赵家名吃四味烩菜(东大寺门食品街店)

From the Yellow River in the west to the Huai River in the east, the green shade is 1,300 miles. In the late spring of the last year of Daye, the willows are as white as smoke and snow. ————"Willows on the Sui Dynasty Bank" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty It is a rare Spring Festival holiday, and I will never forget my trip to Henan. For the last breakfast of my trip to Henan, I chose to eat at | Zhaojia Famous Four-flavor Stewed Vegetables (Dongda Temple Gate Food Street Store)^. Kaifeng not only has a profound historical heritage, but is also a food mecca. Many delicacies that outsiders have never eaten are blooming here, and four-flavor dishes are one of them. The four-flavor dish is in the form of soup, with four kinds of dishes as the main ingredients, so it is called four-flavor dish. Which four kinds? Fragrant and tough gluten, with fragrant day lily, plus meaty beef meatballs and oily crispy meat, the four kinds of dishes are mixed and served, plus a handful of coriander, and finally poured with thick mutton soup. You will swallow your saliva when you smell it. Take a sip, it is extremely fresh and fragrant. Eat another bite of crispy meat, crispy and soft, with meaty fragrance. Those who love spicy food can also pour some chili oil on it, which is slightly spicy and warms the stomach without destroying the freshness of the soup. Four-flavor dishes and pot cakes are a perfect match. In the morning, have a bowl of four-flavor dishes, drink a sip of warm soup, and then have a bite of crispy and meaty pot cakes. This is probably the little happiness of the locals. The trip to Henan is worthwhile, the beautiful scenery and delicious food are unforgettable.

On my trip to Henan, my stop was Kaifeng. I took a Didi (ride-hailing service) from the high-speed rail station to the tourist attraction and casually asked the driver for recommendations on local cuisine. He took me here. When I arrived, there was no queue, but it quickly filled up with people; the line was quite long. The owner told me he'd been selling this "Four-Flavor Stew" for over 30 years—basically four kinds of side dishes cooked in a broth, then served. Prices start at 15 yuan, depending on whether it's a small or large portion. To quote the owner, "The more expensive, the better the quality." It was worth trying.
