On April 7, 2021, the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Commerce launched the "Gan Cuisine? Make Famous" action, continue to promote Gan cuisine's famous dishes, famous stores, famous streets, famous chefs, and famous festivals, and create a Gan cuisine brand to expand and strengthen the Gan cuisine industry.
This news has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions among netizens.
In our impression, we all know Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, etc., but have never heard of "Gan cuisine". What kind of cuisine is this? We are very curious.
On the other hand, many Jiangxi people themselves can’t understand why their hometown dishes, which make you drool when you talk about them, can’t resonate with outsiders at all?
Gan cuisine, also called Jiangxi cuisine, has a long history. It is a "hometown cuisine" with a strong local flavor developed on the basis of inheriting the "literati cuisine" of previous dynasties.
Gan cuisine is not well-known not only because its own cuisine lacks characteristics, but also because "Gan cuisine" is located in the circle of "eight major cuisines", and these cuisines have distinctive characteristics and have accumulated countless loyal fans, and "Gan cuisine" has never been
The geographical location determines that it is difficult to "specialize". It will definitely be influenced by other cuisines, resulting in the loss of its own cuisine characteristics, and it is difficult to break through the "eight major cuisines".
In addition, Jiangxi is adjacent to Hunan. We all know that Hunan food is very spicy, so in our impression, we mistakenly think that "Gan cuisine" is spicier, which will also discourage customers who don't like spicy food.
Therefore, the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Commerce launched the campaign to “make Gan cuisine famous” so that diners across the country, and even the world, would know more about “Gan cuisine”.
Gan cuisine is formed by the interpenetration and intersection of the five major schools of Nanchang, Shangrao, Jiujiang, eastern Ganxi and southern Ganxi. Although it is not among the eight major cuisines, it is unique.
Gan cuisine’s cooking techniques focus on heat, and the main methods are roasting, stewing, stewing, steaming and stir-frying.
In the selection of raw materials, we advocate green, ecological and healthy concepts.
Jiangxi is a major agricultural province in my country, as well as a province of rice noodles. Therefore, Jiangxi cuisine cannot be separated from various kinds of noodles: rice noodles, mixed noodles, hot noodles, soaked noodles, stir-fried noodles, etc., which are also a part of "Gan cuisine". Big features.
At the same time, Jiangxi is also a major fishery province in my country, so "Gan cuisine" is also inseparable from fish, such as Gannan fried fish, Pohu fat fish head, etc.
In addition, the well-known "Dongpo Pork" is also a representative of Jiangxi cuisine, and in "Gan cuisine", chicken is widely used: Wenshan chicken, Laobiao chicken soup, etc.
In terms of taste, although Gan cuisine is mainly spicy, it is different from Hunan cuisine, which is also spicy.
, In addition, Jiangxi cuisine also has many non-spicy dishes.
Jiangxi vigorously supports "Gan cuisine". Perhaps in the near future, Gan cuisine will become a veritable "ninth major cuisine".
