Sanya, as the southernmost tip of Hainan Island, has some seaside scenery that many inland cities do not have, and it has also created a unique food culture and special cuisine.
Some time ago, the editor braved the sweltering heat to travel to Sanya. As a foodie, of course I couldn't wait to try a lot of Hainan specialties.
Next, follow me into the unique Hainanese food.
Coconut Chicken
The bottom of the coconut chicken pot is usually coconut water, coconut meat and red dates. As the main ingredient, Wenchang chicken is put into boiled coconut water and ready to eat in about three minutes.
Wenchang chicken is more tender and whiter than ordinary chicken. Because the cooking time of is not long, is tender and smooth in the mouth, and has the unique fragrance of coconut.
The soup base of cooked chicken will become more mellow and rich . At this time, you can take a ladle to drink, or add other ingredients to rinse it, both are excellent choices.
It is worth mentioning that I found that there are always many green kumquats in the seasoning area of coconut chicken hot pot. Squeeze a few drops of kumquat juice into the prepared sauce, tastes more sweet and sour, reduces a lot of the stickiness caused by the summer heat, and adds a lot of appetite. Perhaps this is also a wonderful connection between geography and humanistic cuisine.
Seafood feast
When mentioning Sanya, we will immediately think of seafood. Because it is close to the sea, Sanya has a rich variety of seafood with high quality and beautiful prices.
Faced with these various types of seafood, there are naturally a variety of cooking techniques. can be steamed, stuffed with oil, or seared with salt. is based on the characteristics of the ingredients and has gradually formed the most suitable method for the ingredients.
Like my favorite steamed seabass , cover the fish with ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell, and add a little soy sauce and cooking wine for seasoning. Obviously it is the simplest cooking method, but is the best way to properly restore the fresh flavor and tender texture of the fish itself.
Dip a small piece of tender meat into the sauce used to steam the fish. The moment you enter the mouth, the freshness and tenderness of the fish linger in your mouth in a gentle way. Although there is no strong taste bud experience, this kind of mild and simple taste enjoyment often makes people forget to come back.
Fried ice
Fried ice, also known as fried fruit. Pour the fresh milk and juice into the ice-frying pan and stir-fry continuously until the liquid gradually thickens and finally turns into ice slurry. looks like thick yogurt . Because you can choose different fruit flavors, the ice cream produced comes in a variety of colors, bright and colorful .
Compared with fried yogurt , fried ice is more fluid. Use a spoon to pick up a spoonful and put it into your mouth. You can feel the cold fried ice flowing slowly in your mouth, and the milky aroma is overflowing.
The taste is quite smooth , not as strong as a smoothie or fried yogurt, but more like a refreshing coolness.
Shrimp cakes
Shrimp cakes are sold by many street vendors and shops in Sanya. There are two types of shrimp cakes: small shrimp cakes and large shrimp cakes. Please note that the size here refers to the size of the shrimp, not the size of the cake.
Put the batter, chopped green onion and shrimp into the oil pan together, turn over, and fry until golden, crispy and fragrant. also made the editor waiting on the side drool.
The deep-fried shrimp cakes are brushed with sweet noodle sauce . Those who like salty and sweet food will really want it. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. When I go out in the morning, I have a big shrimp cake and a small shrimp cake. The is full of carbohydrates and gives people a full sense of happiness.
Hainan Qingbu Liang
The Hainan Qingbu Liang mentioned last must be the most famous special food in Sanya and even Hainan.
It is popular in Hainan and even the whole country because of its many ingredients, refreshing and refreshing, sweet and delicious, and affordable price.
In fact, there are three main types of refreshing and cooling , which are coconut milk refreshing and refreshing, smoothie refreshing and refreshing, and coconut milk refreshing and cooling. One of the most popular ones we eat is coconut milk as a refreshing tonic.
Chilled coconut milk is added with shredded coconut meat, taro, mung beans, red beans, crushed peanuts, etc., giving this small bowl of refreshment a rich taste and layer . In the night of Sanya, it is really a wonderful thing for to hold a bowl of refreshing snacks and go shopping with friends in the street night markets and look at the seaside scenery.
The people and food in Sanya seem to have a casual and free temperament. Everyone can walk comfortably and leisurely on the streets wearing flip-flops, holding a big coconut in their hands, and live their own chic life. The same goes for
food. There is no complicated cooking process or exquisite appearance design. There is just a unique and simple food philosophy that adapts to the local climate of .
