The appearance of pot-wrapped meat is a coincidence of history and culture. This sour and sweet taste is also slightly immersed in the story. Zheng Xingwen, the founder of braised pork, was born in a tea family. He has been obsessed with cooking since he was a child. Whenever he meets a favorite dish, he studies it carefully and repeatedly. He was sent to Gongwangfu by his father to learn cooking, and later he studied Huaiyang cuisine from Chen Caibao. The kitchen is also like an art world. Ordinary chefs can only cook, while chefs integrate life and local customs into dishes. In his cooking career for many years, Zheng Xingwen never sticks to the form of food practices, and is good at integrating local culture into the taste of food. His dishes are unique and he is a frequent visitor to major restaurants and dining tables at home.
Zheng Xingwen, who is good at capturing taste demand, has a good grasp of Russian preferences. On one occasion, according to Qilu flavor, he created a famous dish-fried pork strips with coke, which was popular in Beijing. This dish is very novel. I chose lean meat and hung it. After cooking and frying, it is crisp outside and tender inside, salty and delicious, and the surface is golden and shiny. This is a dish that Zheng Xingwen's wife likes very much. She praised its crisp and tender taste, but she was used to the sweet and sour taste of Russia, but she was not used to the salty taste. For the sake of his wife, Zheng Xingwen changed the practice of frying pork strips with cola, cooked them with fire, and replaced the original taste with sweet and sour, completely conquering his wife's taste buds.
At that time, officials in Daotai County often entertained Russian guests, and this improved version of fried pork chops gradually conquered more Russians. Bite down, crisp and long, the novelty is that in addition to color and fragrance, there is a little more sound, "explosion", crisp and loud, naturally, it also has a very vivid name: pot roast meat.
Word spread in one bite, and the sound of "explosion" in Russia was inaccurate. Slowly, the pot-wrapped meat became today's pot-wrapped meat.
