Meat swallow is a famous traditional food in Fuzhou and has a history of hundreds of years.
Legend has it that as early as the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a censor who retired from his old age and returned to his hometown in Pucheng County, Fujian Province. He lived in the mountainous areas and felt dull after eating too much mountain treasures. to
Yes, his chef took the lean meat from the pork leg, beat it into meat paste with a wooden stick, mixed it with a suitable amount of sweet potato flour, rolled it into thin pieces as thin as a piece of paper, and cut it into small three-inch square pieces.
Add the meat paste, make it into a flat dish, cook it and eat it with soup. The censor only felt smooth, tender and crisp when he ate it in his mouth, and he shouted "Damiao" and hurriedly asked what it was.
Heart, the chef casually said "flat-meat swallow" because it is shaped like a swallow. Later flat meat swallow is cooked with duck eggs, because duck eggs are related to "crushing chaos" and "crushing waves" in Fuzhou dialect
Homophonic meaning "peace", but also has the saying of "peaceful Yan".
"Taiping Yan" is a famous local snack in Fuzhou and a famous festive dish in Fuzhou customs. Fuzhou people celebrate the New Year and festivals, weddings and funerals, relatives and friends
When we gather together, we must eat "Taiping Yan", that is, we must take advantage of its "peace" and "peace". Therefore,"without swans, there will be no banquet, and without swans, there will be no adult."
Today, I replaced duck eggs with quail eggs and added fresh shrimp, which added a little more nutrition and taste to this soup.
