Enema is one of Beijing people's favorite snacks, and its origin has a long history. As early as the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there were poems such as "oil-liver-fragrant enema", "red powder enema will be fried later, and spicy garlic and salty sauce will be delicious" in Chronicle of Meditation and "Unique Bamboo Skills" during the reign of Qing Qianlong.
Fifty years ago, Fengnian Store specializes in Beijing-style enema in Longfusi Street. From raw materials, cooking and small seasonings, it has been pursuing its traditional taste. The main ingredient is sweet and flat sweet potato starch, which is steamed, cooled, cut into rhombic slices and fried in a pan. The garlic juice poured by enema has always been pounded with garlic paste in a traditional stone mortar, and the enema with tender outside and salty garlic juice has a unique flavor. Praised by old Beijingers, this is the authentic Beijing-style enema. Beijing-style "doornail patties" are also added in the store, which are also very popular. In addition, raw enema is retail here. When eating, cut it into small pieces, fry it in oil and pour some salted garlic juice on it.
