a piece of black land has nurtured a unique culture, which is rough, bold and enthusiastic. A Zhao Benshan, Pan Changjiang and Gong Hanlin ... spread the "Northeast Sketch" all over the country, and of course, a group of people from "Longquan Villa" such as "Liu Laogen", "Medicine Box" and "Big Pepper" spread a black land culture all over the country. Black land culture is not only active on the stage and screen, but also permeated on the dining table. Watching northeast operas and eating northeast dishes has become a life scene for urbanites.
coming to the northeast restaurant for dinner is like coming to the black land. A piece of Stewed Fish in the Great Northern Wilderness brings diners' thoughts to the once desolate and rich "Beidacang". It is said that this special dish was created by the soldiers of the Corps that year. Wash the whole live carp without frying, put it in a pot, add onion, ginger and garlic, add cooking wine, vinegar, soy sauce and other seasonings, and cook it in broth. The fresh flavor of the fish is commendable. "Northeast One Pot Out", "Fish Head Bubble Cake", "Mushroom Stewed with Chicken" and "Random Stir-fry" make people feel like sitting on a hot kang, and feel the harmony and affection of family and friends eating together: in a small iron pot, ribs are stewed with beans and corn cobs, and a circle of corn flour (bean flour) cakes is covered on the side of the pot, which is steaming and fragrant. This is a simple and very "local" northeast food culture.
Because of its unique historical and cultural background, Black Land has also bred a very noble and elegant northeast food culture. Baishan Heishui is the hometown of Manchu. With the rise of Nuerhachi, the prosperity of the Eight Banners, the Qing army's entry into Shanhaiguan and its capital in Beijing, the original authentic Northeast "local cuisine"-Manchu cuisine has also developed, which has spread all over the country, and even formed the imperial dishes of the Qing Dynasty. Qijia Stewed Cuisine, Ganlong Cheese Meat and Nashi Pig's Hand are all representative Manchu characteristics. In the northeast restaurant, you can taste local specialties and ethnic flavor dishes at the same time, which can be described as both elegant and popular.
