Most of the people in the old city of Hohhot came from Shanxi to the west exit, and my hometown is Datong, Shanxi.
In terms of food, Hohhot and Datong are very similar, including the traditional delicacy of egg cakes. "A bubble, eat cakes, no chopsticks to talk about", this saying has been heard in Hohhot and Datong.
In difficult times, there is no shortage of yellow cakes, but vegetarian cakes are often eaten. Everyone knows that the best partner of vegetarian cake is stewed meat, "yellow cake soaked in meat, not enough to eat", at that time there was no broth, and it was dipped in vegetable soup.
I also ate eggs and cakes at home. The mother peeled the two boiled eggs, mixed a soup with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, chopped green onions, and water, and then put the boiled eggs into the sauce and chopsticks into several pieces. Not to mention eating, just smell it and start to droop. Eggs and vegetarian cakes "collide", "soul eating", indescribably delicious.
The real egg cake is when the mouth comes, my grandmother uses sesame oil to scrambled eggs to touch the vegetarian cake, the golden vegetarian cake with the golden scrambled eggs, we only have to see, not eat.
My grandmother cracked three eggs into a bowl, put chopped green onions, salt, and chopsticks to stir well. Pour sesame oil into the pan and stir-fry quickly while hot, it is very fragrant. "Touch" the cake with fragrant scrambled eggs, and the strong scallion oil strengthens the fragrance of the eggs, which is indescribably fragrant. Relatives sandwich a piece of cake and "touch" the scrambled eggs. We look straight with our eyes.
Eat eggs and touch cakes, don't chew, clip a piece of cake, touch a piece of eggs, sip it with your mouth, grunt it into your stomach, swallow it, it's very enjoyable, and you can't eat it enough.
Now that the conditions are good, the stew is too lazy to eat, the scrambled eggs are too common, but the yellow cake will not be steamed, and it is difficult to eat authentic egg cakes in Hoh.
If you have the opportunity, you will go to Datong to see, and when you go to your relatives, you will go to Long Juxiang next to the fourth archway and eat an authentic egg cake.
Eggs touch cakes, eat the best taste in the world.
