Dali Huoshao
Beijing is very famous for its "baglian fire". When it comes to burning a bag, old Beijingers don't know anything about it. It not only has a long history, but also has a unique flavor, so it has always enjoyed a high reputation.

According to textual research, in 1876, Yao Chunxuan and his wife, a Shunyi family, set up a snack stall in the Lao Dong 'an Market in Beijing, supplying this kind of food for the first time in the capital. It is a fried food with golden color and burnt aroma. It tastes delicious and delicious.

  • Dali Huoshao Make Tips

    1. The dough for making Dalian Huoshao must be relatively soft, similar in firmness to the dough for griddle cakes. It is best if, after a light roll with a rolling pin, it can be stretched by hand into a thin sheet. 2. Add an appropriate amount of water to the filling and beat until it becomes sticky. The water amount should be correct—not too runny—and the ideal consistency after beating is thick enough not to release liquid. 3. The wrapper should not be too thick; slightly thinner than Northern-style dumpling skins is fine. After enclosing the filling on the top and bottom, when sealing the sides, you must press flat, stretch thin, and then press the fold over. Do not fold directly, as this makes the seal too thick and affects the taste. Ideally, the overall thickness of the wrapper should be consistent after wrapping. 4. When frying, the heat should be even; low heat is best. I feel that using an induction cooker provides more uniform heat, keeping the griddle's temperature consistent throughout. In short, temperature control should depend on the specific situation. 5. When eating, it can be paired with hot and sour soup or red bean porridge. It tastes delicious—really appetizing
