Braised pork, a special snack in the northern region, was popular in the Tang Dynasty. People "ate braised pork until 99, and then walked down". In different places, the practice of braised pork is different. Yantai and Dalian stews are made of sweet potato starch, Hebei Xingtang and Dingzhou stews are made of lean pork and yam powder, Henan Yuzhou stews are pressed into semi-finished vermicelli with special sweet potatoes, and Dandong stews are made of starch. Seasonings include shrimp oil, sesame sauce, garlic juice and so on. Braised pork in Yuxian has formed an industry, which is mass-produced by assembly line. There are brands such as Shengtian Braised Pork, good sister-in-law Braised Pork and Laoyu Braised Pork.

Stir-fried powder can be said to be a real specialty snack in Jilin city. Stir-fried powder began in Jilin and was introduced to Changchun in the early stage, so at first, only Jilin and Changchun had this snack in the whole northeast. Some cities in Liaoning province also have this snack on the street, but it is called fried braised pork. Fried braised pork originated in Dalian, also known as Dalian fried braised pork, similar to fried rice noodles. The name of fried powder in Changchun is different from that in Jilin. In Changchun, more people call it fried powder.

Therefore, fried powder is just the name of braised pork in Jilin and other places, and it is just a kind of braised pork.
