What is the reason for mala Tang’s fire? Tianshui? Show you the hidden "food" power of Gansu

Tianshui spicy hotpot is on fire! Some people have been hooked up with a greedy bug and are going to "see your face". Some people have already inquired about the vacuum express delivery business, and some people have expressed doubts: Isn’t mala Tang everywhere? Why is it Tianshui?

A long queue at the door of the shop.
Compared with the "hot pot" Sichuan Mala Tang or the "sticky" Northeast Mala Tang, Tianshui quietly combined this national snack with local ingredients and brought it to another extreme-unique flavor and its own school.

You can "randomly faint a person who has never eaten" through the screen. Tianshui Mala Tang can have such a beauty effect, thanks to the "Chili oil filter".

The sandy soil in Gangu County, Tianshui City is very suitable for pepper growth, and the line pepper grows seven inches red. Its appearance is strong and spicy, but it is not sharp. It is mainly fragrant and sweet, and it has a long history of planting. It was once a palace tribute in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and it was also one of the "secret recipes" for Tianshui Mala Tang.

Of course, I have to mention Tianshui pepper. "Qi Min Yao Shu" records that "Shu pepper leaves Wudu, Qin pepper leaves Tianshui". The pepper in Maiji District and Qin ‘an County of Tianshui is bigger and more grains, thicker and fuller, brighter in color, fragrant and mellow in taste than other places … It can be said that it should be beautiful and delicious.


Pepper and pepper in Tianshui are mixed with star anise, fragrant leaves, chopped walnuts, white sesame seeds, sugar, and then poured with hot oil such as onion, onion and coriander, which catches people’s taste buds and attracts their eyes. This is the legendary Tianshui Mala Tang "Soul Juice".


In addition, the "vegetable bouquet" of Tianshui Mala Tang also hides the "food power" of the whole Gansu Province.

Potato balls, potato chips, hand-rolled powder … When it comes to these hot items in Tianshui, it can be attributed to Dingxi Potato, a big "shareholder". As the "hometown of potatoes in China", the potatoes in Dingxi represent the highest standard of potato taste to some extent, and it is not surprising that the processed ingredients can become the staple food of Tianshui Mala Tang.

Dingxi has three treasures: potato, potato and potato.

In fact, Gansu is still a hidden "vegetable province", and the famous plateau Natsuna will be listed soon, and Tianshui Mala Tang is the first choice to experience the "top match" of vegetables. You can eat the Chinese cabbage thought to be from Guangdong, the same celery and cauliflower sold to Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao and the Pearl River Delta, as well as the mushrooms of Zhangye and the fungus of Longnan, which are rich and fresh and can be eaten all at one stop.

All kinds of mushrooms with unlimited power.

As a daily dish of Tianshui people, "Tribute" pepper can be found in the familiar Lanzhou beef noodles, most of the dough, croak, ran ran and the dip of steamed stuffed bun jiaozi. These delicacies are well worth a try. After all, "it’s all here".
