I’m in Xi’an China
I came here to eat
We’re going for a full on street food exploration of this city
I’m so pumped
Let’s go check it out
Xi’an is packed with cuisine that you’ll fall in love with on your first try
You’ll never run out of new things to try as you explore the city
I came here solely to eat
And I found a ton of awesome snacks and meals that blew me away
Travellers always say that Xi’an is packed with food and intriguing flavours
And I have to agree
You’ll fall in love with the food here for sure
Make sure to watch until the end
Because this video is filled with food

First up is the suantang jiaozi 
A super delicious sour and spicy bowl of juicy beef or lamb dumplings
That you won’t want to miss
A bowl of these jiaozi is packed with chili oil vinegar
And sesame oil
And the broth is infused with shrimp skins

That is huge
30 suanla sour and spicy niurou beef jiaozi
Look at all the chili oil in there
Mix it up
Oh I can smell the sesame and cilantro
Look they are plump!
They are plump!
I can taste a lot of sesame in there
It’s a little spicy and very fragrant
It’s quite nutty
That sesame makes it really nutty
Next I made my way to try the most famous triple combo of street food in Xi’an
Ordering up a roujiamo Chinese burger
Some liangpi cold noodles
And a local orange soda
If you love juicy meat
The roujiamo is sure to please
It’s made with a homemade pita bread 
Stuffed with stewed fatty pork
Soaked in over 20 spices
This combined with the liangpi
A dish of cold noodles in a sauce that hits every possible flavour
Like tangy, sweet, savoury, herbal, nutty, and more
Just look at this

Now we’re going to find a spot to sit
Juicy pork

That mo bread is super crispy
And this rou
This pork is so juicy
Next thing we gotta try here is liangpi
These are like cold sliced rice noodles
With bean sprouts
And chili oil
Let’s try it out
Oh yeah
There is like this strong bean sprout flavour in there
Quite spicy
Very smoky 
A little sour
There is some vinegar in there
Later that night I found a famous fenzhengrou stall in the popular old muslim district
This is top notch spiced and steamed beef
Covered in wheat flour
Served with raw garlic
And a soft bun to stuff it in
This is the heyebing
Oh you gotta pack it with beef
Pack it with beef
You can see all that wheat flour on there
And close it up
There’s like a super strong fennel flavour in there
It tastes like fennel with this steamed fatty wheat flour beef
So the local way to eat it
You gotta eat raw garlic with it
That is strong
Then I made my way to try some of the famous Xi’an
Pop in your mouth soup dumplings
A Xi’an specialty that rivals with Shanghai’s Xiaolongbao soup dumplings
So we are at a steamed guantang jiaozi here
This is kind of like xiaolongbao

We’ll have to get some kaorou
Look at the skin

Juicy steaming dumplings
Packed with soup
And I have a babaozhou over here
This is like a thick, cold gooey soup
Sweet, it has these peanuts, sesame seeds
Look at this
There’s like huge chunks of dates
And it’s gooey
Oh yeah
What you have to do
Is bite into it and get the soup out first

It just exploded in my spoon
That is the soup dumpling right there
i’m just going to drink that
That is really peppery
It’s packed with juice
Let’s try that out
It’s really nice and refreshing
The next morning I made my way deeper into the Hui muslim district
In search of some awesome breakfast foods
And I found quite a few
Starting off with a super peppery and slightly numbing breakfast stew
Hulatang
You gotta break up this thick chewy mo bread 
And just put it in
Thick gloopy stew
Look, they give you chili oil to mix it through
Look how gloopy that is
It’s really peppery
It’s really peppery yeah
It’s definitely building
The spice builds on you
Not spicy in the beginning
But now, just a little into the bowl here
My mouth is quite hot!
But the soup wasn’t enough
So I went for a little walk down the street and found some silken bean curd
Covered in vinegar and chili oil
Just look at this big pot of silken tofu
It’s like a strong vinegar flavour
With a spicy tofu
It really has a strong vinegar flavour to it
Next for the final breakfast snack
I found some super delicious steam fried baos
That looks awesome
Look at that my hands are burning
Let’s try it out
Oh yeah
And after a little rest
I made my way out to try a famous cold liangfen dish 
That tasted like mustard and wasabi
It was super unique
So you gotta break it up
Look at this
It’s still warm
So she said to make it big
Like big chunks
And that’s how I’m going to make it
Let’s go take a look
Look at that sesame paste

It’s really nutty
And it’s invading the nostrils
That is so nice
The sesame paste
The sesame butter
It’s like thick and creamy
And there is like this chili oil that mixes with the sesame paste
It’s so smooth
This was a full day of eating
I just kept going
Later on, I went to go try the ultra signature noodle dish of Xi’an
The hand stretched wide biang biang noodles
That is a true mixture of flavours
Look at this
Sliced pork
Super juicy
Chunks and slices
And then this is zajiang 
Which is like mixed sauce
That is magic
The tomato flavour is really nice in there
And the chewy hand pulled noodles are just dripping
And soaked with flavour
Oh my

You can just keep going and going
I found a unique deep fried and then steamed beef
That locals line up down the street for
So we have the xiaosurou 
This is like steamed beef
It’s really gloopy and oily
And they give you a bowl of rice with it too
This is my first time
That’s pretty good
It’s just like slightly salty
Steamed, fatty beef
Yes
That’ll make it better
So we’re going to finish off the night
With a big fat bowl of Xi’an specialty
Yangrou paomo
And some classic chuan
I’m so pumped
This is the must try dish of Xi’an
Ordering up a steaming hot bowl of fresh lamb soup
Filled with pita bread and rice noodles
And getting a side plate of lamb kebabs
Look at the huge chunks of lamb meat
There’s nicely chopped slices of pita
You can actually do it by hand
You can break those pita chunks by hand if you want
But they didn’t have any for me
So they just gave their pre-chopped ones
This is like salty chili paste
We’re going to put that right in there
This is what it’s all about
Eating street food at night time with the local people
Spicy and flavourful food
Friendly locals
