As we all know, the eight major Chinese cuisines have their own characteristics and are sought after by many people. Although Northeast cuisine is not among the eight major cuisines, there are also many "vermicelli", among which braised pork, chicken stewed mushrooms and other dishes are very delicious. I wonder if my friends have ever eaten authentic northeast food. How do you feel after eating it?
Anyway, Northeast cuisine gives people the impression that every dish is particularly heavy. So, today, let's talk about: Why is Northeast cuisine so heavy? First of all, Bian Xiao thinks this is related to the character of the Northeast people. As we all know, "drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in a big mouth" is a true portrayal of northerners' character, and Northeasters are outstanding. If you want to eat meat, you must eat enough of that dish. There is a famous dish in the northeast called sauce bone, which is made of a big bone that one hand can't hold. Such dishes are served in oversized plates or small pots, and the weight must be very large. Otherwise, how can the heroic northeast men entertain themselves?
And according to the survey, we know that the average height of northerners is higher than that of southerners, and the northeastern people are the largest in the country. This is mainly because the temperature in the northeast is low, and the human body dissipates heat quickly, so it is necessary to maintain the body temperature by eating. So people in the northeast eat more than people in the south. Having said that, you should understand why there are more dishes in the northeast than in the south. Besides, it has a lot to do with the style of food. Winter in the northeast is very cold, and every household used to burn kang. Because of this, they are all cooked in pots, so most famous dishes in Northeast China are stews.
In fact, no matter where you are, the amount of stew will never be less, because stew is the pleasure of eating a big bowl, just like the amount of stew chicken, stew fish or stew tofu is much larger than that of stir-fry. Although there are fewer and fewer people burning kang in the northeast, a lot of stew is reserved. Also, it has a lot to do with the weather. It's hot in the south, and food is not easy to preserve, so I cook it myself, and the weight is naturally small. However, the temperature in the northeast is relatively low, and the food can't be eaten at one time. Even if it is put for two more meals, it won't go bad and you can continue to eat. Therefore, the quantity of northeast food is not a problem, but too much southern food will cause waste. This is also one of the reasons why there is more grain in Northeast China than in South China.
