Fried buns are an indispensable snack for Shanghainese. Shanghainese people are accustomed to call all pastries with and without fillings as steamed buns, such as small steamed buns, fried steamed buns, etc., if one day the dog ignores into Shanghai, it is estimated that it will also be called "dog ignorance steamed buns".
Fried steamed buns are a native of Shanghai, and it is divided into two factions: "clear water" and "muddy water". The opening of the Shimizu pie is facing upwards, and there is no soup in the meat filling; The muddy water pie is open face down, and the meat is juicy. In fact, the two factions are also very different in their approach. The Shimizu pie is made of fermented dough, the meat filling is lean, the color is pink and white, and it looks fluffy after coming out of the pot, which is quite similar to the northern steamed buns. Shanghai's old famous store "Da Hu Chun" is the representative of Qing Shui Shengfang. The muddy water pie uses semi-fermented or unfermented dough, the dough is firm, and the skin jelly is added to the meat filling. After steaming, the meat filling is wrapped in a thick soup, which is dark due to the addition of soy sauce, and the soup is fresh and sweet, with a slight flavor of xiao long bao. In recent years, Xiao Yangsheng, which has swept the south of the Yangtze River, is a representative of the muddy water school.
Raw fried in clear water and fried in muddy water are not only very different in terms of method, but also in how they are eaten. The way to eat fried raw in muddy water is similar to that of xiaolong, first open a "skylight" on it, suck the soup and swallow it whole. However, be careful when biting into it, as the soup will spill everywhere if you are not careful. In contrast, the method of eating raw fried with clear water is much simpler, and it is not a problem to send it directly into your mouth one by one. In addition, the three fresh small wontons or vermicelli soup will be the best companion with raw pan-fried, which can not only avoid the dryness of raw fried in clear water, but also relieve the greasy of raw fried in muddy water, if the store does not provide the above two, then a bowl of white porridge is also very good.
Note! Xiao Yang fried does not represent the entire Shanghai fried industry, if you want to know which one is stronger in Shanghai, move to the recommended list of Shanghai fried fried.
