Let me answer this question. As a man who has been wandering for many years, although he is in a foreign country, he still has a feeling that he cannot give up his hometown. If I use a food to express my hometown, I think it is fried bean jelly in my hometown.

My hometown is rich in sweet potatoes. Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors began to deeply process sweet potatoes into sweet potato starch, sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli. Because the local sweet potatoes are famous all over the country for their high yield and high quality, it is well known that people mention Yuxian fans. Even when one of my classmates was waiting at a bus stop in Beijing and was asked about the people there, they all praised Yuxian fans for being delicious and famous. There is a sense of pride when you think about it.

Fried bean jelly

Bean jelly is a starch product made by boiling sweet potato starch and water in a pot. Stir-fried bean jelly is to cut bean jelly into pieces, pour oil, put it in a pot and fry thoroughly, cover the pot, pour seasoning on it and fry until it is brown. Soft and delicious. In our hometown, fried bean jelly is not only a street snack, but also a specialty of local restaurants, especially when people entertain relatives and friends from other places or locals returning from other places. Of course, the fried bean jelly in the restaurant is exquisite and suitable for banquets.

In my hometown, you can see small dining cars selling fried bean jelly in every street and alley. On the one hand, the oven is used to make sesame cakes, which is called fire locally. On the other hand, it is an iron plate with a fire at the bottom. There are several pots of bean jelly beside it. Bean jelly is transparent and bright. Add your favorite side dishes, pour in garlic juice, sesame sauce and Chili oil, and mix well. An affordable and delicious jelly fire is ready. The boss is very honest, and the jelly inside wants to explode. A fire with jelly is enough for people to eat.

I think fried bean jelly can represent my hometown, because it is transparent, fried and warm, and can be eaten as a side dish. There is a lot of bean jelly in the fire. In fact, these characteristics of fried bean jelly can represent the openness, enthusiasm and tolerance of our hometown people.

Welcome to my hometown, and have a chance to taste the fried bean jelly made in my hometown. Although there are fried bean jelly in many places, the taste of fried bean jelly in our hometown is different, and the difference lies in the choice of sweet potato starch.
