Shaanxi's Famous Street Food, Known Throughout the Country - Tourists Are Envious!
This is Xiao Yu's travel diary, wandering and stopping, come with me to see the world.
China is vast and rich in resources and food, and many places seem to have their own unique delicacies, even becoming labels for the cities, deeply rooted in the cultural blood of the cities. When traveling, tasting local specialties is also a must-have tourism experience. It's not just about eating, but also about understanding a city's culture.
This year, due to special circumstances, we can only 'cloud travel' at home. Not to mention going out to travel, even the last time we went to a restaurant became a distant memory. However, this did not stop the ingenuity of many netizens, who transformed into foodies, with limited ingredients and attitudes to compensate. The 'Steamed Cold Skin Competition' launched by households in Shaanxi Province attracted envious glances from tourists outside the province.
The history of cold skin in Shaanxi is very long, dating back to the Tang Dynasty. Shaanxi's cold skin can be divided into several major schools. The most famous ones include Xi'an Qinzhai Mipi, sesame paste cold skin, Qishan ganbianpi, and Hanzhong rehimipi. Because of their cheap prices, refreshing flavors, and the ability to eat immediately or wait, cold skin has become the most popular street food in Shaanxi. It was later welcomed by overseas tourists, and many cold skin shops were even opened abroad, truly achieving worldwide fame.
When traveling to Xi'an, if you haven't tried cold skin, it's simply unbelievable.
The method of making cold skin is relatively simple, and most households in Shaanxi make it. It's a home-cooked dish. Of course, everyone's method can vary slightly, and side dishes and seasonings can be added according to one's own preferences. However, the overall method is very simple, so during the Spring Festival period, a cold skin making competition also broke out on the internet, and cold skin suddenly went viral online.
This cold skin competition also attracted the attention of netizens outside the province, who all said they were envious. These foods also reminded them of their past travel memories in Xi'an. It shows the influence of food is quite significant.
Xiao Yu's family also made a batch of cold skin, and I still find it super delicious, even after a long time without eating it, and with many seasonings missing. What do you think of the appearance of this cold skin?
So, have you ever been to Xi'an, Shaanxi? What is your impression of Xi'an? What memorable foods did you eat in Xi'an during your travels? Seeing the cold skin competition, did it evoke your memories of traveling to Xi'an? If you have the opportunity to travel to Xi'an in the future, do you want to try cold skin?
