Shandong cuisine is exquisite in material selection, meticulous in knife work, comprehensive in technique, mild in seasoning, various in dishes and rigorous in cooking, emphasizing freshness, fragrance, crispness and tenderness. Popular dishes often highlight the sauce flavor of onion and garlic, and their flavor is a perfect match with all aspects of pasta, so they are widely popular in areas where pasta is the staple food in China. High-grade dishes are inseparable from milk soup, clear soup, high-quality ingredients and excellent cooking skills. They are generous and simple, upright, delicious and beautiful, and have Confucian drinking style; Grand banquet, pay attention to etiquette.
There are three most important periods in the history of Shandong cuisine: 2,511 years ago, Confucian sages laid the fine aesthetic orientation of China's diet and the seasoning philosophy of harmonious five flavors; "Steaming, boiling, roasting, brewing, frying, frying, boiling, cooking, frying, wax, salt, black bean, vinegar, sauce, wine, honey and pepper" in Qi Min Yao Shu laid the framework of Chinese cooking techniques.
