What is the best late-night snack?
The reason why there is no solution for losing weight is really because there are too many temptations in the world. I just held the life preserver around my waist and vowed to lose weight, but before I went to bed, I saw a post from a popular dessert shop on the Internet. Even if you have enough willpower to survive this test, looking at the lunch combination of boiled meat and milk tea ordered by your colleague is simply mental abuse to yourself at this moment. In the end, my vow to lose weight was ruined by your kiss after only three days.
There is another temptation that is even more cruel, and that is food documentaries. The recently popular " flavor human world " has once again challenged the last line of defense for weight loss. Those slow-motion scenes of food preparation are just like porn, making people unable to control themselves. Although they claim that hypnosis is about appreciating the art of food, in fact they just treat it as an appetizer to prepare the mood for ordering takeout.
lost weight and ordered takeout, and the suffering has just begun. Watching hairy crabs and grilled lamb chops on TV, but you can only satisfy your craving with instant noodles and grilled cold noodles. At this moment, everyone deeply understands what is the "gap between ideal and reality." look! That’s how lethal late-night drama watching can be.
Maybe the reason is the same, and foodies decided to fight back, and they spared no effort to share the perfect late-night snacks that go with "Flavour Life". As a result, the original good intentions turned into a large-scale disaster scene. The recommended delicacies for some people were once again appetizing. There were also foodies who claimed that their own delicacies were worthy of the C-level late night snack. Naturally, the crowd laughed, "You are so bragging." It’s ridiculous.”
The main reason why we are so noisy about a small midnight snack is that it is a somewhat "private" delicacy. Different from formal meals, the concepts of the eight major cuisines and the north and the south have long been blurred. Now you can eat authentic fish in sour soup in Beijing, or order roast duck comparable to time-honored restaurants in Wuxi, Hangzhou, or even Mexican food from afar. , and also allow locals who have lived in a foreign country for a long time to taste the taste of monks. The regional concept of food has long been blurred nowadays.
However, late night snacks are an exception. Perhaps because of eating late at night, it does not have the ritual sense of frying and frying for lunch and dinner . It is necessary to eat well, but not so rich that you can't sleep. Late night snacks are usually small and delicious, full of ingenuity. Because of this, it has become a very popular but inconspicuous existence, sticking to its hometown and becoming a carnival for local foodies.
In fact, late-night snacks are not as random as you think. As early as the Song Dynasty, fruit boxes containing seasonal fruits, candied fruits and candies were a popular late-night snack at that time. However, compared with this wave of recommendations, it is just a snack at best. Faced with this wave of focus from netizens, there are both calories explosive dessert kebabs and healthy soups, as if hearing the alarm of overeating.
As an area hardest hit by late-night snacks, foodies from the south are the most popular. The most popular one is naturally Ma Xiao. However, everyone was also very noisy about the birthplace of Ma Xiao. From Changsha to Wuhan, and then to Xuyi, which is known as the hometown of crayfish, although the names are different in different places, crayfish can be stir-fried with a variety of spices. The spicy and exciting crayfish seems to be the most proud local late-night snack.
The popularity of crayfish can really be adapted into a good show. More than 10 years ago, it used shovels as a unit to measure the price of ingredients. Now it has suddenly changed, and its price has skyrocketed to more than 10 yuan per piece. In fact, Ma Xiao is considered the originator of Internet celebrity food. Around 2000, its popularity made foodies all over the country know about Beijing’s Guijie. Coupled with celebrities’ check-in and shopping, Ma Xiao became instantly popular all over the country.
The popularity of Sichuan cuisine has given Ma Xiao a lot of popularity. But more people’s late-night snacks still follow centuries-old food traditions. Casserole porridge is naturally the most popular in the Chaoshan area. The porridge is cooked in a casserole and uncooked rice over an open fire. When the porridge is cooked, add ingredients and continue cooking. The classic ones include casserole raw fish porridge, casserole shrimp porridge, casserole crab porridge, etc. Just thinking about it makes people drool.
