邹记鸡肉汤圆(笔山路店)

🍲 Zouji Chicken Tangyuan, a local specialty of Buyi Ancient Village in Fenglin, Xingyi, is a local specialty. Its unique flavor, "everyone else is sweet, but ours is salty and fresh," has become an unforgettable taste of Qianxinan in the memories of many diners. Zouji Chicken Tangyuan's history dates back to the late Qing Dynasty. Founder Zou Yongfu fled famine in Xingyi. His daughter-in-law, Pan Tingfen, accidentally created the meat tangyuan using leftover stewed meat and glutinous rice dough. Later, she refined the recipe to use chicken as the main ingredient, adding sesame, peanut butter, and chopped green onions. From then on, the reputation of "Zouji Chicken Tangyuan" spread. Today, the Zouji Chicken Tangyuan has been passed down to the fifth-generation inheritor, Xu Minchang. In 2018, it was included in the fifth batch of Qianxinan Prefecture's Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Zouji Chicken Tangyuan primarily uses local Anlong glutinous rice to ensure a fragrant, smooth, and tender crust. The filling is made from six or seven-pound free-range chickens and lean meat. The broth is made from pork shanks, hens, and lean meat. The cooked glutinous rice balls are soft and dense, and upon breaking open, they reveal a rich, savory chicken filling. The broth is rich and often flavored with sesame seeds, peanut butter, chopped green onions, and pepper, creating a rich, layered flavor with a perfect balance of saltiness and savory notes. 📍 Address: Zhaojiadu Village, Fengdu Subdistrict, Xingyi City, Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, within the Fenglin Buyi Scenic Area #XingyiTravel
