Due to geographical factors, people in different regions have different tastes, so many versions were born. When was this dish officially circulated? In fact, it is not far from today, that is, about 100 years ago.
The first eating binge was about shredded pork. There are many ancient books in China at the earliest, and the process of cutting meat into shredded pork also has a special saying called "Yi". According to the Book of Rites recorded in the Qin and Han Dynasties two thousand years ago, the meat was sliced and then cut into filaments, which is different from the way we process shredded pork today.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Qi's Yao Min Shu recorded the story of fried shredded pork. In the Song Dynasty, due to the vigorous development of iron smelting technology, iron pots were popularized among the people, and it was not until the dishes were cooked that they were officially carried forward. In the Ming dynasty, fried beef shreds appeared; In the Qing dynasty, fried shredded pork began to become a very famous dish, whether in the folk or in the court. Not only that, fried shredded pork is also carried forward in court cuisine and has become a necessary question in the selection process of royal chefs.
Yuan Mei, a famous gourmet in Qing Dynasty, made a thorough study on how to make this dish well, and especially emphasized that in order to ensure the taste and mouthfeel, only half a catty of meat should be fried at a time, and the shredded pork should be tender and smooth, requiring a big fire and no water.
The second weight loss craze is about green peppers. The origin of pepper is not in China. Due to many factors, pepper was introduced to China very late. At first, people in China didn't know that peppers could only be eaten as ornamental plants. As soon as the picture turned to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, peppers began to enter the dishes. According to the records in "Tiaoding Collection" in Qing Dynasty, Chaotian pepper was gradually recognized by the royal family and entered the court.
As we all know, green pepper is a less spicy variety of pepper, which was introduced to China later than pepper. Although green pepper was introduced into China too late, it was quickly popularized when people found that it was fresh and could be used as a dish. Because of its large output, unique taste and easy cooking, people gradually fell in love with it.
Therefore, under the matchmaking of people, it will inevitably come to the end.
The collocation dishes between them spread quickly as soon as they appeared, which is the most dazzling collision between two great ingredients.
There are mysteries in simple dishes. It can better test a person's cooking skills. This should be regarded as the consensus that people reached with us today 100 years ago.
