From Guilin rice noodles to Liuzhou snail noodles to Zhuangjia five-color glutinous rice, every dish is endlessly memorable. Today, let's embark on this journey to explore Guangxi's cuisine and appreciate the intoxicating delicacies.
Our first stop was Guilin, where rice noodles are famous for their unique flavor. Rice noodles are white, delicate, soft and smooth, refreshing, and can be eaten in a variety of ways. From traditional braised rice noodles to fried rice noodles, there's something for everyone. In the streets and alleys of Guilin, you can see rice noodle stalls everywhere, so that people can indulge in this delicious snack.
Next we came to Liuzhou, where there is a famous specialty dish - snail noodles. The snail noodle soup is spicy and has a rich taste, and is made with local snails and a variety of spices. Snail flour has a unique taste with a rich variety of ingredients, including snails, bean skin, vegetables, etc. In the streets and alleys of Liuzhou, snail noodle stalls can be seen everywhere, so that people can enjoy this delicious special snack.
Continuing our culinary journey, we came to Wuzhou. There is a traditional dish here – paper-wrapped chicken. The three yellow chickens produced by the famous Cen Xi are selected as the main ingredients, marinated with various spices, and then wrapped one by one with jade button paper, and fried in a peanut oil pot until just ripe. When the package is opened, the color is golden, the oil is moist and bright, and the smell is fragrant. When eating, it is tender and smooth, original flavor, mellow and not greasy. This dish allows people to taste the unique cooking techniques and delicious taste of the ingredients in Wuzhou.
In the Zhuang area of Guangxi, there is a traditional delicacy - Zhuang five-color glutinous rice. It is the traditional cuisine of the Zhuang people, named after the five colors of red, black, yellow, purple and white. The five-color glutinous rice is very fragrant and has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, the Zhuang people in Guangxi will use five-color glutinous rice to worship their ancestors and pray for a good harvest and peace. This dish combines the sweetness of glutinous rice with the unique taste of the five colors for a memorable taste.
Finally, we came to the origin of Guangxi's special delicacy - fragrant pig. Fragrant pig is one of Guangxi's special delicacies, made from small, high-quality pork. Crispy pork skin and tender meat, fresh and refreshing, is a very favorite delicacy of Guangxi locals. Whether it is roasted pork or stewed pork, people can taste the unique meat quality and aroma. This delicacy makes people feel the love and pursuit of food in Guangxi.
These five dishes are just the tip of the iceberg of Guangxi's cuisine. In the rich land of Guangxi, there are many other mouth-watering delicacies waiting to be discovered and tasted.
