Hand-grabbed noodles
Commonly known as "dried bean noodles" or "spiced noodles", it consists of three parts: fabric, ingredients and seasoning. This kind of fabric is made of alkaline noodles cooked and spread on a bamboo screen to make a palm-sized round sheet, which is called "noodles". When eating, put "fried dried bean curd" or "spiced roll" on the noodles, add seasonings such as sweet noodle sauce, peanut butter, mustard hot sauce and garlic vinegar sauce, then roll up the noodles and eat them with your hands, so it's called "hand-grabbed noodles". Its characteristics: fragrant, sweet, sour, spicy, oily but not greasy, refreshing and appetizing.
dried noodles
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a cooked food vendor who dealt in flat food and noodle soup. One summer, after a hard day of selling, when he came home at night, some noodles were not sold out. He was afraid that the noodles would turn sour and deteriorate, so he put the remaining noodles in a boiling pot, scalded them, fished them out and cooled them on the chopping board. Unexpectedly, he accidentally knocked over the oil drum on the chopping board, and all the sesame oil in the drum spilled on the noodles, so he simply mixed the noodles and sesame oil evenly. The next morning, he went out to sell noodles. He boiled the noodles dried the night before in a boiling water pot, then took them out and mixed them with seasonings such as vinegar and peanut butter. The customer ate with relish and asked him what kind of noodles it was. He blurted out, "This is called dry mixed noodles." At present, dry mixed noodles are cooked in a pot with thick alkaline noodles and fresh braised pig's trotters. You can also freely choose various ingredients, such as pig's trotters, sour bamboo shoots, chestnuts, braised large intestine, sausages ... plus the secret sauces in the store: peanut butter, sand tea sauce, garlic sauce and so on. Mix chopsticks together. The trotters are slightly spicy and soft.
Zhangzhou snack "phoenix fetus"
"Chicken fetus" is a name in Minnan dialect. It's an egg that has hatched, but it hasn't hatched a chicken. The embryo in the egg has developed. When you peel off the eggshell, you can see the embryonic form of chicken, soft fluff and even chicken bones. Choose live chickens that hatch naturally. In southern Fujian, every year after the cool autumn, there is a habit of eating chicken embryos to nourish the body.
Salt Baked Chicken
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a salt worker in a saltworks along the coast of Zhangzhou. He was hungry and cold, but he stole a chicken. When he was about to eat, the owner of the saltworks came back, and the salt worker quickly buried the cooked chicken in the salt pile. Later, he took it out and ate it. Chicken is salty and fragrant, so don't be stingy with its taste. Influenced by the development of salt industry in coastal areas in Qing Dynasty, a large number of mainland businessmen poured into coastal areas to sell salt for business. In order to collude with the government, saltworks bosses often create a special flavor, cooking the whole chicken with high temperature and hot salt, and later it evolved into salted chicken.
Maozaizhou
When I heard that the word cat porridge was not from Zhangzhou, I must have thought it was made of cat meat, but it wasn't. Cat porridge is the porridge that cats eat. Cat porridge is sweet and delicious, and everyone who eats it will fall in love with it. As for the porridge that cats eat, why are they given to people? There are at least three "legends" about cat porridge, which also contain touching love intentions:
1. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, there was an official in Zhao 'an city, and the grandmother kept the house very strictly. Three couples, daughter-in-law, grandson, more than a dozen of them all obey the family education and dare not go beyond the rules, just like a family style. After the eldest grandson got married, the new daughter-in-law went down to the kitchen three days later and cooked for the whole family, but she could only eat the leftovers from the family's cooking under the kitchen.
The eldest grandson couldn't bear to let his beloved wife be wronged for a long time and ate all the leftovers from three meals, so he came up with a clever plan: he bought some kittens to raise. After dinner every day, I always use "cat porridge" as an excuse to go to the kitchen and use fish, shrimp, meat and other dishes to quickly prepare fresh and delicious meals for my new wife.
Once, as soon as the eldest grandson cooked fresh and delicious porridge and put it on the table, the old lady went into the kitchen to look at it and asked her grandson what he was doing in the kitchen with a surprised face. The eldest grandson cleverly replied, "make cat porridge and mix the leftovers for the cat." Because there are a few cats at home, the old lady believes it. Because it takes time to make "cat porridge", fresh ingredients and rice are rinsed with boiling soup and served with good ingredients, which is sweet and delicious. The new wife likes to eat, and the young couple have deeper feelings and unparalleled love.
Time passed quickly. Thirty years later, my daughter-in-law became my mother-in-law. When the old man died, his granddaughter became the master, and there were many children and grandchildren under his knee. On the occasion of his wife's 50th birthday, the husband asked his beloved wife what she wanted to eat. She recalled the scene of that year and pondered for a long time before saying, "I haven't eaten cat porridge for a long time, but it's still delicious." The husband said happily, "It's very simple. You don't have to cook secretly now. I'll do it in the kitchen. " "Cat porridge" is full of love from young couples, which is naturally delicious and memorable. When neighbors heard that "cat porridge" was delicious, they all came to ask how to make it. In this way, "cat porridge" spread.
2. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin 'an, the capital, fell to Hangzhou today. The little emperor Zhao Bing, the left and right prime ministers Lu Xiufu, Chen and others were chased by the Yuan Army and fled south to the coastal areas of southern Fujian. One day, the food they brought ran out, and the monarch and ministers were hungry. The left and right prime ministers took turns carrying the little emperor to a large family in the fishing village to beg.
Seeing that it was a few beggars who were travel-stained, the rich man made porridge out of the leftovers he was going to feed the cat after dinner and gave them alms. Several people were hungry, so they wolfed down the porridge at once. Later, they fled to the south and settled in Yashan, Guangdong Province. When they talked about the unforgettable escape experience, they remembered the delicious porridge. But the chefs around the emperor couldn't make such porridge. Later, the chef had a brainwave and sailed back to the fishing village where the emperor begged for food and learned how to make this porridge. Soon, the cliff mountain was also captured by the Yuan army, and the monarch and his subjects died and fled. The chef also sneaked back to his hometown of Minnan and began to operate exclusive cat porridge.
Thirdly, there is another saying that a cook in a wealthy family secretly cooks porridge for pregnant women at home with the leftover fish in the kitchen. He didn't want to be caught by his boss, so he lied that what he was doing was feeding the cat. The boss was dubious, tasted it delicious, and asked the chef to cook fish porridge as usual. Since then, this porridge has spread.
Cat porridge pays attention to fresh materials and fresh food, so it tastes delicious and great; Like Zhangzhou Tulou, which was rated as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO, it is a cultural and non-cultural heritage that will live in the hearts of Zhangzhou people forever.

