As soon as the weather clears up, breakfast shops in the capital begin to set up their stalls and get busy. The plan for the day lies in the morning. In Beijing, eating breakfast is not a matter of ambiguity. ;Sweet and salty, we have to eat them all~

However, every morning I see white-collar workers coming and going with Henan egg-filled pancakes, Tianjin pancakes and fruit, and Jiangsu small cakes. Long Baozi, as a native of Beijing, I feel very sad. I don’t know since when, those serious Beijing breakfast stalls have become increasingly rare. What do authentic old Beijing eat for breakfast? Please listen to me in detail~

·Sugar Cake ·

My childhood favorite! In the 1990s, there were breakfast shops all over the streets of Sijiu City. It was the most traditional breakfast in Beijing. Nowadays, many breakfast stalls no longer sell this kind of breakfast. It is a pity that frying sugar pancakes is a technical job. , roll out a layer of brown sugar dough on this surface according to the proportion, press it into a dough piece, draw two knives in the middle, fry it in a hot oil pan until golden brown, the fried sugar pancake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sweet buttery aroma is irresistible!

·Tofu brain·

The marinade of tofu brain is the most exquisite. There are two types of marinade: Hui and Han, Halal The marinade uses mushrooms and mutton slices. The Han people use pork, yellow flowers, and mushrooms to marinate the tofu. When eating tofu in Beijing, chive flowers, chili oil, and garlic juice are all indispensable condiments. Such a bowl of tofu has a delicious taste. The meat is juicy, the marinade is salty and fresh, the brains are tender but not falling apart, and melt in your mouth. The classic breakfast pairing in Beijing is fried dough sticks and tofu brains, but in fact, sugar pancakes and tofu brains are a perfect match! Eat something sweet and then some salty, this meal is perfect!

·Butter Fried Cake·

Butter Fried Cake is rounder in appearance than Jiangmi Noodle Fried Cake and does not have red beans. The sand filling has a faint milky aroma, it is crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside, a bit like puffs without butter. Dip it in sugar and eat it while it is hot. You will feel happy after one bite~

·Fried tofu·

Fried tofu, fresh tofu is fried into triangular pieces, boiled in steaming soup, take a bowl while hot, sprinkle with Chop the coriander, then add a few spoonfuls of chive flowers, fermented bean curd, sesame paste, and finally a few drops of chili oil. The refreshing light salty taste can neutralize the greasiness of all staple foods. Before you know it, you will have a big bowl of it. My whole body feels warm~

·Tanghuo·

When it comes to sugar huo, the smell of brown sugar sesame paste comes to mind. , with multi-layered softness inside and crispy sweet syrup on the outside, it’s not just for breakfast, I almost used it to replace all the steamed bun pancakes when I was a kid!

·Moodle tea·

Moodle tea is actually a paste made from broomcorn or millet noodles, and is topped with sesame sauce. Pull it into threads and pour it on top in a circle. Old Beijingers drink noodle tea without using a spoon or chopsticks. Instead, they hold the bowl in one hand and rotate it around to sip it. The noodle tea and sesame paste in the bowl flow into the bowl together. When you put it in your mouth, every sip will be smooth and full, with a delicate salty aroma. Drink it in your heart ~

·Fried liver·

Fried liver.

I have to say that it is breakfast in Beijing. It uses pork liver and large intestine as the main ingredients, garlic as the auxiliary ingredients, and then thickens it with starch. This bowl of oily red sauce and liver sausage fat is just like stewed, and there are many outsiders. I can't accept the taste, but in the eyes of Beijingers, a bowl of fried liver with a few steamed buns in the morning is really a hearty breakfast, and the taste is so authentic!

