Once saw this online, people in economically developed areas pay more attention to the original taste of the food when they eat, and the taste is relatively light. They like to eat heavy numbness, spicy and oily areas, mostly economically backward areas, that is, the taste of the poor. I wonder if this sentence makes sense?
If it makes sense, then I feel that Ningbo is an exception. Ningbo's economy is relatively developed, the local area is back to the sea, with a large number of seafood, a wide variety, and a low price. However, in addition to eating seafood, Ningbo people also like some heavy-tasting foods.
There is a dish that makes Ningbo people very popular and often eat it. When outsiders see it, they shake their heads. It is one of the three stinky amaranth in Ningbo. I believe most Ningbo people have eaten this dish.
But for outsiders, this dish is a typical dark dish. This dish seems very ordinary but has a long history. As early as hundreds of years ago, the local area had developed the habit of eating this dish.
amaranth is on the market every year, locals will carefully cook it into smelly amaranth. The method is not complicated. Use fresh amaranth stems, wash and dry the water, cut it into 5 cm sections, put it in a pot and steam it. Sprinkle the cool amaranth stems in a container with salt to let it ferment naturally.
This dish often appears on the dining tables of Ningbo people during the New Year. When you eat too much big fish and meat and feel very fed up, eating a bite of this dish will make people have a lot of appetite and feel very appetizing.
Usually locals put stinky amaranth and stinky tofu together. It is a very famous local steamed double stinky, and the method is also very simple. Prepare a box of stinky tofu, gently rinse the surface with running water to remove dirt on the surface.
Then place the stinky tofu neatly in a bowl, take out the stinky amaranth and put it on the stinky tofu, put it in the pot and steam it for about 25 minutes.
If you like spicy food, you can put a little chopped pepper on it. If you don’t eat spicy food, just add a little sesame oil and MSG, and mix well.
This dish smells very volatile. After all, it is a strong team, but it feels very fragrant and it is very delicious when eaten. It is said that many Ningbo people who leave their hometowns have the first thing to do when they return home is to try this dish.
Some people also say that this dish is OK to eat occasionally, but not often. Most of the people who like to eat this dish now are the older generation, and young people like to eat less and less. Don't you like to eat it?
