Shandong cuisine still has its own characteristics.
The most famous stewed vegetables are mainly from Yantai and Jinan, Shandong. Jinan’s representative is roast duck and large intestine, while Yantai’s focuses on seafood. In addition to Chunhua, many other restaurants in the Eighth Building in Old Beijing are Shandong Shandong cuisine restaurants. Although the Eighth Building is relatively backward now. But there are still many braised food restaurants that are still famous, such as Baorui Siji Changan. Jingya has something else.
In addition, Shandong cuisine is the first of the eight major cuisines. The characteristics of Shandong cuisine are still very obvious, for example, it is the cuisine with the longest history. All cuisines, the four major cuisines, or sigh it, they all appear when they are done. And the dishes are all the oldest and oldest. It is formed spontaneously locally and has not been affected by foreign influences like other cuisines. The reason why the characteristics of Shandong cuisine are not obvious is because now Shandong cuisine is too common and home-cooked. For example, the usual ones include poached eggs and braised prawns. Stir-fried vegetables, these are Shandong cuisine.
Many cuisines include Shandong cuisine, such as Kung Pao Chicken. Do you think it is Sichuan style pot-roasted pork, but do you think it is Northeastern cuisine? Shredded pork with Beijing sauce is a Beijing dish, but they are both Shandong cuisine. Northeastern Guobao Pork, because its tomato juice borrows from the sweet and sour pork loin in Shandong cuisine, it has the flavor of Shandong cuisine. There are also shredded pork with Beijing sauce and Peking duck. When we people from Shandong went to Beijing to work, we loved to eat pancakes rolled with green onions. Aren't these very similar to the recipe of Beijing roast duck with shredded pork in Beijing sauce? Therefore, many dishes include Shandong cuisine and come from Shandong cuisine.
Many people feel this way when they hear the names of these dishes. This is not a big meal, they are all home-cooked dishes, but these home-cooked dishes were summed up bit by bit by our ancestors who were cooking in the Eighth Building in Beijing at that time. What is the eighth building? That's a very famous restaurant in Peiping. The chefs they hired at that time were all from Shandong, and Shandong cuisine was a huge feature there. The main reason why the characteristics of Shandong cuisine are not obvious. He is very low-key and blends in with other cuisines, but he doesn't like to stand out. The scope of Shandong cuisine is very large, and it seems that a person's tolerance is also very large. So it’s not that Shandong cuisine has lost its characteristics, but that it has been integrated into many cuisines. It contains a lot and incorporates a lot.
