Youyu yangzage

Sheep miscellaneous cutting is a kind of local snacks in Youyu County. According to legend, Shanxi people began to eat Shanxi snacks, and the miscellaneous cut was given by Kublai Khan's mother. When Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu entered the Central Plains from Shanxi and passed through Quwo County, his mother, the Queen Mother Zhuang Sheng, was ill, and Xu Guozhen, a famous doctor in Quwo, made a diagnosis and treatment for him and became the favorite physician of Kublai Khan's mother. Xu's mother, chef Han Shanshan, served the Queen Mother Zhuang Sheng with her son. It was a pity that Han saw the Mongols eating mutton and abandoned it in the water. He picked it up, washed it, cooked it, and served it with green onions and peppers. It was delicious. After the queen mother tasted it, she was praised, that is, she was given the name "goat cheese". From then on, the Shanxi snack Yangzage gradually spread and became a folk snack. Shanxi snacks, haggis, are called differently in different areas of Shanxi, and they are also eaten differently. There are three ways of South, Middle and North represented by Quwo, Taiyuan and Datong. The South Road Miscellaneous Cutting (Quwo) emphasizes water boiling, and the original juice is the original soup, which is milky white in color and mellow in taste. The preparation method is roughly four steps of cleaning, boiling, cutting and matching, and the process is fine; The middle road (Taiyuan) is full of miscellaneous cutting materials, and onions, ginger and parsley are added to the soup, and some are added with vermicelli and tofu, which has another flavor; The eating method and preparation method of miscellaneous cutting in North Road (Datong) are rough. The cauldron is set on fire, and the soup is stewed in a pot with ingredients, which is kept with the food and is not formal. Shops selling haggis in Shanxi are also very distinctive. Generally speaking, every snack haggis shop in Shanxi has a big pot on the fire, with soup stock in it, and all the prepared haggis are put together for the next pot. Every time a guest comes, the boss will ask you to eat some Shanxi snacks. It means how much meat you want to add, and the price depends on how much meat you want. Don't think that mutton offal is pure meat, and it will be accompanied by vermicelli. Each soup stock has different ingredients, and the tastes are really different. But generally speaking, it is similar to mutton soup, but it is stronger than mutton soup in that mutton offal is more fragrant, more flavorful and more oily.
