There are many kinds of snacks in Zhengzhou, and some varieties have become famous products in Zhengzhou for decades because they insist on raising according to standards and making fine products. Although some of these varieties have disappeared from the market, they have left many good memories for people.
Four famous foods in Zhengzhou!
First, Huimian Noodles.
Huimian, Hutchison's mutton, is a traditional snack, including meat, vegetarian food, soup, vegetables and rice. It is famous for its delicious taste and economical benefits. 1994 won the title of "National Muslim Famous Brand Flavor Food" in May. 1997 65438+ won the title of "Chinese famous snack" in February.
Hutchison's predecessor was Laoxiang Hotel. 1953, Li and others took over the camp. Because it is a partner, it was renamed Hutchison Hotel. Since 1967, they have been specializing in mutton Huimian Noodles and renamed it "Hutchison Huimian Noodles Pavilion", commonly known as Hutchison.
It is said that Hui Mian, Hutchison's mutton, is delicious from the plane bombing. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Japanese planes often attacked Zhengzhou. At that time, there was a famous chef named Zhao Rongguang who especially liked pasta. When the plane came, Master Zhao went to hide from it. When he came back, he added some mutton soup to the remaining noodles to stew. Over time, Master Zhao found that the re-stewed noodles were also delicious, so he devoted himself to research, put some salt and alkali in them to make them thicker, and made noodles with unique flavor, which later became a popular flavor food.
Huimian, a kind of mutton, is selected from the best fresh mutton. After repeated soaking, put it into the pot, skim off the fat, put in the whole aniseed and cook the meat. In addition, white flour is mixed with proper amount of salt and alkali to form soft noodles, which are repeatedly kneaded to make them tough. Next time, put the raw juice stock in the pot, pull the noodles into thin strips and put the mutton in the pot, with day lily, fungus and gouache strips. Bring coriander, Chili oil, sugar, garlic and other side dishes when serving, which is more delicious. The strict operating rules of the emblem have been adhered to for decades, and they have never slackened off. They are favored by diners and become a well-known delicacy in Zhengzhou. Outsiders often come here to taste. Influenced by the collection of Hui rice noodles, there are many state-owned, collective and individual restaurants dealing in mutton Hui rice noodles, which are all over Hualeng Lane in the city. People call Zhengzhou "Hui Mian City".
Address: Renmin Road is the head office. Personally, I think it should be better!
Second, Geji red sesame seed cake.
Geji braised cake is a kind of flavor food exclusively operated by Geji jar meat braised cake restaurant.
According to the Records of Zhengzhou Catering Industry, Mr. Ge Minghui, the founder of Geji Biscuit Shop, was born in Manchu 1882 in Qing Dynasty. /kloc-joined Beijing Kewangfu at the age of 0/0. He is diligent and studious. He often goes to Wang Fu Restaurant to help the kitchen and get familiar with cooking skills. At that time, there were staple foods, thousand-layer cakes and a dish called jar meat. One day, Wang Ye returned to his mansion and felt hungry. Ge Minghui stewed a plate of cakes for Wang Ye with jar meat, and made a bowl of soup with mustard tuber and coriander. The cake is soft and fragrant, and the clear soup is refreshing. Wang Ye spoke highly of them. In the early years of the Republic of China, wars broke out one after another, and Ge Minghui came to Henan to make a living with his two sons. At the time of crisis, I remembered the jar stew cake appreciated by the prince, so with the help of my friends, I opened a jar stew cake restaurant near Zhengzhou Railway Station. After years of painstaking efforts, Geji Braised Cake has become a famous flavor snack.
Geji jar meat stew cake is made of cake and special jar meat with green vegetables. The cake is baked with soft flour into a thousand-layer cake, cooled and cut into curtain rods for later use; Jar meat is pork with skin. Cut into 2 cm square cubes, first put them in a pot and add water to boil, skim off the impurities floating on them, take out the meat and put it in a jar, add eight ingredients, add the fragrant fermented bean curd, pour the broth into it and seal it. After the fire is boiled, simmer slowly until it is cooked. When opening the altar, the fragrance overflowed, and passers-by stopped to smell it, which was called "opening the altar incense" in history. When stewing cakes, spread vegetables on the pot, with bread sticks and jar meat, and add broth for a little stew. Its meat is mellow, fat but not greasy, and its cakes are soft and delicious, suitable for all ages. In addition to mung bean sprouts, the side dishes of red sesame seed cakes are mostly fresh vegetables from four seasons, such as garlic moss, Chinese cabbage and four-season plum. Soup for stew. Besides pork soup, chicken soup and duck bone soup are also used. Therefore, the stew cake is soft and fragrant, not greasy, delicious and refreshing. 1995 won the title of "Famous Food in the Central Plains" in the 4th Zhengzhou Food Month. 199765438+February, it was recognized as the first snack in Hangzhou and won the title of "Chinese famous snack".
