Harbin, which is called? Ice City Summer Capital? In our city, there is always a steaming hometown flavor waiting for you and me to return when we are tired. Next, I will share Harbin's food culture with you, hoping to help you!
Harbin's dietary cultural habits
Harbin's diet can be divided into Chinese food and western food. Western food is not found in the family dining table of ordinary people, but buying a loaf of bread from a grocery store and eating it hastily in the corner of the street or shopping mall is widely available, and it is also a form of fast food. There are famous Huamei and Mattel western restaurants, which deal in Russian and French dishes. There are many restaurants with Korean flavor and Hui flavor, which belong to Harbin food culture in a broad sense and are beyond the scope of this paper.
Most people in Harbin are descendants of Shandong immigrants, and Shandong people brought Qilu culture, including Shandong cuisine. There are also indigenous Manchu food culture and some Russian food culture. The three food cultures meet and merge, forming a unique Harbin food culture step by step.
hanging paste (stir-fry) is a unique cooking method in Shandong cuisine. Put the cut meat in the mixture of egg white, starch and water, grab it and fry it in the oil pan. Take it out and pour it with the prepared hot sauce, or fry the fried meat in the hot sauce. The more famous dishes are crispy white meat and stir-fried meat. Harbin people use this method to make delicious pot-wrapped meat, which is not found in Shandong cuisine. Ingeniously put vegetables in the oil pan, fry them out, and then fry them. Do you have roasted eggplant and fresh ground? It is also an invention of Harbin people to stir-fry different kinds of vegetables together. There are three fresh vegetables, cabbage (kohlrabi), tomato and pepper. I've seen some people add eggs and cucumbers and fry them together. What's more, meat, vegetables, vermicelli and bean products are stewed together, so-called? Rotten stew? .
Speaking of stew, it was invented by Manchu people. In the early years, Manchu made a living by fishing and hunting, lived in the wild, and moved indefinitely. There was only one kind of cooking utensils, so naturally they had to stew. There are so-called eight stews. Beijing people recognize chicken stewed with mushrooms, and pork ribs stewed with beans are also good. It is also quite good to add thin pork slices, vermicelli and day lily with five flowers and three layers to the potatoes and cabbage. Bairou (blood sausage) is an authentic Manchu dish.
Manchu people are famous for raising pigs and regard fat pork as the best. Cut the cooked pork into thin slices, put it on a plate and eat it with garlic sauce, which is different from the Mongolian steak. To this day, those who have kept the hala (clan)? The Manchu Tun of Mokun (family) system still sacrificed its own meat and blood sausage to its ancestors.
Now Molly stewed live fish and catfish stewed eggplant have been invented. Stew other foods with fish, which often has the flavor of fish.
Subo soup is also a stew, which belongs to Russians. Beef, potatoes, cabbage (kohlrabi) and tomatoes are stewed together. Remove the cabbage and potatoes, that is, stewed persimmon with beef. The above-mentioned frying cabbage with tomatoes is also inspired by Russian food culture. There are also stewed beef with potatoes and pickled cucumbers. Pickled cucumber is an authentic Russian food, which is usually eaten cold. Sauteed shredded pork with pickled cucumber, which is only available in Harbin restaurant in recent years, is a form of bringing Russian cultural factors into China culture.
According to research, the development and prosperity of a culture are rarely caused by internal inventions, and most of them are the result of cultural communication. Two or more cultures intermingle to form a culture, which is often more developed than any of the original ones. The development of Harbin's food culture is regarded as this explanation. As the birthplace of Chinese civilization, Henan and Hebei provinces, why is the food culture so poor? Is the lack of intervention of different cultures.
At present, there are special stew restaurants in Harbin, and there are also pig-killing restaurants mainly engaged in preserved white meat and blood sausage. There is also a coarse grain museum, which features large cakes of salted fish. These earthy things are now in the elegant hall.
There are a few steamed restaurants. Steamed vegetables should come from Shandong, steaming steamed buns and steamed buns. By the way, put the vegetables, oil and salt in a small pot on a steamer. Steam the whole eggplant, tear it into strips and dip it in garlic sauce. Put garlic paste and salt noodles in eggplant to make garlic eggplant, which is a kind of pickles. There are all kinds of pickles in Harbin because of the cold weather.
People in Harbin like to eat vegetables raw, so as to absorb vitamins more fully. Winter is long, and the time to eat local fresh vegetables in a year is too short. There are two main forms, one is cold dishes, such as home-cooked cold dishes, many kinds of fresh vegetables, mixed with bean products and vermicelli, and cucumber peeling. The other is sauce dish. There are all kinds of stewed vegetables and smoked pickles in cold dishes. Some smoked pickles originated in Russia, and some originated in Qilu. The sauce skeleton is the most famous, and all parts of the sausage, belly and chicken can be taken out with sauce alone. It is said that the crystal elbow was invented by a professor in the Food Department of the Provincial Business School. In short, Harbin people like to eat ready-made food. Most of the dishes are ready-made, and there are usually few kinds of fried dishes. I can't figure out why people like to eat cold things, including cold drinks, because the weather in Harbin is so cold.
Harbin cuisine is characterized by its salty taste, which is also related to the cold weather. Every family in the rural areas of Northeast China has a large vat of homemade thin sauce called big sauce. Harbin people have to buy it from the store. Besides sauce dish, soy sauce is also used for cooking, such as grilled eggplant with soy sauce and scrambled eggs with soy sauce.
Harbin's food culture, like that of any region in China, is divided into staple food and non-staple food. The staple food is divided into two categories: rice and pasta. Now we mainly eat rice. In the past, there were sorghum rice, big rice, small rice and rhubarb rice. Yellow rice, called millet before hulling, is an authentic Manchu thing.
pasta is mainly white flour, but also corn flour and yellow wheat. Yellow wheat is also an authentic Manchu food, made of sticky bean buns and bean flour rolls.
jiaozi is worth mentioning in pasta. There are only three kinds of fillings in Beijing, such as pork, leek and fennel, and there are more than a dozen in Harbin, such as sauerkraut, tomato, cucumber and green pepper. Wild vegetable stuffing, three fresh stuffing, etc. There used to be a famous dumpling restaurant in Laodu, and a rising star was the Oriental King of jiaozi. It is said that the business of a branch of Oriental jiaozi King in Guangzhou is particularly hot.
Harbin people also like noodles. Noodles with gravy, there are all kinds of gravy. Baked noodle soup, which is different from hot noodle soup in the south, is made separately from noodle soup, and also comes from the hunting life of Manchu people. There are also noodles and soup.

In addition to the traditional Russian western food, the Tsar's full-flavored French western food also makes Harbin people look elegant and noble in dining etiquette. In French western food, the materials are exquisite, the craft is complex, and eating French food is considered to be social, so there are many etiquette.
