What ideas can be innovated and popularized in Hangzhou's food culture?

When I heard this reward proposal, my first reaction was: Besides the well-known delicacies such as West Lake vinegar fish and Longjing shrimp, what innovative ideas can Hangzhou have? However, if you think about it carefully, Hangzhou's food culture still has a lot of potential to tap and explore. Below, I will share some hangzhou dishes ideas that I think can be introduced based on my own experiences and feelings.

First of all, as a city with a long history, Hangzhou has a very rich traditional food culture. For example, traditional snacks such as lotus seed cake, Jingyuan cake and old yogurt are all delicacies among the population in Hangzhou. Lotus seed cake is one of the signs of Hangzhou time-honored snack bar, with crispy skin, soft stuffing and delicious taste. Jingyuan cake is a traditional rice cake in Hangzhou, and it tastes particularly delicious during the Chinese New Year. Old yogurt is the favorite of Hangzhou people, with moderate sweetness and sourness, which can relieve summer heat and regulate the stomach and intestines, and is a necessary food in summer. If these traditional foods can be promoted and improved, I believe they will be very popular.

Secondly, with the development of the times and the improvement of people's living standards, Hangzhou's food culture is also constantly innovating and developing. For example, the creative food such as smoked eggs and shrimps in Longjing has become one of the new business cards in Hangzhou. Smoked egg is an egg made of tea and flowers, which can not only increase nutrition but also adjust taste, and is the first choice for modern healthy diet. Longjing shrimp is a delicious food that combines traditional Longjing tea with shrimp. Rich in nutrition, delicate in taste and delicious, it is one of the must-eat foods in Hangzhou in summer. If we can develop more creative food and combine traditional food with modern food, I believe many people will be interested in it.

Finally, Hangzhou is a city with profound cultural heritage and rich cultural resources. In terms of food, we can also combine culture with food and introduce some creative food with local characteristics. For example, combining Hangzhou traditional Longjing tea with West Lake Longjing shrimp, a kind of Longjing shrimp tea rice was introduced; Combine traditional Hangzhou cuisine with western-style catering, and launch a Longjing shrimp burger and so on. This kind of food can not only satisfy people's taste buds, but also enable foreign tourists to better understand the culture and history of Hangzhou.

To sum up, Hangzhou's food culture has very rich potential and innovative space. We can innovate and explore from many angles such as traditional cuisine, creative cuisine and cultural cuisine. I believe we can introduce more hangzhou dishes and let more people feel the charm of hangzhou dishes.