·Bean noodles and meatball soup·

Bean noodles and meatball soup is a tradition of old Beijing As a snack, the meatballs made from bean flour are first fried and then boiled with seasonings. Use a large bowl to scoop out half a bowl of meatballs and half a bowl of hot soup. Pour sesame sauce and soy bean curd on the meatballs. Then pour vinegar and sprinkle with coriander. The fragrance is fragrant. In the old days, this was a food for the poor. Nowadays, many old Beijingers still eat a bowl of freshly baked sesame seeds in the morning~

·Bean juice·

"There is a man on the street. He kicks him down, pinches his nose and pours a bowl of bean juice. When he stands up, he curses. He is from out of town. If he stands up, he asks: "Is there a burnt circle? ? "That must be a Beijinger"

Yes, bean juice is the most representative traditional drink of old Beijing. Whether it is the strong sour smell or the gray-green color, it will make people feel strange. Like stinky tofu, those who love it will love it, and those who hate it will hate it. The standard ingredients of bean juice are burnt rings and pickles. The greasy burnt rings and refreshing pickles can neutralize the strange smell of bean juice, although I am not used to it. Taste, but how can breakfast in old Beijing be without it~

Protecting the Country Temple Snacks

There are two types of snacks in old Beijing: Hui people and Han people.

Today I will introduce to you one Han people's and two Hui people's.

Let’s talk about the Han people first.

Han people are particular about eating fried liver buns. It is recommended that you don’t go to famous stores, especially those in tourist areas, because Beijingers basically don’t go there. That thing is also made to fool tourists. I recommend a little-known shop to you.

Miao Jia Po Bun Shop

Speaking of this bun shop, I was actually recommended by others. I checked online and found that the reviews were pretty good, so I went right there. Two taels of steamed buns ordered according to the rules. A big bowl of fried liver. Speaking of which, I am really courageous. After the experience of being tricked by the Xisi Baozi last time, I dared to order a big bowl. No problem, I really like this bite. Without further ado, here's your eye candy.

As soon as this picture is shown, some diners will definitely say that my spoon is wrong, but if you put it this way, you have a reference, and it is easier to see how big the bowl is, so there is no need to discuss whether to use a spoon or not.

As we said before, although this bun shop is called a bun shop, this bowl of fried liver is the soul.

Let’s talk about the quantity first. You will know by looking at the picture. This is really a lot of intestines. This big bowl is also big because of the dry ingredients, not a big bowl of thickening. As for the taste and texture, just drink it in circles to ensure that every bite is full of fragrance and you can eat something real in every bite. The fat intestines are soft and tender but not rotten, the liver melts in your mouth, and the gravy is just right, ensuring that the gravy won’t fall apart after you drink it, and there won’t be any leftovers.

Next, let’s talk about the buns. The buns are not the same style as those of Xisi and Kailin. They are made from yeast dough, but they taste really good. First of all, take a look at the filling. It’s just a meatball. It is real! If you don’t have a big appetite, don’t eat more than three buns. Besides the taste, your mouth will be full of oil when you bite it, and the meat is quite fresh and elastic. Fortunately, the bun skin is made from yeast, otherwise I would have to eat the big meatballs. I'm tired of it. When it comes to relieving tiredness, I have to talk about their chili oil, which is eye-catching.

His chili oil is by no means spicy, it is mainly fragrant. Pour vinegar into the vinegar dish, add another spoonful of chili, pick up the steamed buns and dip them in. The steamed buns are half vinegar and half chili. Once you take a bite, you will feel like eating one and feeling like two, eating two and feeling like three!

Finally, this store is just 200 meters south of Andingmen. If you go there, it’s best to wait until 90 o’clock and don’t queue up.

I see that most of the people who eat here are from nearby neighbors, and there are also quite a few people who order the tofu puff pastry. I don’t know if it tastes good or not. After all, my stomach is limited, so I can fill up on a few big buns. If you have eaten it, let’s chat in the comment area

After talking about the Han people, let’s talk about the Hui people

What the Hui people pay attention to is fried cakes, bean soup, mutton soup, and sesame cakes with meat

Let’s talk about sugar cakes first

Heiyaochang sugar cakes are basically the only remaining restaurant specializing in breakfast. If you want to eat authentic sugar cakes in Beijing now, you really have to go to their place. You hit your eyes.

