The so-called stew. In fact, there are few vegetables in winter in Northeast China, and people like to put meat together with the vegetables that are most easily preserved in winter, which is a very rough cooking method.

The main ingredients are generally pork, preferably pork belly. Add some cabbage, potatoes, vermicelli and so on. Stew together. The stew is quite delicious. But this is the way to eat in the northeast before.

Now there are all kinds of dishes in the supermarket, and there are few stews at home. Winter is the tourist season here in Harbin, and many tourists from other places will eat the big stew in the northeast when they come here.

In recent days, a lot of small restaurants have been opened in Harbin. Maybe it has something to do with people wanting something hot in winter.

A few days ago, I just ate the stewed fish made in a big iron pot. Actually, it's stewed fish, with many other ingredients added. Such as tofu, vermicelli, cabbage, fungus and so on. Burning firewood in a large iron pot, so stewed together, really has a unique flavor. The house is full of buildings now, and there is no iron pot, let alone firewood. I can't make this smell at home, so I think it's quite attractive for people from the northeast.

Twenty or thirty degrees below zero in winter. In addition to eating some hot pot, that is the northeast stew. Recently, I found that some shops use local chicken as the main ingredient, plus Flammulina velutipes, vermicelli, cabbage, tofu and potatoes. Stewed out a large pot is also very delicious.

Stewed is really stewed. The main ingredients are not so strict, but there is a basic formula. A kind of meat (pork, chicken, fish)+common vegetables or vegetarian food = northeast stew. According to this formula, it is basically the same.
