Liaocheng traditional flavor
Liaocheng is a national historical and cultural city with a long history of several thousand years. It is the political, economic and cultural center of western Shandong. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was once one of the nine commercial ports along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Liaocheng food culture is an important part of Liaocheng history and culture.
Liaocheng traditional flavor is the representative of Luxi flavor, which was created by chefs in past dynasties by using local resources and according to local customs and habits, and was deeply influenced by north-south flavor. The traditional flavor of Liaocheng is characterized by rich and perfect noodles, atmospheric dishes and rich and mellow taste, and is famous for its outstanding sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic. Good at making freshwater lakes.
Jinan cuisine is famous for its clear soup and milk soup, while Jiaodong cuisine is famous for its seafood, while Luxi cuisine is famous for its rich aroma. Its rich aroma is manifested in the repeated use of soy sauce or sweet noodle sauce, and it is good at using rich spices such as vinegar, pepper and garlic. The dishes are rich in flavor and unique in style. Let's try to describe four aspects of the rich aroma of Liaocheng traditional dishes.
First of all, the taste of sauce
With sweet noodle sauce and soy sauce as the main ingredients and other condiments, the dishes are rich in sauce flavor and slightly sweet in salt, and are mainly used for cooking hot dishes such as stir-frying, stewing, roasting, stewing and stewing. Traditional dishes, such as diced pork in soy sauce, fish strips in soy sauce, crucian carp in soy sauce, sweet and sour chicken in soy sauce, baked catfish in soy sauce, stewed mutton in soy sauce, fried alfalfa meat and duck recipes in soy sauce, all reflect the characteristics of soy sauce flavor. Home cooking is also flavored with sweet noodle sauce, such as stewed melon, stewed eggplant slices and fried cabbage skin. In addition, the meat stalls and shops on the streets of Luxi Town are cooked food with sauce.
The pot-stewed flavor of sauce-made food is called sauce pot, which is similar to the brine in the south and has its own characteristics. There are dozens of seasonings such as tsaoko, fragrant leaves, fennel and white wine. And condiments such as rock sugar, soy sauce, sugar color and salt. Can be used to pickle pork and beef. The bittern fragrance in the south and the sauce pot fragrance in Liaocheng have their own advantages.
Secondly, the smell of vinegar
Seasoning with vinegar can achieve the effect of removing fishy smell, relieving boredom, refreshing and enhancing fragrance. Hot and sour taste, salty and sour taste and sweet and sour taste are all tastes that Liaocheng people especially like to eat. Civil weddings and funerals? There are many steamed bowls in the banquet made by H Chang, such as braised chicken, braised fish and braised crisp meat. All these are poured into a steaming bowl with sour and salty juice. Traditional fried pork slices, commonly known as old pork slices, are also cooked with vinegar, sour and salty. Clear soup balls, hot and sour soup, etc. It is also made into hot and sour taste, while mustard such as mustard cabbage is made of mustard and vinegar. Vinegar chicken, hot and sour fish pieces, sweet and sour tile fish, sweet and sour meatballs, pumpkin soaked in vinegar and other dishes all show strong vinegar flavor and are particularly appetizing.
Third, the smell of pepper.
Using the fragrant and hemp characteristics of pepper, with salt and other condiments, the salty and fresh flavor of hemp is formed, which is the Chili flavor of Liaocheng traditional famous dish. This spice is widely used in cooking techniques, such as frying, frying, mixing, pickling, steaming, boiling, stewing, baking and sliding. Making good use of pepper oil is one of the main differences between Liaocheng cuisine and other local cuisines. Many dishes are cooked with pepper, onion, ginger, vinegar and so on. Then sprinkle with pepper oil when you are out of the pot. For example, stir-fried kidney, raw fried chicken, fried double crisp, vinegar crucian carp, chopped green onion fish, fried meatballs, shredded celery, baked bean curd skin, braised cabbage with seaweed, braised belly slices, braised smallpox and so on. Soak them in pepper oil when they are out of the pot to increase the flavor and taste. The usage of pepper water is also very unique. For example, when frying meat slices, add pepper water to the wok when cooking. Roasted mutton strips are first pickled with pepper water; When making "stuffing", such as the modulation of steamed buns, pepper water is often added. There are many fried vegetables with salt and pepper.
Fourth, sour taste.
Garlic is also widely used in cold dishes and hot dishes. Garlic paste or minced garlic is used to make cold dishes with other condiments. Garlic is fragrant, salty and spicy. When cooking dishes with roasting, stewing, stewing and other techniques. Garlic cloves and diced garlic are often added to remove fishy smell and peculiar smell. Such as braised mutton with garlic, braised dog meat, roasted turtle with garlic, stewed beef and stewed fish. When cooking dishes by frying, frying, sliding, etc., garlic slices will be added to enhance the flavor. For example, stir-fried kidney, fried meat with garlic, fried heart slices, shrimp cakes, shrimp slices, vinegar chicken and so on. When cooking dishes by frying, frying, frying and frying, minced garlic is also added to enhance the flavor and fragrance, such as fried chicken, sweet and sour fish, fried shrimp and vinegar-cooked fish sticks.
From the four smells mentioned above, we can see the influence of canal commercial culture on catering industry in Liaocheng history. It is the material exchange between the north and the south that promotes the exchange of cooking skills and the traditional flavor of Liaocheng, which combines the essence of the north and the south and has its own style. Although most traditional dishes have been abandoned by the market, excellent varieties are still favored by chefs and customers. When everyone is scrambling to create new dishes, we should inherit and carry forward the advantages of traditional dishes. Only in this way can our creation have a foundation, our development have a source, and our creation and development will be better and faster.
These are the traditional snacks in Liaocheng. It should be said that you can buy some in the snack street, but you can't eat all the authentic donkey meat like Laowangzhai, eight batches of fruit, board tofu and Wei's smoked chicken in the franchise store, and these stores are not centralized, so it's hard to say that you have eaten them all. I suggest you go to the food street on Liuyuan South Road to see what's delicious.
