How to make and eat steamed buns

Practice:

There are three traditional methods. One is called "dry bubble". Through boiling, the soup is completely put into the steamed bun. This steamed bun is tough, sticky and smooth; The second is "mouth soup". The steamed bun is crisp and smooth, leaving a mouthful of soup in the bowl after eating; The third is "water encircles the city". Bread is cooked in broad soup. The bowl is surrounded by soup, and the middle point is steamed bun. The soup is more than steamed bread powder, which is fragrant and smooth.

In the past, mutton steamed bun was invented by paying tribute to the emperor's diet. In ancient times, it was called "mutton soup". A poet in the Song Dynasty wrote a poem: "Long cuisine has bear wax, while Qin cooking only mutton soup". The history of mutton soup can be traced back to the 11th century BC, when it was also listed as a ritual food for kings and princes.

In Xi'an, there is also a kind of bubble steamed bun called water pot mutton or water pot big meat, that is, the boiled broth is served directly with vermicelli, mutton (big meat) parsley, garlic sprouts, and oil spiced chilli, and then the diners can eat the baked Tuotuo steamed bun here, which is very fragrant and warm to the spleen and stomach.

Steamed buns with beef and mutton are not only about cooking, but also about "eating". The inexperienced people are always used to stirring with chopsticks before eating, which is a taboo. The eating method of "Laoshan" is to "nibble" from one side bit by bit, so as to ensure that the soup is not separated from the steamed bun, so that the steamed bun can always taste fresh. When eating, you can also add spices such as vanilla, chili sauce, sesame oil or garlic with sugar according to your taste preference. After eating, drink a bowl of "high soup" (that is, the original soup is stewed with vermicelli), and you will feel refreshed and refreshed.

2： Mouth soup, steamed bun required to be cooked, only one mouthful of soup remains in the bowl after eating.

3： The city is surrounded by water. The steamed bun is in the middle, and the soup is around. The soup, juice and steamed bun should be eaten up.

4： Water basin, the focus of water basin is soup, and you can directly break the steamed bun into soup.

The first three ways of eating are to break the half baked bun into pieces in advance and then cook it. The fourth kind of water basin is another kind of snack in the eyes of Shaanxi people, and can not be strictly regarded as Paomo
