On the streets of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, a dish that looks like human hair is very popular. The main ingredient of the dish is Fa Cai (fairy hair grass), a type of hair grass used by Chinese people as a vegetable. This is a popular lucky dish during New Year's Eve because in Cantonese, its pronunciation is similar to the phrase "get rich suddenly".
The dish eaten on New Year's Eve has now become a popular street snack in China. The visual effect of biting into a piece of fried hair as if eating hair quickly attracted the attention of Chinese diners.
Fa Cai usually grows in arid desert areas such as Gansu, Shaanxi, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. After harvesting, people will dry it before processing. Because of its small, dark fibrous shape, when dried, Fa Cai looks like hair. Usually, people often cook it with broth and eat it like soup.
In addition to deep-frying, street chefs also grill the seaweed on charcoal grills and sprinkle a layer of chili powder before serving customers.
Grilled salt and chili pepper "hair" or deep fried "hair" is a new dish appearing in the list of strange street foods of China. Previously, this country has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign tourists with "unique" dishes such as grilled salt and chili pepper stone, coffee sprinkled with green onions.
