Laobeijing enema

Enema, enema is a favorite snack in Beijing, and it is also a popular street snack. Enemas began to spread in the Ming Dynasty. "Hundred Chants of Food in the Old Capital" mentioned that the fried enema said: "The pork intestines are fried for a while, and the spicy garlic is salty and delicious. Rotten oil smells like bacon, and it's pitiful for Tumen to chew. " There are often hawkers selling this food on the streets of old Beijing. It is recorded: "Pork intestines filled with powder should be fried, chopsticks and dishes should be picked up with a shovel, and children with special flavor should buy them, and they should go through several lanes of Xieyang Lane. There are two kinds of enema: one is large enema, which is washed with pig fat intestines, made into paste with more than 10 kinds of raw materials such as high-quality flour, red yeast water, cloves, cardamom, etc., poured into the intestines, cut into small pieces after cooking, fried in pig oil, and poured with salted garlic juice, which tastes crispy and salty. The other is called small enema, which is made of starch, red yeast rice water and bean curd residue, steamed, cut into small pieces, fried in pig oil, and eaten with salt water and garlic juice. The enema is tender in the outside and eaten with bamboo sticks, which is quite distinctive. In old Beijing, the enema in Chang 'an Street is the best.
