years, my activities in Xuzhou are limited to that small place in the city center, so I don't explore the snacks in Xuzhou city. But one thing I know is that there are few local snacks in the city. However, this "thoroughfare of five provinces" did not go in vain. Although there are few local snacks, they are enough to satisfy anyone's picky mouth.
Below I will introduce you to some places with delicious food. If you have a chance to go to Xuzhou in the future, don't miss it. Children's crisp candy: Children's crisp candy is a special food in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is sweet, crisp and nutritious, and is deeply loved by children. And in 1980, it won the title of (Jiangsu) provincial quality product. It is famous in Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui.
Although "children's crisp candy" doesn't have the bitter and sweet taste of foreign chocolate candy, it looks useless, but it doesn't lose money. The crisp fragrance of traditional candy in China not only includes the traditional practices of China, but also includes modern technology, so it has a unique flavor and is deeply favored by people. Peel off the candy paper, it will reveal milky candy, a little creamy candy, or mints, but it doesn't taste like it at first bite. The whole candy looks white and fat like a kid, which is worthy of the name. Bite open the candy and the light yellow sugar kernels will be exposed. This kind of candy kernel is made of sesame, peanut, sugar and other raw materials. Eating regularly can supplement many trace elements such as sugar, protein and vitamins in human body, which is suitable for all ages.
Have a taste. It's sweet and delicious, crisp and raw. It's really crisp with a bite and full of fragrance with a bite. This is the unique flavor of children's shortbread! The method of making children's shortbread is also unique. First, peanuts, sesame seeds and other raw materials are crushed and mixed, then the white sugar is processed into milky white, and the prepared sugar kernels are put into plates and put into a child-shaped sugar making machine. After solidification, the child's crisp candy is ready.
Spicy soup:
Introduction: Spicy soup is mainly made of flour with a little seasoning. The raw materials are simple, the cost is not high, but the flavor is unique, and the trick lies in the manufacturing process. The production of spicy soup is very unique. Generally, you should do a good job of kneading and washing your face before 10 hour, that is, prepare it the afternoon before and eat it in the pot the next morning. The specific method is: add water to the flour and stir it into dough, then add water and wash it slowly by hand until only gluten is left. Put the washed gluten into a basin and raise it to 10 hour, then slowly stir the raised gluten into the boiling pot of noodle soup. After boiling, add spices such as pepper, bean curd skin, green vegetables, kelp and egg skin, and serve. Add a little vinegar and sesame oil when eating, which is spicy and delicious. Eating spicy soup has many benefits to human health, such as removing fire to prevent heatstroke in summer and appetizing to avoid cold in winter. Soup contains a variety of nutrients and is a good soup for the public.