When eating sugar cakes here, you can also customize single-sided sugar or double-sided sugar. When you bite into it, it is sweet but not greasy, crispy but not rotten. You have achieved the ultimate in sugar cakes!

However, I don’t recommend the other ones in his family, so it has to be said that they do the same thing.

I have to recommend another one to you

For the mutton soup, bean soup and sesame cakes with meat, you have to go to Lao Man Bao Du

Speaking of this I'm so excited, this thing is so delicious! In a previous article, I wrote about the fried pancakes stuffed with fried pancakes and pork elbows stuffed with sesame pancakes. I also specifically said that I don’t like to eat sesame pancakes stuffed with beef in sauce. It’s too hot and tastes bad. If you want to stuff beef and mutton with it, you have to stuff it with roasted beef and mutton. Hey, today we’re going to Let’s talk about this sesame seed cake stuffed with roasted beef and mutton!

Although it’s called Laoman Paodu, I rarely eat their Paodu. One reason is that it’s expensive, and the other is that I don’t like white drinks very much. It’s wrong. Every time I come here, it’s Shaobing with meat and lamb. Mixed soup or bean soup, no more nonsense, just enjoy it.

This is really a bag full of meat! Pairing the slightly spicy beef shreds with the tender mutton shreds can cover up part of the mutton smell, while leaving a fragrant aftertaste that lingers on your lips and teeth! The key point is that this is braised beef and mutton. It has been deep-fried, and it is still oily when you take a bite. It does not have the chewy feeling like beef with sauce. It makes you feel like eating two! You must try this blend of beef and mutton!

The key point is that their food is freshly cooked. If you want a few, they will cut the meat for you and put it in the freshly cut sesame seed cakes to ensure freshness, crispy sesame seed cakes and meat. Moisture and oil are also retained! The lips and teeth are fragrant! Of course, this is sesame seed cake after all, and you may get a little choked if you eat too much. At this time, you have to combine it with bean soup and haggis soup!

I recommend their bean soup. Just like the Laosi sesame seed cakes I wrote about before, it is definitely stewed in bone soup and has the flavor of stock. You don’t need to add chives and flower sauce tofu to enhance the flavor. It’s also great to drink dry. Not bad, of course, it will be more authentic with some chili oil!

Finally, there is this lamb offal soup, which is a lot for a big bowl. If it still sells for 10 yuan now, it would be so worth it! All kinds of offal inside are quite average, but the intestines feel a bit missing, which is a pity! But the point is that they are stewed to a pulp, which is better than Laosi Shaobing! You can add a spoonful of chili oil to this and drink it! I drink one bowl and think of two bowls!

That’s it for these three things that I often eat. It’s a perfect breakfast. According to the rules, I have to write down the address. But unfortunately, this one in Hufangqiao also closed later, and I didn’t have a way to go to work. I haven’t eaten it for a long time, and now it’s moved to the opposite side of Jiangong Hospital. I ate it again when I took my child to the maternal and infant physical examination next door. It was quite enjoyable!

There is an imperial dining restaurant at the north gate of the Temple of Heaven. Fried liver, sugar pancakes, and tofu curd are very authentic

It’s a pity that the old tofu is no longer available in Beijing, I really want to have a bite

I only want to have breakfast at Yaofeng in Madian Mosque and Lam Laishun in Grand View Garden. Recognize these two families. . .

The small restaurants in Beijing have all been contracted by outsiders. They have lost the old Beijing flavor and are no longer mercenary. They cut corners on materials and use inferior raw materials. It is hard to find chicken cakes and steamed buns!

Shahe Market in Changping District, Beijing, offers a wide variety of breakfasts every Wednesday and Sunday, including braised and roasted donkey meat, mutton soup, mutton offal soup, ramen noodles, braised noodles, steamed noodles, fried noodles, etc. There are so many things to see, everywhere. I personally think it's very good.

Tanghekou’s breakfast is the most authentic

Beijing Hotel’s breakfast is the most authentic, I wonder if you can afford it!
