I have always named this dish that my mother likes to cook as a pot of lazy dishes. Until one day, a friend from Northeast China took me to eat an authentic Northeast dish. I actually tasted the familiar taste, and I suddenly realized that this practice was called "Northeast stew". I have to say, this northeast stew tastes quite good.
Among all kinds of stews in Northeast China, there are eight dishes, which are widely known after folk selection, and are also known as the "eight kings" in Northeast stews. Today, Lazy Meow will talk to you about Northeast stew. Let's have a look. What are these eight courses? How much did you eat?
The most famous stew in Northeast China must be stewed mushrooms with chicken. This is a very classic northeast dish. The main ingredients are chicken, mushrooms and vermicelli. In the northeast, there is also a saying that "when an uncle enters the door, the chicken dies". That is, the new uncle will accompany his daughter-in-law back to her mother's house, and the dish of stewed chicken with mushrooms must be arranged at home.
Authentic chicken stewed with mushrooms, the mushrooms used are also very particular, it must be hazelnuts in the northeast. Hazelnut mushrooms are mainly distributed in mountainous areas, forest areas and hazel hills of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. They are rich in meat and rich in fragrance, and are also called "the fourth treasure in Northeast China". Stew mushrooms with slow fire. The umami flavor of mushrooms is mixed with the flavor of chicken. As long as you smell it, you will feel your appetite greatly increased.
To talk about the most grounded northeast stew, pork stewed vermicelli is definitely indispensable, and it is also one of the classic northeast dishes. In fact, this dish originated in Sichuan and was brought to the northeast by the famous Xue in the Tang Dynasty, and developed into a northeast dish according to the local style.
When making pork stewed vermicelli, there are two essential ingredients, pork belly and sweet potato vermicelli. In addition, you can add more ingredients according to your own taste, such as cabbage, sauerkraut, tofu, radish and so on. The cabbage stew is soft and delicious, and the vermicelli also absorbs the soup, which is very tasty and is a very delicious next meal.
I still remember a friend in the northeast once teased me about "sauerkraut in iron pot, sauerkraut stew everything". The sauerkraut here refers to the northeast sauerkraut pickled with Chinese cabbage. After pickled and fermented, Chinese cabbage will produce a lot of lactic acid, which is very appetizing to eat.
Mutton stew with sauerkraut is a very popular northeast stew in winter. The sauerkraut used in it is authentic northeast sauerkraut. On the one hand, sauerkraut can open people's taste buds, on the other hand, it can remove the smell of mutton and the meat is not so greasy. It's cold. It's really a cure to have a steaming pot of stewed mutton with sauerkraut.
It seems that many places have this stewed beef and potatoes, and this dish is naturally indispensable in the northeast dishes famous for stewed meat. The main ingredients used in this dish are beef and potatoes. It is best to choose beef with some fat and gluten, such as beef brisket and beef tendon. One pot has vegetables and meat, potatoes are rich in starch, and can also be used as staple food, which can be said to be a typical representative of one pot cooking.
Beef contains a lot of blood, so it should be soaked in salt water before cooking and washed several times to remove the blood from the meat. This way, beef will not have obvious fishy smell. In the process of beef stew, a small amount of hawthorn and black tea bags can be added to make the beef stew soft and rotten. The beef stew is tender and smooth, and the potato flour is waxy, which is really irresistible.
Stewed beans with ribs is also a classic northeast dish. The main ingredients used are ribs and beans. Although this dish sounds simple at first glance, there are many doorways to do it. If you want to make authentic stewed beans with northeast ribs, you must use northeast beans, which are more tender in taste. Pork ribs should also add some fat.
Put the oil in the pan, add the onion, ginger and garlic until fragrant, add the sugar and soy sauce, first pour the ribs and stir-fry until the ribs are poured out, and then pour the boiling hot water. When the water is turned on again, add the beans, add the right amount of seasoning, and simmer slowly. Stewed ribs are delicious, beans are chewy, and they are also an artifact of cooking.
I don't know if you have heard such a folk proverb, "Squid stewed eggplant will kill the old man". It describes the delicacy of this dish to the greatest extent. Braised eggplant with catfish is also a famous dish in Northeast China. The main ingredients used are fresh catfish and eggplant. Catfish and eggplant are also excellent combinations.
Stew catfish for 15 minutes, then add fried eggplant and stew until the eggplant is soft. After the eggplant is fried, it is easier to absorb the soup stewed by catfish, so that the eggplant can also taste fishy. Under the neutralization of eggplant, catfish will be fat but not greasy, which is not only a meal, but also a good appetizer.
Desmolly stewed fish, as its name implies, is a stew with fish as the main ingredient. The name "Demoli" in the dish is actually a Russian transliteration, which refers to the village of Demoli near Songhua River in Heilongjiang Province. The villagers in this village mainly make a living by fishing, and Molly stew is also derived from here.
Desmolly stewed fish must be fresh fish, mostly grass carp or carp. In the choice of accessories, brine tofu and vermicelli are essential. Stew live fish, tofu and vermicelli together. This dish is delicious, with the taste of fish and special sauce. It's delicious.
Next, the eighth northeast stew is the famous pig-killing dish. Pig-killing dish, as its name implies, is a stew eaten when killing pigs. In the past, in the rural areas of Northeast China, when pigs were killed near the end of the year, pig-killing dishes were prepared for relatives and friends who came to help. Over time, it has become a major feature of the Northeast diet.
Authentic pig-killing dishes are actually the general name of stews made up of various dishes. Usually, all parts of pigs are made into dishes, such as pig bones, pig heads, pork belly, pig blood sausage and so on. Stewed with sauerkraut, so there is also a saying that "a whole set of pigs goes into the water".
Learn from laziness.
The eight dishes mentioned above, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stewed pork with vermicelli, stewed mutton with sauerkraut, stewed beef with potatoes, stewed pork ribs with beans, stewed catfish with eggplant, stewed fish with Demery and killed pork, are all very classic northeast dishes, and they are also well-known northeast stews among the people after selection.
If you ask me, there are two obvious characteristics of northeast stew: large quantity and eating. If you go to a restaurant specializing in Northeast cuisine, you will find that the dishes served are all full, and they are all hard dishes, which are very fragrant with the main course.
