Wuhu Food
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wuhu Food (芜湖美食) covers the dishes and snacks documented across Wuhu's urban districts and its county-level jurisdictions. Municipal food listings name shrimp-roe noodles (虾籽面), Wuhu Xiaolong soup buns (芜湖小笼汤包), Wuwei salted duck (无为板鸭), Zharo rou steamed rice (渣肉蒸饭) and Nanling Kuihu drifting fish (南陵奎湖漂鱼) among the city's signature foods.[1] Other official lists record local roasted duck dishes, fried snacks, shaomai and sweet fermented-rice snacks.[2][3]
Wuhu's local food references connect urban specialties with dishes associated with Nanling County and Wuwei City. The entries below summarize foods named by municipal tourism, culture and food-promotion sources; these lists are examples rather than an exhaustive menu.[2][3][5]
Wuhu Food by District and County
Wuhu currently administers five districts—Jinghu, Jiujiang, Yijiang, Wanzhi and Fanchang—Nanling County and county-level Wuwei City.[4] Provincial food-selection materials and a municipal cookery-training program associate named dishes and snacks with particular localities.[2][5]
- Jinghu District: A provincial food list groups shrimp-roe noodles, Xiaolong soup buns, radish-shred crisp shaobing, fried stinky bean curd, red-skin duck and shrimp-and-dried-tofu shreds as traditional Wuhu snacks associated with Jinghu. The same list names eight-treasure gourd duck (八宝葫芦鸭) for the district.[2]
- Jiujiang District: Lotus-leaf shaomai (荷香烧麦) and waist-shaped cakes (腰子饼) appear in the provincial food list under Jiujiang.[2]
- Yijiang District: A municipal cookery-training program pairs North Gate beef noodles (北门牛肉面) with orchid dried tofu and tiger-skin eggs.[5]
- Wanzhi District: Duck rice (鸭子饭) appears in the same program's local training menu.[5]
- Fanchang District: The program names Digang xiangcai (荻港香菜) and pickled radish as a local food pairing.[5]
- Nanling County: Kuihu drifting fish (奎湖漂鱼) is included in a provincial signature-food selection; the municipal training program also lists Jieshan old-duck soup (界山老鸭汤).[1][2][5]
- Wuwei City: Wuwei salted duck (无为板鸭) and Yanqiao peanuts (严桥花生米) are both identified with Wuwei in the provincial food-selection list.[2]
