Beijingers divide vegetables in the vegetable market into coarse vegetables and fine vegetables. The so-called coarse grain vegetables are road vegetables that can be stored for a long time in winter, such as Chinese cabbage, potatoes and radishes. On the contrary, leafy vegetables and fruits that are delicate and intolerant to storage in summer are called fine vegetables. Bitter gourd is a good dish.
Other versions of dishes
Four cold cuts (cold cuts): formerly known as "four dining tables", they are specially used to serve wine to guests. If a table of guests invited by the host can drink, this kind of banquet is mainly based on drinking. At that time, in order to match the wine, most of them were four cold meats and turned into eight cold meats. I remember there used to be one in Beijing, whose cook was exquisite and could cook a hundred kinds of cold meat!
Four spicy stir-fry: The ingredients of four spicy stir-fry are mostly fresh, and the dishes are made according to spring, summer, autumn and winter. Four, cooking can be done in double, such as fried shrimp, red and white shrimp, Korean shrimp, green fried bean sprouts and so on. These are all dishes that can go with wine.
Four stew bowls: such as stewed belly strips and stewed duck liver belong to four stew bowls. Northern cuisine pays attention to thickening, and the four stews are mostly thickened with white powder juice, and there is a little soup in the dish. In this way, after eating four cold dishes and four hot fried dishes, some dishes with soup can not only keep warm, but also stimulate appetite.
Main course: After eating four cold dishes, four stir-fried, four stewed bowls and a big dish. The containers of Chinese dishes are mostly sea bowls, which are divided into three types according to the size: the first sea, the middle sea and the sea, and the main dish is sea bowls. If the amount of cold meat and hot stir-fry in front is small, the host will probably go on to serve dishes in the four seas; If the quantity is large, you can have a sea bowl main course at most.
Beets: Beets commonly used in banquets can be divided into six categories.
