What are the characteristics of breakfast in Shanghai?

We have many special breakfasts in Shanghai.

First, fry

Fried steamed bread, also called fried steamed bread, is a native of Shanghai and the standard breakfast for most Shanghainese. They think this is "the first snack in Shanghai". In the store, fried meat is generally divided into three flavors: fresh meat, crab roe and shrimp. The fried skin is fermented noodles, thick but soft and chewy. The bottom is crisp and golden, hard but not burnt; The stuffing is tighter and the soup is absorbed by the skin. When you take a bite, the delicious taste of meat, oil, onion and sesame will last in your mouth for a long time.

Second, scallion cake

Scallion cake is a special snack in Shanghai, which is deeply loved by Shanghai people. The main ingredients are flour and chopped green onion, which are fried first and then baked in the traditional way. Brush and fry first, and then put it in an open stove when the onion is fragrant, so that the skin is crisp and the lining is soft and salty. Eat it while it is hot. Bite it down, and the scallion oil will be moist and layered. After eating, you have some unfinished business.

Third, fried dumpling.

Fried dumpling is one of the most common snacks in Shanghai. Just out of the pot, the pot is full of oil and fragrant.

Come on, take a bite. The skin is crispy and the meat is fresh and smooth. It is especially delicious with fresh and salty hot sauce or rice vinegar. Be careful when you eat. The soup is full, fresh and not greasy, and you can eat it instantly with a bite.

Fourth, rice cakes.

The rice cake is a traditional food in Shanghai. It is a kind of breakfast that Shanghainese often eat in the morning. It's called Gu Fan. After the glutinous rice is steamed, it becomes Gu Fan with a certain viscosity. Then knead the rice into a ball, put a fried dough stick in the middle, or add some sugar to make a "rice ball", which is more convenient to eat in your hand and sometimes stick to your hand. If you add some glutinous rice to make a rectangular block and put it in oil, it will make a "rice cake" with yellow outside and white inside, which is also a delicious breakfast.
