The wedding banquet menu vividly shows Xi's food culture. What are Xi 'an's wedding menu?

Xi is the birthplace of Sanqin civilization and the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty. Its profound cultural heritage makes the people of this city optimistic and hardworking, and at the same time, it has a rough food culture, which is vividly displayed in Xi 'an's wedding menu. As we all know, Xi 'an is the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty, with splendid civilization and profound culture. It is also a gourmet kingdom. Daoxiao Noodles, mutton buns and Chinese buns have left a deep impression on foreign tourists and gradually become a major feature of wedding banquets. Xi's wedding banquet combines the characteristics of North and South. In addition to local beef and mutton, seafood and desserts have been added, and even mutton skewers and pepper chicken in Xinjiang have become a highlight of the wedding reception.

Xi people love to eat pasta, which has a lot to do with the traditional "southern rice and northern food". Although logistics is very developed now, rice in the south is easy to buy in supermarkets. For authentic old Xi 'an, a bowl of belt noodles and a spoonful of sour and delicious jiaozi are their favorites, and pasta has become a symbol of Xi 'an people's daily life. Even at the auspicious wedding reception, the shadow of "noodles" almost always exists.

Xi wedding banquets are divided into vegetarian banquets and full banquets. Vegetarian banquet is not what people imagine, but an ancient folk wedding banquet. In some rural areas, there is still the shadow of vegetarian feasts. The elders will start preparing three days before the wedding, making dough into various shapes, and making a pot of steaming fancy steamed buns with peanuts, almonds, sesame seeds, bean paste and other fillings. At the banquet, these should be put in a big bowl, together with mutton, and given to the guests after the banquet.

Hotel banquets are also called full banquets, similar to wedding banquets all over the world. They are sixteen dishes, eight cold and eight hot, and the taste focuses on salty, sour and spicy; Here, I would also like to say that Xi 'an is also very spicy except in Hunan and Guizhou, and "Chili steamed stuffed bun" is a classic lunch in the fields. Xi 'an, located in the hinterland of Guanzhong, has many mountains and little rain, developed animal husbandry and scarce aquatic products. Therefore, beef and mutton account for a high proportion in Xi's wedding menu. Secondly, Xi is a multi-ethnic area, and the collocation of beef and mutton can also take care of the tastes of most people. Longevity broadsword ear, pine nuts mixed with seasonal vegetables and Sanqin beef are the classic appetizers on Xi 'an wedding banquet menu, which combine sweet, sour, spicy and tender flavors with hot sauce and aged vinegar. Secret crispy cucurbit chicken is also a special food in Xi. It is divided into three processes: stewing, steaming and frying. After cooking, the skin is crisp and tender, and the salt and pepper taste excellent.
