● supermarket Pixian bean paste, are authentic products. But to strict quality and quality, and are not said to be authentic. From five aspects of the reason:
First, what is PI County bean paste. Bean paste is the most commonly used seasoning sauce in Sichuan cuisine, with broad beans and chili artificial fermentation and sun-made. Because of the unique color and flavor and become a culinary must seasoning, known as the soul of Sichuan cuisine. Produced in PI Du District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, the last day of 2015 was approved by the State General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine as China's geographical indications products, the production process is included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Second, PI County bean paste how to come. This is a true story. Said the Qing Dynasty during the Xianfeng years, PI County, a craftsman called Chen Shouxin, in the traditional production of chili sauce on the basis of, compared to soybean paste tanning method, adding a steamed wrapped fermented broad beans together with the tanning, out of the sauce and the crowd is very different, extraordinarily fragrant, red color, used to do dishes, self-contained flavor, the formation of the most fundamental characteristics of Sichuan cuisine.
Third, the development of PI County bean paste. PI County bean paste was born, soon became the local brand, more than three hundred years to experience there are three major stages of development. The first stage of the inventor-based market competition, the Chen family persevered and grew; the second stage is the Republican period of the government, the army and the market force, the product is widely spread, the output has reached more than 400,000 pounds in the forties; the third stage is the liberation of the public-private partnership, and has become a real industrialized products.
Fourth, the market performance of Pixian bean paste. And other local brand-name products, Xinyang tea, Wu Chang rice, Fuling mustard, a product, multiple manufacturers, countless brands. Pixian bean paste at the moment there are hundreds of brands, the annual output of millions of tons, tens of thousands of employees. The scale is large, the product is inevitably uneven, many of the brand, the more stable two brands, one is the old Juan City brand, one is Dandan brand. The good thing is that the other brands, the overall shoddy not seen.
Fifth, which brand is authentic. Existing hundreds of brands, Juan City brand and Dandan brand reputation is the best, but, on the contrary, is not authentic, the real authentic is the family's own sun-made sauce. Go to their homes will know, PI County bean paste production technology is really called a carefully modulated, generally after a year, up to three years to be made. Family out of the bean paste eat really memorable.
Pixian bean paste is in the Chinese food in many seasonings is also outstanding, but also "the soul of the Sichuan cuisine" reputation, many people now taste food to pay attention to a "authentic". I think the traditional crafts, products even in the cultural reservation should be valued, but the diet is the need to progress with the times, traditional culture of course, can not be lost, but a stick to the old ways is not a good thing, so this is the thing that we still have to be sensible point of view.
If you trace the history of Pixian bean paste, you have to mention the Qing Dynasty to create the prototype of bean paste, as well as its continuation, the development of the "Chen family".
Legend has it that the prototype of bean paste was born in the Kangxi years, a Chen clan with sun-dried broad beans with salt and chili peppers mixed together used for dinner, accidentally found that it is quite appetizing and tasty, and this is the original style of bean paste. Later, during the Jiaqing period, the Chen family ran a "Shun Tian number" sauce garden, selling is the Pixian bean paste present - pickled red fine chili peppers.
To the later Xianfeng years Chen family descendants Chen Shouxin in the ancestors of the practice of supreme improvement, in the "Shun Tian" on the basis of the creation of the "Yifeng and" number of the soy sauce garden, Pixian bean paste is officially perfected out. (Here it is necessary to insert two sentences, obviously honored as "PI County Douban ancestor" Chen Shouxin old Mr. is not a stagnant since the seal of the people, if he then followed the ancestor's "authentic" practice, that there is no later PI County Douban sauce.)
Later, after a long period of development, competition, change, etc., there is now Pixian bean paste, so to talk about Pixian bean paste authentic brand, naturally, there are three hundred years of inheritance Yifeng and the number of azalea produced by the city bean paste. In fact, this is relatively uncontroversial "authentic" identified, after all, this is a national intangible cultural heritage, but also more recognized by the people of the real bean paste authentic originator.
For food, healthy diet and food anecdotes interested in friends, you can point a concern and praise support, and later share interesting and useful content!I'm glad to see this question, because I am the authentic Sichuan people, now my parents live in PI County, every time I go home can smell a very strong bean flavor.
