Although Yan'an is close to Xi'an, it is located on the Loess Plateau and therefore has a unique food culture. Unlike Xi'an, Yan'an's street restaurants offer a wide variety of food, far from cold noodles, roujiamo, paomo or oil-splashed noodles.

[One] Yan'an Zhanzhan is divided into hot Zhanzhan and cold Zhanzhan. Cold Zhanzhan is eaten directly with sauce, while hot skewers are similar to skewers and can be eaten with shabu-shabu.

#Local delicacies Although it is similar to Sichuan skewers in form, the types of skewers, the base of the pot, and the way of eating are unique. It is indeed worth a try, but whether you can get used to the taste depends on the individual [snicker] [Mint] Environment: In a dilapidated building that is not facing the street. To put it nicely, it has a bit of Hong Kong style. To be honest, it is like the tube buildings in the north in the 1980s and 1990s [covering face] [Service bell] Service: When we went there, there was only the proprietress. While skewering, she greeted us warmly, explained the special dishes and how to eat them, and prepared the dipping sauce for us. She was very talkative [snicker] As for the dishes, let's talk about the types of skewers. In addition to some regular skewers of Sichuan cuisine, there are many skewers made of various bean products, potatoes, and whole grains (Figure 6). Each color and shape is different, and there is a clear difference in the toughness and stickiness of the taste. I can't tell what the specific materials are. You can try it yourself if you have a chance [snickering] and there are two types of skewers here. One is cooked and can be eaten directly, and the other needs to be boiled, which also corresponds to the two ways of eating introduced below [proud] The two ways of eating are cold soup and hot pot. The cold soup corresponds to the cooked skewers, and then dip them in the two bases in Figure 7, which are actually cumin powder-based soup and chili oil with vinegar [dazed] Hot pot boiling is easier to understand, that is, cook the skewers before eating. As for the hot pot base, there are two main types, dry powder based on chili powder and dry powder based on cumin powder, and then directly add water to cook without adding oil. It is relatively healthy, but it is hard to say whether you can get used to it. You can imagine the taste by yourself [dazed] The ingredients here are very fresh. I ate a few meat skewers casually. The quality is no problem, but I really can't get used to this seasoning [laughing and crying]
