There are many cuisines in Xi'an, what do Xi'anese usually eat for breakfast?

The reason to like a city usually starts with breakfast. The aesthetics of life in Xi'an is hidden in this breakfast. Let's take a look at the most authentic breakfast of Xi'an people!

1. Noodle Skin/Rice Skin

In the Shaanxi cold skin jianghu, there are Qishan Rolled Noodle Skin, Xi'an Cold Skin with Sesame Sauce, Qinzhen Rice Skin, and Hanzhong Hot Rice Skin, which are each unique in terms of flavor and popularity. Qishan Rolled Noodle Skin is a classic Xi'an snack with thin and wide rolled skin, Q-bouncy texture, and rich and refreshing flavor with sesame sauce, cilantro and minced garlic. Qinzhen Rice Skin, on the other hand, is famous for its soft and delicate texture and rich sauce. Whether you prefer noodles or rice, whether you like spicy flavor or light texture, Shaanxi's noodles and rice skins will satisfy your taste.

The stores recommended by Fish Sauce are Jingjia Liangpi, located on the west side of the ground floor of Zhixiang Plaza on Spunke Road in Textile City, an eastern suburb of Xi'an, and Wujia's old Rice Pi store, south of the east section of Jianxi Street. The flavors of these two are very much in line with the taste preferences of the locals: the rice skin is smooth and bouncy, the oil splash of hot pepper is fragrant and spicy, coupled with a rich sauce, a bowl to wake up the numb nerves!

2. Meatball and Spicy Soup

When you come to Xi'an, you can't miss the meatball and spicy soup! Compared to Henan's hot and spicy soup, Xi'an's meatball and hot and spicy soup is milder, less spicy and stimulating, and more savory and fresh aftertaste. Meatball soup is a classic breakfast soup in Xi'an, combining fresh taste and rich flavor. Usually made up of meatballs, soybean sprouts and eggs, the steaming hot soup is seasoned with some chili peppers and spices, making the whole thing even richer. Each bite of the soup brings with it the chewy and tender flavor of the meatballs, making for a memorable experience.

The stores recommended by Fish Sauce are Xing Laosan Meatball and Spicy Soup, located diagonally across from Xidian Experimental Primary School at No. 5 West Labor Road, and Liu Tiger Meatball and Spicy Soup, located at No. 12 from Xinxin Lane. These two stores are open for many years of the old store, the flavor of the soup is rich and delicious, is the new kind of chain stores can not be compared to, a week without eating will want to not be able to, even if the long way around to go to eat a bowl!

3. Beef Cake

Beef cake, also known as palace crispy beef cake, was once tribute. The strong pastry is rolled out in thin slices and topped with a thick sprinkling of freshly chopped cabbage and scallions, plus a secret beef filling that is delicious. As one of the traditional snacks in Xi'an, beef patties have a soft crust and aromatic beef filling. The crust is kneaded and fermented many times to make it thin and tough. The beef filling, on the other hand, is made from high-quality beef with a variety of seasonings and vegetables to create a tasty and flavorful filling.

The stores I recommend are Old Mee's Beef Patties, at 81 Da Learning Lane, and Jia Wu's Oil Paste Filling, at 80 Mai Amaranth Street Central. Fish sauce loves cakes, so I look for beef cakes in other cities, but I have to say that Xi'an's beef cakes are the best. With plenty of beef, proper seasoning, and a crispy crust, these two are the golden legend cakes of beef cakes.

4. Oil Tea Sesame Flowers

The sesame flowers of the oil tea sesame flowers are made with semi-fermented flour, which is chewier than ordinary sesame flowers. Sesame flower soaked in oil tea, the outside becomes soft, the inside still maintains the strength, with soybeans, sesame, walnut crushed and hemp leaves and other ingredients, a mouthful of salty and fragrant. Sesame flower in oil tea is one of Xi'an's favorite desserts and breakfast choices. The oil tea is made through precise ratios and a unique process, bringing a strong tea flavor and rich layers of texture to every bite. Sesame flower, on the other hand, is made of deep-fried noodles, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a crunchy and delicious bite. Soaking the twist in the oil tea adds variety to the texture and allows the twist to absorb the sweet flavor of the oil tea, creating a unique culinary combination.

The stores I recommend are Old Wu Family Oil Tea Sesame Flower, next door to Ernest's Big Plate Chicken at the east entrance of Hongbu Street, and Halal Original Beiyuanmen Jia Family Oil Tea Sesame Flower, located at No. 232 in the middle of the North Guangji Bridge in the Lianhu District of Xi'an. For first-time visitors to Xi'an, especially for southern tourists, the taste of oil tea twist may find it difficult to accept, but the fish sauce still want to recommend, because this is the authentic Xi'an breakfast, from snack to taste.

5. Vegetable sandwich/meat sandwich

In Shaanxi, "everything can be sandwiched into a bun". There are usually two kinds of meat in bologna, pork and beef, pork is fat but not greasy, beef is dry but not firewood. The chopped meat is served in a broken bun with a spoonful of bolognese sauce, which is delicious. Vegetable sandwiches, on the other hand, are served with seasonal vegetables such as shredded potatoes, seaweed and bean sprouts in a crispy bun, and some stalls also serve them with potpourri and green and red chili peppers in a variety of styles of your choice.

My recommendations are Old Ma's Ma Rong Egg and Vegetable Sandwich Buns at No. 115, Shijinqiao, and Yang Tianyu Beef and Beef Sandwich Buns at No. 132, Shijinqiao. With the front of those who need to sit down to savor the breakfast is different, vegetable sandwich buns can be taken on the go, so it is also the fish sauce is the most often eaten a kind of breakfast, sandwich meat and vegetables can be, the taste can also be adjusted according to their own preferences, there is really no one who does not love the vegetable sandwich buns, you have to try it ah!
