northeast cuisine, is one of the four famous stews? Killing pig dishes counts as one? Russian food counts as one? Aquatic products count as one? Think about it a lot. If you really want to be specific, you may have to find an expert in catering. Let's just say it roughly.
Why should it be explained by experts? First of all, the dishes in the hearts of the four famous stewed places in Northeast China are not the same. I'm from Harbin, so let's talk about Harbin. In Harbin, stew, chicken stewed mushrooms and pork stewed vermicelli, two so-called top dishes in the Northeast stew list, are really not the first choice for Harbin people. Everyone seems to prefer pork ribs stewed with beans! Moreover, it is not necessary to divide the four stews. I feel that in Harbin, stews are almost all-encompassing. As long as you like to eat, everything can be stewed!
Let's talk about pig-killing dishes. Other dishes are not unique to the northeast, and there are also pig-killing dishes in the south. Like white meat and shredded meat, it is also found in the killing pigs in the south. I have eaten it in Yunnan and it tastes quite good! Think about it, the reason why the northeast pig-killing dish is called a feature is that the addition of northeast sauerkraut is indispensable. In the northeast, if someone orders a pig-killing dish, everything is stewed, except sauerkraut! Would you like to try the guest's impatience with you? How dare this be called killing pig dishes!
Needless to say, Russian cuisine is well known. Sausage, Russian bread, Russian western food ... Organic, you can come to Harbin to try Russian western food, which is really different from the western food you often eat.
The aquatic products in Northeast China are actually quite rich. Take Harbin as an example, there are quite a lot of freshwater aquatic products produced in Songhua River and Heilongjiang. To be honest, they are getting younger recently. When I was a child, I went to Songhua River to catch shrimp, and all of them were caught in a lunch box (the old-fashioned large aluminum lunch box). I can catch it now, but it's too little. It's pitiful ... I'd better let it go.
