In fact, the "side stove" in Guangdong population means eating hot pot. So what are the characteristics of the edge-beating furnace in Guangdong? Why do Cantonese people call eating hot pot a side furnace? Let's kiss little Bian Xiao and tell you how to play Guangdong side furnace. In Guangdong, you can't eat hot pot all year round because it will be "hot" (meaning getting angry). Autumn and winter are a good time to play with the side furnace. Every autumn, restaurants put hot pot on the table one after another, and people go to the side stove in droves to eat to their heart's content. Southerners and northerners eat differently. Northerners eat hot pot with simple ingredients, such as mutton, white meat and sauerkraut. Among them, the dip is particularly rich. What kind of soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, marinated shrimp oil, fermented bean curd and leek sauce are all delicious. Southerners can use many materials to make side furnaces. Chicken, dogs, snakes and seafood are all commonly used ingredients in the edge-beating furnace, but there are not so many ingredients, because southerners pay attention to the original flavor. Cantonese people like to make up, and the bottom material of hot pot is seafood and all kinds of herbs commonly used in soup making. At the end, even the soup was buried together, which was really delicious and tonic; Sichuanese like to eat spicy food, and there are a lot of peppers, peppers and butter in the bottom of hot pot, which makes it all red, which makes people from other provinces look shocking. The traditional Guangdong-style edge-beating furnace is standing and eating, and the pot is made of mud, so it is called "sipping", which is the casserole; The stove is also made of mud, and charcoal is burned inside. Chopsticks are made of bamboo, which is almost twice as long as ordinary chopsticks. It is not unusual to eat in a side furnace for two or three hours. What you want is leisure. There are chicken slices, fish slices, meat slices, shrimp slices, pork liver, duck liver, squid, fish balls, duck intestines, spinach, chrysanthemum and so on. There are many things that can be rinsed, all of which are cooked on sight of fire. Some restaurants specialize in washing game, and the grade is relatively high. Although they don't pay attention to soup, Cantonese people also like to cook with some fish bones, snake bones and shrimps first. Generally, monosodium glutamate is not added to soup. The dipping sauce is mainly sand tea sauce, and tofu and soy sauce can also be dipped. Guangdong people are most famous for snake meat and dog meat. Eating snake meat in Guangdong was priced by gold, and now it is killed by gold. Chicken soup is used as the base soup, snake meat is sliced, and snake skin is cut into small pieces and put into the pot before eating. Drink white wine with snake bile and snake blood. It should not be left for too long, otherwise it will condense. Snake liver can be scalded, just like snake meat. If the snake meat is scalded, the snake skin can also be eaten. Snakeskin tastes crisp and delicious. You can dip it in sand tea sauce or dip it in the sauce prepared by the store itself. After eating this pot, no matter how cold it is, you will sweat. According to ancient books, snakes can dispel wind and promote blood circulation, which is a great supplement to dispel cold and dampness. Modern medicine has proved that snake meat and snake oil contain a lot of amino acids and linoleic acid, which can protect blood vessels and delay aging. Dogs are called "Sanliu" in Guangdong, because "nine" and "dog" are homophonic in Cantonese. Guangdong people divide dogs into four grades: one yellow, two black, three flowers and four white. It is said that yellow dogs and black dogs are the best, and I don't know what scientific basis there is. Dog meat should be eaten with tofu. In addition, the beef balls in Chaoshan are also great, just like the tribute balls in Taiwan Province Province, which are very elastic. Coupled with excellent broth and Shantou sand tea sauce, it is really a "vulgar bowl". The front side furnace is made of charcoal copper chafing dish. The copper is warm, harmonious and atmospheric. But it's too much trouble to use, and it's hard to find now. There are three common fire boilers: cassette furnace, electric furnace and induction cooker.