The geographical location near the sea naturally brings a lot of convenience to Chaoshan foodies, who can taste the most authentic taste of seafood at any time.But this is the welfare of a few people after all. For more foodies, night market is the best place to satisfy their hunger. Taiwan’s night market culture is the most deeply rooted in people’s hearts. From oyster omelette to large intestine wrapped in small intestine, everyone has their own ideal menu. Although there are things to eat, drink and buy, they are thousands of miles apart but are out of reach. The night market stalls at your doorstep are real benefits.
If you have visited Luoyang , Old Town Cross Street Night Market is a destination for foodies to make a pilgrimage. As night falls, vendors pushing carts gather on the streets. The light bulbs on the tricycle, combined with the smoke filled with different aromas, whet your appetite and give people a warm feeling. This is what the cross streets of the old city look like, and it is also the daily life of thousands of night markets.
Although there are some hints of the most popular Internet food such as fried ice cream, mutton steamed buns are the mainstay here, as you can tell by the number of stalls selling them. The thin white flour cake is wrapped in minced mutton and special seasonings, and the mutton fat contributes to the flavor. The dough is chewy and chewy, and the burnt aroma on the surface makes people want to take a big bite right away despite the risk of being burned.
It is inconspicuous but has hidden surprises, which seems to be the characteristic of most late-night snacks. In addition to mutton kang buns, Datong jelly is also the same. The inconspicuous soy sauce vinegar and chili oil seasoning, the inconspicuous shredded dried tofu, cucumber and kimchi as a match, the inconspicuous smooth and chewy jelly as the protagonist, these inconspicuous combinations become a rich and flavorful dish A bowl full.
There are also silk dolls , with cucumber, soybeans, pickled radish shreds, kelp, folded root and other ingredients wrapped together in dough, sprinkled with local special sour soup or soy sauce and vinegar seasoning, and then sprinkled with spicy oil . Be sure to stuff a large mouthful into your mouth to challenge the capacity of your mouth, so as not to stain your hands with the soup. This race against time is the greatest fun when eating silk dolls. Moreover, all the ingredients retain their original natural taste, so this should be regarded as a light snack among Chinese meals!
There are also late-night snacks that seem a bit out of place. The dark night in Mong Kok is described in the movie as an uneasy feeling. However, for foodies, this is their gourmet paradise in Hong Kong. Temple Street is always bustling with people at night, and the main delicacy is claypot rice . Starting at five o'clock, hundreds of people have lined up in front of Four Seasons Claypot Rice, and this spectacle continues from dinner to midnight snack time. The fragrant claypot rice is topped with soy sauce, the chicken is tender and smooth, the rice grains are dry, and there is even a burnt aroma. Such hard food seems to be incompatible with a late-night snack. For Hong Kong people, it is an irresistible late-night snack.
When it comes to late-night snacks, the north seems to be a restricted area. Perhaps because of the past farming routine of "working at sunrise and returning at sunset", nights in the north end earlier, but that doesn't mean this is a wild place for late-night snacks. The name of Jinzhou BBQ has an unshakable position in the hearts of foodies, just like Ma Xiao, it is also irreplaceable.
It seems that any ingredient can be opened in a mouth-watering way on the grill where the skewer master has a small space. From traditional beef and mutton kebabs, to sizzling scallops and oysters, and even the representative of dark cuisine - brain flower, the deliciousness of barbecue needs no explanation. No wonder, the down-to-earth "Jinzhou Barbecue" has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Jinzhou City.
Regardless of north or south, whether healthy or heavy-flavored, late-night snacks are more like a measure of happiness than taste. When you are tossing and turning with hunger, the shops on the takeout platform have closed their doors to thank customers. At this time, the happiness that a bowl of instant noodles brings to you is absolutely irreplaceable by any delicious food.