The dry sample of whole grass contains about 70% carbohydrate, and a small amount of protein, fat and pigment. , but also contains more mineral elements. The name "Cao Xian" first appeared in the modern Illustration of Chinese Medicinal Plants, and was called "Cao Xian" among the professional prescriptions.
In addition to eating, Cao Xian also has a health care function in various materia medica. Zhao Qing Guang Qi wrote "Searching for Materia Medica", saying that it can "clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and relieve visceral heat toxicity". Cure wine wind. "Modern" Illustration of Chinese Medicinal Plants "says:" Cool and quench thirst, relieve summer heat, decoct the whole herb and treat diabetes.

Medicinal Botany, a planning textbook for Chinese medicine colleges and universities in the new century, says: "Fairy bean jelly, a bean jelly, can cure willow with whole grass." Fujian Medical Records, published by Fujian Science and Technology Publishing House, contains: "Cao Xian and Patrinia each have 30g, and decoction is used to treat dysentery".

Shihua
The origin of the name "Shihua" has a touching legend in the coastal area of southern Fujian, my hometown: once upon a time, in a fishing village on the southeast coast, there was a loving couple whose wife was Shihua, virtuous and intelligent. Every time my husband comes back late from fishing, Shihua will always come to the high place on the reef in the harbor bay and stand on tiptoe to wait for him. One day, the sea was windy and dark clouds were like ink. Shihua came to the old place "Wang Mi Shi" to look forward to sailing, but after waiting for a long time, I still couldn't see my husband's sail. Shihua is very anxious. Suddenly, a sharp wave came. She saw a fisherman who fell into the water because of shipwreck waving for help. In this do or die, Shihua broke the shackles of the secular, gritted his teeth and pulled the dying male fisherman up, but because the reef was slippery, he fell into the rough sea and never came up again. When the late Shihua's husband came home, he heard the bad news and rushed to the reef where Shihua often stood and cried. Strange to say, after the weather was clear and calm, a simple but elegant and lovely unknown flower grew on the stone. In order to mourn the brave fisherman's daughter, the villagers named this strange marine life "Stone Flower".
Stone flower is sweet, salty and cold, and has the functions of moistening lung, resolving phlegm, clearing heat and softening hardness. Li Shizhen, a "medical sage" in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica: "The function of cauliflower is to clear away heat and moisten the lungs, soften and harden all diseases, and be used for lung heat, enteritis and dysentery." According to the Pharmacopoeia of China, the whole algae of Lithospermum can be used as medicine to treat phlegm, gallbladder, enteritis, hemorrhoids, bronchitis and other diseases. It is worth mentioning that Shihua ointment is a wonderful use to relieve summer heat and reduce fire in summer.
