I have eaten many noodles, but my favorite is Xiamen's Shacha noodles. <br />It has been many years since I left Xiamen. Every time I go back, I have to eat Shacha noodles. Once, I met with old classmates and went to a time-honored brand next to Zhongshan Road to eat Shacha noodles. <br />Shacha noodles, the soup color is red and bright, the taste is salty, fresh and spicy, and the nutrition is reasonable. The taste is salty, fresh, spicy, and a little sweet.

This was taught to me by a Taiwanese grandma last year. She was shopping for groceries and curiously asked her a lot of things, including some Taiwanese cuisine. Unexpectedly, their potatoes were also called potatoes. Grandma said that she liked to use mashed potatoes to make cakes, and add minced meat to make meatballs. There are a lot of starch in potatoes, and you don't need to add starch and other things. The result was really good when I tried it, and my sister and the others liked it too. <br />Taiwanese food is very special. It uses very little salt. It is flavored with salt from seasoning. Real salt is hardly used. This is also one of the special features of their food. Salt is better without salt.

Fish ball is one of the famous soup dishes in Fujian. It is made from fish meat, lean pork, and dried shrimp as the main raw materials. The snow-white fish balls the size of walnuts float on the steaming noodles, like stars scattered in the space. Therefore, overseas Chinese call it the "Seven Star Fish Ball". Fuzhou's "Seven Star Fish Ball" has the characteristics of white color, elasticity but not greasy, fragrant and loose filling, and clear, sweet and smooth taste. It has a long reputation.

"Fujian Cuisine" is one of the eight major cuisines in China. Its most famous one is a famous dish at home and abroad called "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall." <br />"Buddha jumps over the wall" is both "burning eight treasures in an altar" and "blessing and longevity". It was founded in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and its birthplace was the "Juchun Garden Restaurant" in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. <br />When the masters created this dish, the owner named it "Tanshao Babao", and later changed the name to "Fushou Quan" for luck. "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" is an elegant name given by literati and literati temporarily while drinking. Unexpectedly, it has been used and passed down to this day! <br />At that time, in the "Juchun Garden Restaurant" in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, our country, it was very famous for cooking this dish, and some literati and literati came here famous. After tasting it, these literati praised it and inevitably used poetry to add fun. This was an ancient custom. <br />Once, scholars took turns writing poems. One of the scholars wrote a poem saying: "The altar rises and the aroma of meat wafts around the neighborhood, and the Buddha hears that he has abandoned Zen and jumps over the wall." It means that the aroma of this dish is so tempting that even after the "Buddha" smells it, it will activate its mortal heart, haha! <br />Don't be so boring, let's get back to the main story. Today's first sketch will be the famous "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", the first flavor of southern Fujian. Let me make it clear in advance here that because the materials are not complete, there are two raw materials missing. One is tendon and the other is sea cucumber. However, it doesn't matter. It's just a point here, and the production at home is not so rigorous. Take this opportunity, I'll drink a bowl to replenish it first, haha! The main practices are as follows;