The following to say Pixian bean paste. There are many brands of Pixian bean paste on the market, the more famous brand is the azalea city and Dandan.
PI County bean has a spicy heavy flavor, bright red oil, sweet aftertaste characteristics, is a very favorite flavor of our Sichuan people. Pixian bean paste production technology has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage list, enough to prove that it is the production of skillful and flavorful, and get the people of the country's favorite. However, many people are now red oil bean paste and PI County bean paste mixed up, in fact, the flavor of the two different, the former production is not as complicated as the latter. Authentic Pixian bean paste need to go through a process of turning, sun, dew, and to spend at least a year or more to do out, if the craft is not fine people, in the first three processes can easily cause the deterioration of the bean paste, only in the hands of some people proficient in the production process, in order to maximize the flavor of the bean paste to play.
Again, how to pick the bean paste. When picking bean paste at the supermarket, I suggest that the subject just buy the Azalea City brand and the Dandan brand that I mentioned above. When picking the bean paste, try to pick the ones that are darker in color, without the red oil, because the deeper the color, the longer the drying time of the bean paste, the more unique the flavor. And now the price of bean paste is also distinguished by the age of the bean paste, and white wine is the same. 3 years or more can be counted as special grade bean paste, the overall dark reddish-brown, the amount of oil has a glossy, sauce ester aroma is the most intense. It is because of the production of a longer time, so also called the old doudoune moncler, relatively speaking doudoune moncler, the taste is more mellow, so the price is more expensive. 3-6 months are generally red oil doudoune moncler, the color is red, slightly oily gloss, cooking easy to color. But the taste is not very rich, so many pursuit of taste, while the pursuit of color diners and chefs, is the old bean paste and red oil bean paste mixed use, so that the dishes can be made out of both color and flavor shape.
Which brand of Pixian Douban is authentic.
I as a bean edible lovers and bean users, I come to share with you *** with the authenticity of the bean and the story of the bean.
Douban. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world. The industry called the red bean office and black bean office points, because the red bean office for the yin doudou, black doudou for the yang doudou. The production of yin doudou is not to use the sun, but the shade made. The year for, the year to eat, some places have to add spices and vegetable oil together with the production. Yang Douban is familiar PI County Douban, he is with the Chengdu plains produced by the two fine strips of chili pepper by the sun fermentation and general fermentation period of more than two years, the color and lustre of the black and red shiny, fragrant and pleasant. It is one of the most important seasonings in Sichuan cuisine without the second seasoning. Known as the soul of Sichuan cuisine of the beautiful name. So bean office in the market brand is too much of a mixed bag. Good bean office is not much, called the phoenix feather. PI County bean brand is too much, we are more optimistic about is the Juan City brand bean, but the underground factory is more, the most authentic is the PI County Bean Institute PI County Bean General Factory of Juan City brand bean.
I stayed in Chengdu for a few years, like Sichuan cuisine, like the soul of Sichuan cuisine - PI County bean.
Your own home cooking, but also like to add PI County Douban do seasoning. However, at present, Pixian bean brand is too much, the quality of good and bad, buy bad, fried vegetables used, only salty, no flavor.
In Xi'an supermarket market, the brand Pixian douban is also a lot. I have used the brand, should not be less than 10.
According to my use of the pro-measurement, good quality, aroma, salty and spicy appropriate brand, preferred azalea city brand, followed by Dandan brand. Therefore, the authentic Pixian bean paste, should be azucheng brand.
Other brands, most of the oil is less, more salt, no flavor, or impurities inside.
Dandan brand and azalea city brand bean office in the end which is authentic, confused!
I ate in the seventies called Linjiang Temple brand bean office sauce, very good flavor, think of drooling!
Which is not as good as our own, we do our own open the jar on the aroma of the nose, I came to the Spring Festival in Yancheng, but also special randomly brought a small jar of home pickled bean paste to eat, because outside the sale of really no one has a sister pickled delicious, not at all exaggerated.
I hope that the practitioners of PI County bean office can create the kind of bean office in the fifties, both the flavor of bean office, but not too salty bean office to. Now the bean office is too salty (including azalea city) dare not put. Good bean curd, even if a little more expensive will be popular. I miss the yuan red bean office!
