饺饼筒

Jigong Burrrito

饺饼筒不仅是台州的，更是中国的。在上海世博会期间，饺饼筒被叫作“济公卷饼”，作为中华名小吃登场，而这名字则源自它的来历。相传，天台的济公和尚见每餐剩下不少菜，于是就把剩菜裹入面饼，留到下一顿再吃。

单从饺饼筒这一叫法可能不能直接了解到它的吃法，但若称之为卷饼则相对直观一些。用面粉加水拌成面粉浆，摊饼时，拈一团又软又韧的面粉浆放在底部加热的平底鏊盘上，顺时针或逆时针匀上一圈即成，再卷入土豆丝、鸡蛋丝、茭白、炒肉等家常菜，最后放到锅里煎得又香又脆，一个饺饼筒就完成了。皮薄、陷香的饺饼筒，是每一个在外漂泊的天台人的乡愁。

Being a local favorite， Jigong Burrito is popular in China and beyond—it was exhibited as a representative Chinese delicacy at Shanghai World Expo. Legend has it that Jigong， a famous monk born in Tiantai， always took a flat bread to wrap some leftovers for his next meal. That is， as is largely believed， where the name came from.

To make a Jigong Burrito， you need a batter， which is a mixture of flour and water， and make sure it is soft and elastic. Take some of the batter to put on a hot pan， before smearing it evenly clockwise or counterclockwise; fill the freshly made flat bread with home-cooked shredded potatoes， fried eggs， stir-fried sliced meat… you name it， roll it up， and pan-fry it until it is nice and crispy. For Tiantai people working away from their hometown， this is a taste of home.

扁食

Bianshi Dumpling

扁食是天台的特色小吃，在天台某些地区，扁食也是端午的主要食物。与饺饼筒一样，扁食也是由面粉制成。揉面，切段，用擀面杖压成巴掌大的薄皮，然后把煮熟的萝卜、笋干、精肉、豆腐干、鸡蛋碎末搅拌在一起作为馅料，包裹进面皮中。

形状类似饺子，但比饺子更精致，丰富的馅料又让它比馄饨更丰满。扁食一般现做现吃，水煮、清蒸、油煎，吃法多种多样，记住一定要趁热吃，那样才够香！

Mainly made of flour， bianshi dumpling is finer than ordinary dumpling， and fuller stuffed than wonton. It is a traditional food for Dragon Boat Festival in some parts of Tiantai.

This is how you make it： prepare a flour dough， chop it into small squares， and use a rolling pin to roll out each square into a thin-skinned， palm-sized disc; put the filling—a well-stirred mixture of cooked radish， dried bamboo shoots， lean meat—into the middle of a disc; fold it and seal its edges.

After it is properly made， it could be cooked in different ways， such as boiling， steaming， and pan-frying. Just member： freshly made and cooked bianshi dumpling is the best， so dig in while it is hot.

糊拉汰

Hulatai Pancake

在天臺的早晨，一张糊拉汰是对早餐起码的尊重。这是天台最正宗的小吃之一，以麦粉为原料，调成稀薄而不失其黏性的糊状，用手把它放在锅子里摊拉成圆形的薄饼，上面可以放各种馅，比如土豆丝、芥菜、豆芽、茄子、南瓜丝、鸡蛋、菜干、豆腐等，菜的添加全凭个人口味决定，一次一个，不到一分钟就熟，制作方便，香脆可口。……