But unfortunately, the last store, Geji Old Store, closed down in early 2005 because of poor management! But if you want to eat, I personally recommend Zhengzhou roast duck restaurant, which is quite authentic (it is said to be the descendant of Lao Ge's family).
Address: intersection of South Zijinshan Road and Renmin Road, Zijinshan Department Store.
Third, Cai Ji steamed dumplings
The founder of Cai Ji steamed dumplings is Mr. Cai from Changyuan County, Henan Province. In his early years, Mr. Cai Lao helped cook in the Forbidden City in Beijing. After the Revolution of 1911, Cai lived on the streets of Beijing. In order to support his family, with the help of his friends, he opened a small restaurant outside Qianmen, Beijing, dealing in steamed dumplings and wonton, but his business was still booming. A few years later, Cai moved to Zhengzhou with his family. After Cai's death, his son Cai Yongquan inherited his father's business and moved to Dehua Street on 1949 to continue his business. He not only mastered the ancestral skills in an all-round way, but also insisted on quality first and small profits but quick turnover. Therefore, Cai Ji steamed dumplings and wonton have become famous flavor varieties in Zhengzhou. Best-selling for nearly 80 years.
Cai Ji's steamed dumplings are very particular about cooking. After the meat stuffing is scraped, water should be added while beating to make the meat stuffing firm, and various seasonings are indispensable according to a certain proportion. The steamed dumpling skin is half baked with flour, repeatedly kneaded to make the dough tough and tough, then rolled into thin skin, and the stuffing is folded into willow leaves to make the steamed dumpling crescent-shaped. Therefore, Cai Ji's steamed dumplings have thin skin, bright color and full and transparent stuffing. Due to decades of adhering to the traditional operating procedures, the masses have praised its quality, "a hundred steps away from home, leaving a fragrance in the mouth." 1989, when the store sent Zhang Yuzhi and other comrades to participate in the stuffing contest of the Ministry of Commerce, they won the title of "Golden Top Award". 1997 was recognized as "Chinese famous snack" by China Cuisine Association.
After entering the 1990s, Cai Ji's steamed dumplings have made new progress. Shrimp, ginger juice, celery and mushu have now formed a unique "Cai Ji Steamed Dumpling Banquet".
This is the same as the emblem, and it feels like there are many branches (it is said that it is all over the street, and I personally ate it at the store in Ximen, the old district of Zhengzhou University)
Fourth, casserole yifu noodles.
Lady casserole noodles, a famous traditional flavor in Henan, are famous in the Central Plains for their fresh soup, rich gluten and rich nutrition.
According to legend, there was a general named Yi in Yecheng (now Anyang, Henan) in the Tang Dynasty. On one occasion, he went back to his hometown to visit relatives. I didn't expect him to stand on shaky ground, so the emperor issued an imperial edict to let him return to Korea. Yi Jia doesn't care about catering. In desperation, the chef cut the flour into noodles with eggs and noodles, fried it in an oil pan and added broth to the local casserole. After the soup is boiled, add the main ingredients and ingredients such as sea cucumber, squid, Hericium erinaceus, beef tendon, magnolia slice, dried dried dried sea rice, mushrooms, cooked shredded chicken and fungus, and add the big oil, pepper and fungus. Because of the exquisite materials, smooth noodles and delicious soup, it was greatly appreciated by the generals. Since then, it has been introduced to the people, and people call it "Yi Fu noodles". Since 1983, a special store has been opened in Changchun Hotel on Erqi Road, but it once disappeared due to urban transformation. 1995 Zhengzhou catering corporation excavated and arranged, and operated in Zhengzhou roast duck restaurant and Yushunlou restaurant. In 1997 "National Exhibition of Famous Popular Dishes and Snacks and Joint Marketing Month", it was well received by consumers.

A Geji stew cake, half a roast duck, and a bowl of Yifu noodles for everyone. Absolutely invincible! My wife and I still insist on eating Yifu noodles once a month! She likes it!
