In fact, there is no shortage of special food in Henan. In addition to the well-known Henan mutton Huimian Noodles, Dahe Carp Baked Noodles, Luoyang Water Mat, Daokou Roast Chicken, Carp Sanchi, Fried Eggs, etc., there are also many special snacks, such as the opened soup buns, the sticky soup in Xiaoyao Town, Zhengzhou Longxu Cake and Bowang Guokui. Looking at Guangdong, Huaiyang, Fujian, Zhejiang and other cuisines, all of them are based on strong funds behind them. Under the premise of economic growth, frequent customer exchanges have also spawned inheritance and innovation in diet, and finally produced unique cuisines. Henan is located in the middle of the world, so the culture and art from the south to the north will harm it. In addition, the complexity of Henan since modern times has made the taste of Henan's meals have no characteristics, which can be described as moderate, sweet, salty and spicy, not biased, mixed with five flavors and moderate in quality and taste.
unlike Sichuan cuisine, it dominates the world with one spicy flavor. In the early days, the definition of Henan cuisine was actually Henan taste. In the early days, the chefs of Henan cuisine mostly originated from Changyuan and Fengqiu. At the beginning, it was a gathering and opening. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many shadows of Henan cuisine in business hotels and canteens of central units such as the Yellow Crane Tower and the General Logistics Department. But they didn't seem to carry forward Henan cuisine. On the contrary, it is Anhui cuisine, and Huaiyang's latecomers come from behind. Some people say that Henan is full of noodles and special snacks, and there is no special food. Funny means that there are very few pure Henan dishes, and Xiaobian hours is honored to taste them, including Xiaobian's married ones. At that time, although it was not necessary to say first-class, at least they were all medium-sized ones. Henan Province is located in the Central Plains, facing the war, warlord separatist regime, big river flood disaster, people's livelihood projects smeared with charcoal, Fujia moved to the north, and literati moved to the south. Since the Song Dynasty, there has been no peace. People are hungry, clothes are not warm, and they still talk about Lashi!
Hou Ruixuan: Chef of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in 1981s, worked in Beijing Hotel for 28 years before, and was an old subordinate of Master Luo Guorong; He is good at braised abalone and steamed white eel; Su Yongzhou: At the first session of the National People's Congress, the chef of Su Da professionally took on the dried abalone banquet. Later, due to family reasons, he did not stay in Beijing. Instead, he returned to the business hotel of Henan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection as a chef. The home cooking style was: sea cucumber with shrimp and dried abalone with white sauce; Naturally, it doesn't mean that there was no home-cooked stir-fry with the characteristics of all parts of the country before the 1981s. Of course, there were some, but according to the old tradition, this kind of home-cooked stir-fry was generally not served.
The reasons for the decline of Henan cuisine are related to the social and economic development of Henan in recent twenty or thirty years. To produce cuisines, there must be a series of local cuisines, and there must be prosperity of big cities and commercial services. Although Henan is making great strides, the prosperity of big cities and commercial services is behind the other eight cuisines. Naturally, this is not an important and critical reason. Cooking is just like doing things for people. You can't discard individuality. You need to have unique characteristics and characteristics, develop in maintaining individuality, and innovate independently in maintaining individuality. Only in this way can this dish be energetic, attractive, remembered, accepted and loved.
