Practice of Chengdu Guokui

Guo Kui, Chengdu Tang Hong

According to legend, Guo Kui originated in Shaanxi, and it was originally the dry food for soldiers or migrant workers, so its roughness can be seen. But just as many things will definitely become different once they enter the land of abundance. Guo Kun is no exception. From the initial white flour, it quickly developed into salt and pepper, brown sugar and various fillings. All the ingredients you can think of can be paired with Guo Kui. Because the structure of Chengdu Guokui is hollow, there is a lot of elastic space. In the past, white flour, salt and pepper were still available in public stores, but brown sugar pot helmets were hard to find. "
