Daoxiangju (songdouyujie)

The pot stickers of Daoxiangju are indeed very unique and delicious. Currently, they are basically ranked first in Kaifeng, and the locals of Kaifeng highly recognize them. However, the Daoxiangju store located in Songdu Imperial Street is temporarily closed due to interior renovation and upgrading, which is quite regrettable. If you really want to eat it, you can find another branch. It is worth a try.

Traditional Henan cuisine, authentic Kaifeng flavor Daoxiangju, opened in the eighth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty on the east side of Nanshudian Street, is said to have been founded by Shao Shutang from Tianjin. In 1990, it moved to Songdu Yujie. It is famous in the ancient city for its pot stickers and chicken wontons with "thin skin, large fillings, fresh and fragrant, crispy and with wing scales", and later added stir-fried dishes. Pot stickers are stuffed with fresh meat, tender leeks, peanut oil, small milled oil, cooking wine, minced ginger, etc., and are wrapped in fine flour skin into small boats. They are placed in a pan in turn, boiled with water and high heat, and then poured with thin flour water after the water is dry. Pour oil after the water is slightly used up, and then fry over low heat until the bottom is persimmon red. The real braised fish is made with wild small fish from the Yellow River, such as limaou (sound), creeping tiger, chuanding'er, bangu, huamazhe (zhāo), fish roe and other top-quality ingredients. It is strictly marinated, fried and braised until a pot of braised fish with golden color and delicious soup is ready.

Daoxiangju is a well-known old brand in Kaifeng. It was founded in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, which was in 1880s! At first, it only served its own pot stickers, and later added chicken soup wontons, and later added stir-fried vegetables. The dishes are simple and unrefined, and the pot stickers are really good when they are freshly cooked!

Kaifeng has delicious snacks, a century-old shop. I like to order the chive pot stickers in the shop the most. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the color is golden. Niu likes to eat the crispy edges the most. The small wontons are also very good.

The pot stickers tasted good, but the others were just average. They have a bad habit of cleaning the store after opening at 17:00, sweeping the floor in front of customers (the garbage left over from last time), and carrying the garbage can down from upstairs. What did they do earlier?
