{{Breadcrumb|parent=Anhui Food}}

'''Anhui street food''' is a collection of local snack traditions rather than one province-wide menu. Markets and snack shops serve wheat noodles and breads in the north, filled rice and wheat pastries around Hefei and Sanhe, city snacks along the Yangtze, and baked specialties in southern Anhui. The provincial food selection records snacks from all 16 cities.<ref name="ah-200-food" /><ref name="ah-four-regions" />

== Wuhu snack shops ==

Wuhu has one of Anhui's most recognizable urban snack repertoires. Local selections include shrimp-roe noodles (虾籽面), Xiaolong soup buns (小笼汤包), radish pastry, fried stinky tofu and red-skin duck. The city's market regulator describes the soup bun through its thin wrapper, tender filling and savory broth; the noodles and buns were also selected among Wuhu's provincial signature foods.<ref name="wuhu-snacks" /><ref name="wuhu-buns" />

Wuhu's wider snack scene includes malatang, steamed rice with pork and red-bean fermented-rice dessert. These foods are sold alongside the city's older noodle and pastry shops.<ref name="wuhu-food" />

== Breads and noodles in northern Anhui ==

Fuyang's Gela tiao (格拉条), Taihe banmian (太和板面) and pillow-shaped bread (枕头馍) are wheat foods with strong local identities. Bozhou adds beef-stuffed flatbread (牛肉馍) and Guoyang dry-tossed noodles (涡阳干扣面); Suzhou is known for Fuliji roast chicken and Xiao County lamb soup. City and county versions differ, so a dish's place name is useful information, not decoration.<ref name="ah-200-food" /><ref name="jinzhai-16" />

== Sanhe and Hefei ==

Sanhe rice dumplings (三河米饺) are filled rice-flour snacks associated with the historic town in Feixi County. Nearby Sanhe shrimp paste (三河虾糊) is a spoonable local food made with small shrimp and rice flour. In Hefei, duck-oil shaobing and Wushan goose add other snack-shop and prepared-food traditions.<ref name="hefei-food" /><ref name="mct-visitor" />

== Baked snacks of southern Anhui ==

Huangshan shaobing (黄山烧饼), also called Huizhou shaobing, is a small crisp pastry often filled with preserved greens and meat and finished with sesame. Local descriptions emphasize the sequence of kneading, filling, shaping and baking. Jixi Ta-guo (绩溪挞粿), from neighboring Xuancheng, is another filled flatbread with local variations.<ref name="huangshan-shaobing" /><ref name="ah-200-food" />

Huangshan and Huizhou are also known for sweet pastries such as sesame candy, frozen-rice candy and small crisp sweets. These bakery foods complement the savory dishes more often used to introduce Hui cuisine.<ref name="huangshan-pastries" />