Hello everyone, I am spatula Jushi - Tang Chun, I am a senior technician in Chinese cooking, the first generation of disciples of the Shi school of Sichuan cuisine, the first generation of disciples of the Chinese Imperial Cuisine (Tangmen Li school).
I started to study under the master of Sichuan cuisine - Shi Zhengliang in 2010, and my master's first lesson is still fresh in my mind: "It is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice, and it is difficult for a skillful chef to cook without ingredients", so my master's earliest teaching was not the culinary Therefore, the first thing that Master taught me was not cooking skills, but to recognize the various ingredients and seasonings of Sichuan cuisine. In these condiments, the top priority is the four flavors of Sichuan cuisine soul: Pixian Douban, in the dam soy sauce, hair mold tempeh and Pauling vinegar. Especially Pixian bean, the master took us a few on the Pixian cognitive, learning, so I have a deeper understanding of Pixian bean.
For this reason, I came to answer this question, I hope you can achieve the purpose of solving the puzzle.
I first affirmed: I am standing in a neutral point of view to introduce you to Pixian Douban, in no way intended to praise or criticize any enterprise, I am only responsible for the authenticity of this article.
To answer this question, first of all, to understand: what is PI County Douban? This subject is very large, so the length of some long, impatient pro can look directly at the bold text.
Let's start with its history.
PI County bean in the reform and opening up before the history of Baidu can be found, not to repeat here. In this regard, I will go straight to the point: if the brand to the point, the most authentic PI County bean paste is only two: Benefit from the rich and the number (azalea city) and Shaofeng and the number, because only these two is the root of the orthodox heritage of the seedling red. However, these two companies are not enough to represent PI county bean. Because, the main event has not yet begun to play it.
After the founding of New China, Yifeng and Yuanfeng source of two major soy sauce garden in response to the company's joint venture, the two merged to set up a state-run bean paste factory, the trademark began to use the "Yifeng and the number of" and "azalea city" (azalea city is an alias of PI County); and "PI County Douban" trademark is nationalized, attributed to the PI County Government.
PI County Government in order to encourage economic development, but also in order to PI County more specialties to promote out, take as long as "to join" PI County Bean Industry Association can use the "PI County bean" trademark; in order to standardize the entire industry, but also applied for the PI County Douban national standards, do not meet the national standards for enterprises, resolutely banned the use of "PI County Douban" trademark, and no longer issued food production licenses.
So, now there is a "PI county bean" trademark is the implementation of national standards, from this level, you buy whichever brand of PI county bean is authentic PI county bean. However, I want to remind you of ghosts all the time. You have to beware of "Dan County bean", "PI County flavor bean", "PI County made bean".
Said here, you are not feeling very disappointed, is not that I said a whole lot, with no say the same? Rest assured, because the next is the focus, we start with a dish.
In addition to the Republic of China's treats, Pixian Douban's popularity is because of a dish - back to the meat.
In the past, is a long, long time ago, fried back to the meat seasoning only put PI County bean paste, PI County bean paste because of the sauce is rich, made a great contribution to the Sichuan cuisine, which is known as the "soul of Sichuan cuisine. At that time, PI County bean really so fragrant? Let's look at the former Pixian Douban with what to do back to the meat only put him?
First of all, the raw materials: PI County bean is very simple, broad beans, chili peppers and salt. Industry commonly known as "petals" and "sea pepper". PI County soybean sauce aroma, first of all, from the fermentation of fava beans. Here to say a professional term called "yin petal child", to put it bluntly is the natural fermentation of the petal, fermentation cycle is 4-6 months. The fermented yinpaozi is black in color, and the seeds are fully saccharified and have a sweet taste of sugar. And then the fermented mature petals and chili pepper mix, note that the chili pepper can only be "Sichuan two thorny".
Two thorns originally known as two gold bars, according to legend, two gold bars in exchange for an acre of chili pepper and the name, Zhu Geliang in Shuangliu County, Shepherd's Hill planted, and became one of the three major financial revenues of the Northern Expedition of Shu (not allowed to question the chili pepper is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty introduced to China). But I'm sorry to tell you that nowadays, the purebred Sichuan Erjingtiao is almost exported to Japan and Korea, and the Chinese people are almost unable to enjoy it. No need to be righteously indignant; if you were asked to shell out $20 for a pound of chili, you'd be cursing.
