Wheat shrimp is made by mixing wheat flour into a batter, which is then thoroughly stirred to enhance its elasticity. The batter is then sliced into strips with chopsticks and dropped into boiling water. Each strip of dough plops into the water and floats like a shrimp—hence the name. Once cooked, it’s topped with ingredients such as mushrooms, sausages, zucchini, and beef, resulting in a rich and savory flavor.…

As night falls in Linhai, if you stroll along the small streets paved with bluestone slabs, you’ll hear the slow, monotonous, and dull sound of a bamboo clapper: “Duk—duk!” Don’t mistake it for the night watchman’s rounds—it’s actually the call of the wonton vendor carts that have existed in Linhai since before its liberation. In the past, both elders and children would recognize this “duk—duk…” sound as the signal that the elderly wonton seller was making his painstaking way down the street with his heavy cart. “Wontons, please.” Once the cart stopped, a child would hand over seven fen, and the vendor would swiftly pour a small amount of hot water into a bowl, scoop in the boiled wontons, then top them with shredded pork, chicken broth, winter bamboo shoots, and chopped leeks—what locals call the “topping.” This is the signature Linhai-style wonton.
Lamb’s Hoof Pastry, Horse Hoof Crisp, and Moss Cake are all traditional pastries from Linhai with a history of over a hundred years. The Lamb’s Hoof Pastry is made from sweet fermented flour shaped like a hoof—round on the sides, flat on the bottom, and divided into four lobes on top—with sesame seeds sprinkled on the surface. It is then dried and baked until crisp. Sweet, fragrant, and crunchy, it is also very affordable. In the early years after Liberation, each pastry cost just one fen. For ten fen, you could buy ten pieces, getting a whole bagful that could satisfy your cravings or serve as a small gift when visiting relatives or patients. Nowadays, it has disappeared from the market, probably because its low profit margin doesn't meet today's economic priorities.
Egg-Stuffed Wheat Pancake The egg-stuffed wheat pancake is made by pouring beaten eggs evenly into an almost-cooked ordinary pork wheat pancake, then cooking them together on the griddle until both are fully done.

Originally, the pork wheat pancake was already incredibly savory and flavorful…
Stewed Dried Tofu in a Pot In the old days, a pot would be placed on a stove to cook sweet potatoes, which were sold as they cooked. This was known as the “Sweet Potato Pot.” Why does the very ordinary red-hearted sweet potato become so tender and sweet once boiled in the pot? The secret lies in the fact that the pot was never washed. Once one batch of sweet potatoes was sold out, freshly washed raw ones were added directly...
