Manchu is a treasure. Manchu people like to eat sticky things, because sticky things are hungry and convenient for hunting. Among them, the most distinctive is all kinds of snacks with exquisite production and unique flavor, which are collectively called "Manchu treasures", so it is called "Manchu banquet". Manchu Bobo has a long history, among which the most representative is "chestnut-faced Wowotou", also known as Xiaowotou.

Before the Manchu entered the customs, there was a banquet called "Bobo banquet", each table used 80 kilograms of flour, which showed the scale. Most of the flour used is sticky, that is, glutinous rice, yellow rice and small yellow rice are the main ingredients, with a proper amount of other rice residues, and then red bean paste, nuts and sugar are used as stuffing. The main varieties are Shaqima, Mung Bean Cake, Suye Cake, Pea Yellow Cake, Beef Tongue Cake, Beating Cake, Fried Cake, Bean Bag, etc. Every winter, Manchu people usually cook a few pots of bean paste buns and take them with them when they are frozen. Now you can often hear the cry of sticky bean buns in the winter market in Shenyang.

Dishes. Manchu people especially like to eat pork and sauerkraut, and there are many cooking methods. The more distinctive dishes are meat ceremony, white meat, sauerkraut and blood sausage, hot pot, sour soup and so on.

In case of festive events or sacrifices, a meat-eating ceremony should be held. There are eight people at a table. At dinner, the host will serve a piece of pork and gravy. Instead of chopsticks, the guests cut the meat into pieces or slices with their own knives, dipped it in gravy and drank it in turn, which was very generous.

White meat and blood sausage is a main course for Manchu people to entertain relatives and friends. Pork belly, cut into thin slices, put it in the pot with finely cut sauerkraut at the same time, then put it in the pot, boil it and cut it into small pieces. This dish is fragrant but not greasy and has high nutritional value. Now that restaurant in Shenyang is full of white meat and blood sausage, and its flavor is unparalleled, which is very popular with consumers.

Hot pot is the most typical Manchu diet. This diet is closely related to the hunting lifestyle of Manchu people in those days. Therefore, whether it is the original Manchu hot pot or the modern hot pot that can be seen everywhere in China today, people will think of "crackling" forest bonfires and "creaking" small hanging pots. It can be said that Manchu hot pot is the ancestor of hot pot that is popular all over the country now. In addition to chrysanthemum hotpot, there are also famous assorted hotpot and three fresh hotpot.

Sour soup is a traditional Manchu food. After the new grain matures in autumn, almost every family in the countryside soaks sour soup. Put the whole freshly beaten corn in a jar for soaking and fermentation, then rinse it with clear water to remove the sour taste, grind it into water, filter it to remove the residue and peel, and it becomes noodle soup. When eating, boil the water in the pot, put the special soup cover on the thumb of the left hand, hold a mass of noodle soup in the left hand, squeeze it with the right hand, put the squeezed soup strips directly in the pot, take them out, and mix them with seasonings such as meat sauce, egg sauce or chopped green onion sauce to eat.
