1. Stewed chicken with mushrooms

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it happens to be the fresh season for dried mushrooms in Northeast China. At this time, the dried mushrooms have just been dried and the aroma has not evaporated. It is more suitable for making stewed chicken with mushrooms with Northeast characteristics.
In addition to choosing the right chicken, the mushroom-soaked water must be added to the chicken instead of cold water for stewing, so that the stewed chicken breast tastes delicious. Northeast people also like to add a little sweet potato vermicelli to make mushroom stew chicken, and use sweet potato vermicelli to digest and absorb the delicious taste of chicken breast and dried mushrooms. This sweet potato vermicelli is smooth and full of the fragrance of chicken breast and dried mushrooms.
2. Braised fish in sauce
Northeast China is a region with abundant water resources in China, and because of the cold climate, the fish produced by cold water has a long growth and development period, so the fish is compact and less fishy, and it is delicious and comfortable to eat, especially to relieve hunger.
No matter what kind of fish is stewed in Northeast China, people in Northeast China will stew it with bean paste, which is a special product of Northeast China, and they like to stew it with beer instead of water, so that the stewed fish paste has a strong flavor, and it is needless to say that there is no fishy smell when the food is salty and crisp.
Fish is indispensable for Mid-Autumn Festival family banquets in Northeast China, and there is only one criterion for selecting both fish and freshwater fish, that is, it should be big enough. This kind of fishbone is less than meat, which is very suitable for the festive atmosphere of Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a happy family reunion.
3. Steamed crabs
Crabs are an essential snack on the Mid-Autumn Festival table, not only in the Northeast, but also in the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquets all over the country.
Panjin in the northeast produces high-quality crabs. In addition, the coastal areas of Liaoning also produce delicious crabs. This different variety of cancer also brings a different fragrance to the Mid-Autumn Festival table in the northeast.

The combination of these three makes the soup delicious and thick, and the food with the appetizer is all excellent and delicious.
There are two tips for northeast people to stew beans: First, no matter how long beans are cut, they must be broken off by hand, so that the juice of long beans will not be lost and it will be easier to taste when stewed; Second, the long beans should be fried in the pot first, so that the long beans nourished by oil will remove the bean flavor and taste more delicious.
