Beijing is a place that everyone in China yearns for.
Every time we pass by here, the majesty of the Forbidden City, the majesty of the Great Wall and the vigorous development of the economy let us see the rise and fall of the times and the tolerance of a powerful country in this place.
As a person who has lived in Beijing, there is no need to say anything about the quaint humanities here, but what impressed me more is the food in Beijing.
Beijing cuisine is perfect in taste and technique, and has no specific gourmet taste. The famous dishes here seem to be a collection of classics from all over the world, which makes people feel the inclusiveness of a big country.
Next, I want to introduce six Beijing cuisines to you, which should be very famous local cuisines. However, if you want to travel to Beijing, you might as well order some in ordinary restaurants and let yourself feel the real "temperature" brought by Beijing.
First: the simplicity of vegetarian dishes-chicken with vegetables.
As a classic Beijing dish, most people should know the simplicity of this dish just by looking at its name.
Simple Chinese cabbage wrapped in chicken breast strips, supplemented by special sauce, although different regions will have different practices in this dish, for a kind of food that can enter the homes of ordinary people, different characteristics do show the "atmosphere" of ordinary food.
Second: C's debut shredded pork-shredded pork in Beijing sauce.
Shredded pork, the most common pork processed product in life, may be cooked by many people at home, such as fried shredded pork with green pepper, shredded pork with sauce flavor and so on, but these foods have not reached the height of shredded pork with Beijing sauce.
The reason why shredded pork in Beijing sauce is delicious is mainly because its cooking adopts the "sauce explosion" in the "six explosions" technique unique to the north, supplemented by shredded onion, bean skin and moderate sauce. Although the food is simple, it is unforgettable.
Third: another name for the tenderloin-tomato tenderloin.
When I first learned about this dish, I thought it was a delicacy based on "kidney". I didn't know it was cooked with tenderloin until I ate it.
As a kind of fresh, sour and slightly sweet meat, I believe that if you have children around you, this kind of food is a must-have dish when you go to a restaurant.
Fourth: This crab roe is not crab roe-crab roe tofu.
This kind of delicious salty, unique flavor, delicious taste. The crab yolk here is actually the most common salted egg yolk in life. Because it is a very famous home-cooked dish, the cooking cost should not be too high, so it is more intimate to use duck egg yolk instead of crab yolk.
Compared with its cooking method, the basic operation is to crush the duck egg yolk first, stir-fry it until it bubbles, then pour some warm water, then pour in tofu to stew it thoroughly, and finally season and thicken it out of the pot.
Fifth, the fragrant beauty in the fish pieces-spiced fish pieces.
Fish cooking is very common in life, but in Beijing cuisine, the cooking of fish pieces is extremely fragrant.
Carp-like fish pieces, supplemented by the combination of onion, garlic and aniseed, can then be cooked into their favorite taste according to personal preferences.
The reason why this food is not given a specific taste is just to better blend in with the tastes of ordinary people. After all, home is the place where you know your taste best. How can a dish that doesn't suit your taste appear here? Don't you think so?
Sixth: the sweet and spicy pickled food of Chinese cabbage-mustard mound.
Chinese cabbage can always release incalculable delicacies in Beijing. Compared with mustard pier, it is actually a sauerkraut, but the pickling method is different from ordinary sauerkraut.
It is made of white sugar and mustard as the main raw materials, stacked at intervals, packed in a jar, sprinkled with a little white vinegar and sealed with a lid. Generally, it can be tasted in a few days, but it tastes good.
In fact, there are many classics in Beijing cuisine. These six dishes seem ordinary, but they have local characteristics.
Even if you don't come to Beijing, you can easily reproduce it at home as long as you find some tutorials online. You can feel the full "Beijing flavor" without leaving home. It's cool to think about it, isn't it?
