My favorite food:RouYan

RouYan is also one of the foods I really like. It is from my hometown: Fuzhou, China. But many people say that RouYan is pork wonton, but the material for making RouYan is not wonton skin, but RouYan looks like pork wonton.I think RouYan is a very magical food because it is a food wrapped in pork with pork. RouYan has other names. It is the name given to him by Fuzhou people. It is called BianRouYan and TaiPingYan. Every Fuzhou person must eat RouYan. Because TaiPingYan means that you eat TaiPingYan God will bless you peace and security. My elders told me the origin of the name of the meat swallow, because the inside of the meat swallow is wrapped in pork, and the outside is shaped like a swallow, so its name is pork swallow, and the meaning in Chinese is called meat swallow. Every Fuzhou person will celebrate the holidays, weddings and funerals, and will eat meat swallows when friends and relatives gather.

Making RouYan's skin is a very troublesome thing, and the name of this layer of skin by RouYan is YanPi. YanPi is a Chinese intangible cultural heritage. If you don't have professional training, you can't make YanPi. The skin of RouYan is made from pork and tapioca (not flour). The first step in making YanPi is to put the pig's chop on the chopping board and then hammer the pig's chop into pork. If you want To beat the pig's chop meat into mud, you have to use a hammer to beat the pig's clam meat 2000 times, then wrap the beaten pig's lean meat on the tapioca powder, and then use the rolling pin to wrap the pig's skinny with the tapioca powder. The meat is made into a very thin YanPi, which is very thin. Finally, a large piece of YanPi is cut into a very large square. The next step is to start preparing the meat inside RouYan. The meat in RouYan is chopped pork, which is cut with pork on a knife. The chopped pork is placed in a bowl, some chopped green onion is added, and some seasonings are added. Stir and stir the pork for use.

The next step may be the last step, or it may be the first step, because the next step is to pack the cut pork in the YanPi, then steam the wrapped meat swallow in the pot and steam the meat in the meat swallow. The steamed meat swallow can be placed directly in a bowl and placed in the refrigerator for storage, or it can be eaten directly. If you are in the refrigerator, you can boil the water in the pot, then put the meat in the hot water, cook for two minutes, then put the cooked RouYan into the bowl and add a little hot water. Add some seasonings and chopped green onions to start eating.

I really want to eat RouYan in the US, but I don't find RouYan in the US right now. I didn't find it in Chinatown in New York because it is really too difficult to make it. I think it can only be eaten in Fuzhou, China. I think When I return to China, I will definitely be the first to eat it.

    1. The world recognizes that the United States is a strong country, but I rarely eat American food because I eat Chinese food every day. If you are a gourmet, you can go to China to try Chinese food, because every city in China will Have different foods