Er Jingzhi did not, Yin Petal Zi's cycle is too long, the financial pressure is too great, and fewer companies make it. From this point of view, you now buy all the Pixian douban are not strictly Pixian douban. This news is not make people feel very sorry? In fact, there is no relationship, because the authentic back to the meat of the pig is also almost extinct, but back to the meat of the same we eat up to go, PI County Douban the same so.
Since Pixian douban is not the first Pixian douban, then why has been so popular? And, his demand is growing? Now the PI County bean is popular because he has not been PI County bean (is not the feeling of listening to talk shows?). . But it is true, it has to say to the PI County bean process:
PI County bean is called PI County bean, not because he was born in PI County, but because of his processing technology to create his uniqueness, like the "Diamond Sutra", "the Buddha said that Prajna Mie, that is, non-Prajna Mie, is the name of the Prajna Mie".
PI County bean curd process is very simple, chili pepper plus salt broken fermentation, plus fermented flaps stirred evenly into the jar, as long as it does not rain, the bean curd open to meet the sun and dew, every morning and evening each stirring, which is the PI County bean curd of the three-word trick "turn, sun, dew". Years of sun and night dew cast PI county bean paste heirloom sauce. But regrettably, we now buy the basic are not brewing sun out of Pixian bean, not the production of black hearted enterprises, but the demand has changed radically.
With the demand of the catering market, people found that the sauce can be replaced, tempeh, soy sauce, sweet noodle sauce can be replaced. Moreover, Pixian Douban (here refers to the traditional brewing and tanning process) has an Achilles' heel, that is, cooking black. In order to make up for his defects in color, chefs will use it with red sauce (also known as the original red bean paste), until the emergence of red oil bean paste changed the status quo.
Yes, it is this common in the market, plastic bottles, in Pixian Douban four words above two inconspicuous words - red oil.
Red oil bean by the "Wang Feng" created, he fundamentally to PI County bean leather life. Wang Feng is definitely a colorful person, all factors detrimental to the color are removed: Yin petals black, changed to baked petals (greenhouse rapid fermentation); Sichuan pepper color is not bright red, changed to Xinjiang, Gansu pepper; brewing sun will make the finished product dark, almost no sun ...... Anyway, it is a purpose --- excellent. -excellent.
As a result of the changes with the market demand, Wang Feng in the industry surged, quickly among the top three in the industry. Thus, the entire industry followed suit, and now red oil bean paste accounts for at least 80% of the entire bean paste industry in PI County, the traditional craft almost disappeared.
Pixian two leading enterprises, azalea city (state-owned enterprises) and Dandan (the largest sales) two enterprises also followed, produced red oil bean paste to cater to the market, just they think: Pixian bean paste is the root of the soy sauce, despite the red oil bean paste, or should be with a certain amount of soy sauce, followers of the crowd.
Thus, PI County bean divided into two camps: Ande gang (Azalea City, Dandan on behalf of the plant site in Ande Town, PI County, the product to the aroma of the main) and Baima gang (Wang Feng, Hengxing on behalf of the color of the product to the main, the plant in PI County, the village of Baima).
From this conclusion: you if you buy good color red oil bean paste, preferred Wang Feng and Hengxing, you if you buy good aroma of red oil bean paste, preferred Cuckoo City and Dandan.
See here, you may want to ask, you can still buy the kind of soy sauce flavorful PI County bean paste? Can!
The reason for the prevalence of red oil douban is actually the prevalence of the new school of Sichuan cuisine and Jianghu cuisine. But in recent years, people have begun to regain the tradition, the culinary world and re-voiced: the root of the Sichuan cuisine is flavor, the other are floating clouds. Should the market demand, there are now a few enterprises began to authentic Pixian bean paste production process. Although there is no purebred Sichuan two thorns, two thorns are still there.
How to identify the authentic Pixian douban (this may be the pro really want to ask the question), after all, certainly not cheap?
Teach you a trick of our Shipai Sichuan food passed on to men and women's know-how: First, look at the name in the end is "red oil Pixian bean" or "Pixian bean"; Second, look at the ingredients list, if there are preservatives, regardless of what brand is not authentic! "PI County bean", because "PI County bean" is not required to preserve. Third, PI County bean paste after a long time of fermentation and brewing sun will be saccharification, smell him with a return to the sweet taste.
