Jin cuisine has a long history

Jin cuisine has a profound historical background and cultural accumulation. Especially, driven by Shanxi merchants, Jin cuisine draws on the strengths of many people and has an excellent system. A number of Jin cuisines have also gone out of Niangziguan. In history, Jin cuisine has a strong influence and a glorious history, which once made the people of Sanjin proud. The basic flavor of Jin cuisine is salty and fragrant, supplemented by sweet and sour. Jin cuisine is simple in material selection, pays attention to fire power in cooking, pays attention to the original flavor after cooking, and is good at various cooking techniques such as explosion, stir-frying, stir-frying, simmering, burning, stewing, grilling and steaming. The regional characteristics are obvious and the flavor characteristics are different. Dishes can be divided into three groups: South, North and Middle. The south road is dominated by Yuncheng and Linfen, with seafood as the most important dish and light taste.

Datong and Wutai Mountain are the representatives of North Road, and the dishes pay attention to heavy oil and heavy color.

The middle dishes are mainly from Taiyuan, which combines the strengths of the north and the south. The ingredients are carefully selected and carefully matched, with salty taste as the main ingredient and sweet and sour as the supplement. The dishes are crisp, tender, heavy in color and heavy in taste.

there is also a geographical division: Jinzhong cuisine, southern Shanxi cuisine, Shangdang cuisine and northern Shanxi cuisine.

Jinzhong cuisine, centered on Taiyuan, the provincial capital, is a kind of private cuisine with large size, such as Taigu, Pingyao, Qixian and other places with developed commerce in Ming and Qing dynasties, and has absorbed the cooking methods of other cuisines (mainly Shandong cuisine), and gradually formed a set of unique local dishes.

Jinnan cuisine is represented by Linfen, Yicheng and other places, with spicy, sweet and slightly sour taste, and its good cooking methods include stir-frying, frying, stewing and making soup dishes.

Shangdang cuisine is represented by Changzhi and Jincheng in Shangdang basin. Its taste is similar to that of Henan cuisine, and it is good at smoking, marinating, roasting and stewing.

Northern Shanxi cuisine is represented by Datong, Xinzhou and other places. Due to its special geographical position, it has formed unique cooking methods such as roasting, roasting, stewing and rinsing. Emphasis on taste, thick oil and salty flavor are typical characteristics of northern Shanxi cuisine.

In addition, the series of vegetarian dishes represented by Wutai Mountain is a Buddhist dish with abundant local mushrooms, various fungi and vegetables, which embodies the characteristics of vegetarian dishes as one of the four Buddhist holy places and has been highly praised by people in the catering industry.

even if it is subdivided in this way, it is difficult to cover all the characteristics of Jin cuisine. For example, according to the cooking techniques and characteristics of dishes, Jinzhong cuisine can be divided into two categories: "Hangcai" and "Zhuangcai". "Hangcai", also known as "market cuisine", generally refers to the common dishes widely circulated in the social catering industry. It is characterized by a wide range of materials, diverse cooking techniques, and pays attention to the shape after cooking. It is a road dish that restaurants, restaurants and post stations operate daily. However, "Zhuangcai" is different from "Hangcai", which mainly refers to the dishes that originated from special places such as wealthy businessmen, money houses, official families and government offices in Jinzhong area for their own enjoyment. The chef of "Zhuangcai" is a famous chef hired by these wealthy businessmen from all over the world to serve the owners, shopkeepers and businessmen who have close business relations. The dishes cooked are extremely exquisite, the materials used are also extremely exquisite, and the production is fine, paying attention to health care, which is a rare essence of traditional dishes in Jin cuisine.

Although the classic Jin cuisine is still fresh in ancient times

The traditional famous dishes in Jin cuisine include sweet and sour fish, pot-roasted mutton, shredded Chinese yam, baked eggs in an iron bowl, fermented bean curd, etc. Shanxi's famous flavor snacks include "brain", Daoxiao Noodles, fish pulling, cat's ear, oat noodle, Wenxi cake and so on. Among condiments, Qingxu mature vinegar, Daixian pepper, Yanbei sesame oil and Yingxian purple garlic are all very famous. Shanxi pasta is especially famous, with many varieties, unique eating methods and different flavors. The finished products are tough or soft, all smooth and refreshing, with a long aftertaste. The strangest thing is that Shanxi pasta can be a feast, and it will not be the same from beginning to end.

Jin cuisine has developed its strengths and avoided its weaknesses

In recent years, Jin cuisine has fallen behind in its development. Many foreign consumers, including local people, only know Shanxi pasta, and the famous Jin cuisine only knows "oily meat".

The main reason for the stagnation of Jin cuisine is that "a clever woman can't cook without rice". Due to the limitation of resources, the traditional skills of Jin cuisine, such as steaming, frying, braising, frying, stewing and stewing, can't give play to their advantages. At present, other cuisines pay attention to nutrition, health, fashion and freshness, and pay attention to dietary structure, while the style of Jin cuisine with strong oil and heavy taste remains unchanged, and the innovation of cooking techniques is insufficient, which makes it unable to be unique among many cuisines. At present, people from all walks of life in Sanjin have reached an understanding that "Jin cuisine" urgently needs to create new food culture, ideas and ideas, so that the long-standing Jin cuisine culture can be carried forward.

Xun Ziyun said, "If you don't accumulate steps, you will reach a thousand miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. " With the development of Shanxi's economy, the development of Shanxi cuisine has been accelerated, which has attracted the attention of the catering industry in China. In 22, at the Hangzhou Food Festival, Jin cuisine was rated as one of the eight new cuisines. At the China Catering Expo held in Chengdu in 25, Shanxi's pasta performance was superior and highly praised by the industry. "The number of pasta in the world is Taiyuan, and the delicacies of mountains and seas are hard to compare with fresh ones. The taste is overwhelming in the north and south of China, and the tongue is on the sky." In recent years, the "Pasta Festival" in Shanxi has made Shanxi pasta famous in the world and revived the brand of Shanxi cuisine.

the rise of Jin cuisine revives its glory

Looking back at history and looking forward to the future, the revitalization of Jin cuisine needs to seek development through summing up, progress through learning and compete for neutral brands. Government organizations, catering experts, famous chefs in Sanjin, famous restaurants and other forces have formed a joint force, taking a series of measures such as support, guidance, research, innovation and publicity to greatly enhance the influence of Shanxi cuisine; Looking around Sanjin, Shanxi Restaurant, Bingzhou Hotel, Jinyunlou, Sanjin Restaurant and Furong Restaurant, which are famous for their Shanxi cuisine, have made remarkable achievements in recent years, not only representing Shanxi's taste and enjoyment level, but also casting their own brands; Looking at the whole country, there are also professional Jin cuisine restaurants in developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Tianjin. "Jin cuisine" is no longer synonymous with middle and low-grade catering. I believe that in the near future, "Jin cuisine" will once again become a wonderful flower in China catering industry!
