Dali Huoshao
Dalianhuo not only has a long history, but also has a unique flavor, so it has always been one of the favorite snacks in Beijing. The reason why it is called Dalianhuo is that after it is made and formed, it resembles the "Dalianhuo" on people's belts in the past, so it gets this name. Dalianhuo is a kind of fried food with golden color, burnt aroma overflowing, and delicious. Eat it hot. According to the rule of old Beijing, when eating baguza, you should use hot and sour soup made of chicken blood and tofu strips. It is delicious, sour and spicy, and has endless aftertaste.
Speaking of the history of bag fire, it still dates back to the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. In 1876, Yao Chunxuan and his wife, who came to Beijing from Shunyi, set up a snack stall for making fire in Dong 'an Market in Beijing. The fire made by the Yao couple is different. They cut the pork by hand and cut it into rice grains, add shredded ginger and onions, and use water to fill and stir until it is sticky. Then mix with warm water to form a soft dough, roll it into a thin skin, fill it with the mixed filling, fold it into a long strip, and place it in a baking pan and fry it in oil. It can be fried over heat. It is golden in color. It is tender on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes delicious.
