Why are you soaking in salt water? Because there is an enzyme in pineapple, if eaten directly, it will cause allergic reaction, and salt can destroy this enzyme and avoid allergic reaction. In addition, pineapple soaked in salt water will make you feel sweeter, similar to fried beets. Adding some salt will highlight the sweetness.
Because pineapple itself has a sour and sweet taste, people also like to peel and cut pineapple into pieces to make pineapple fried duck or pineapple fried beef with duck or beef. Sweet and sour pork, or sweet and sour fresh squid, which often appears at Cantonese banquets, also likes to add pineapple to taste. These dishes are sweet and sour, the most appetizing, the most suitable for summer consumption, and also the children's favorite.
Northeasters also have a soft spot for sweet and sour dishes, which is probably the result of being closer to Russia. People here don't reject western food, so they accept sweet and sour dishes there. There is also pineapple goo goo meat, which is very similar to the famous northeast dish Guo Bao meat. The taste is sweet and sour. It just smells like ripe fruit ~
Pineapple goo goo meat: I like the taste of pineapple goo meat, with more pineapple flavor in the middle, which is also my personal preference. Because of this preference, the practice of pineapple goo goo meat has also changed according to its own taste. Let the whole dish have a strong pineapple flavor.
As for how I like to eat, it's entirely according to my personal preference. I'm from western Guangdong. I like peeling pineapple, washing it with salt water, and then sprinkling Chili powder on it.
