Hui Street in Xi'an is one of the must-see places for all tourists. However, over the years, Hui Street has become more and more homogeneous and commercialized. Many people think that it is a trap for tourists. The food in Hui Street has also been criticized by many locals. Should I go to Hui Street?

In fact, as a native of Xi'an, I have to clarify once again that Hui Street is not a street, but a whole neighborhood. In addition to the most lively and prosperous main street, there are also Dapiyuan, Miaohou Street, Xiyang City, and Sajinqiao. In the back neighborhoods, many delicious foods worth eating are actually hidden in these alleys. So what should we eat on Hui Street?

1. Mutton steamed buns in soup

The more famous old paomo shops on Huimin Street are nothing more than Lao Sun's, Lao Mi's, and Tong Shengxiang. However, many tourists think that the price is high and the quantity is small, which is not cost-effective. In fact, a steamed bun is boiled using the freshest ingredients starting from the base soup. The meat is fresh and the aroma is strong. The making process of Tongshengxiang mutton steamed bun has been included in the national intangible cultural protection heritage. Mutton steamed buns are also divided into three production methods: stir-fry, basin, and pao steamed buns. Pao steamed buns are the most common method of breaking steamed buns and soaking them in broth. Small stir-fry is an additional frying process than ordinary pao steamed buns, which will be more delicious and is a blessing for people with a strong taste. The basin is to soak steamed buns in mutton vermicelli soup. Less steamed buns and more soup. Various options allow people to choose according to their own tastes.

2. Marinated jelly

Marinated jelly is a newly introduced online celebrity delicacy last year. People who love it find it extremely delicious, but those who don't like it avoid it like snakes and scorpions. Mix marinade, steamed buns and seasonings together, combine vinegar, mustard, garlic juice, salt, sesame paste, and oil-poured chili seeds to form layers of different tastes, and add one black and white egg each. It really makes people love and hate it.

3. Hulutou

Hulutou is a traditional specialty snack in Xi'an. It is a kind of steamed bun made of pig intestines and pork tripe as basic raw materials. It is named because the pig intestines look like gourd.
