Japanese restaurants are full of Chinese restaurants, but they are the special restaurants that are teased the most by China people. Generally speaking, the ingredients sold by Chinese restaurants are naturally the special food of China Rain. However, when I entered the restaurant, I realized that the Chinese restaurant was so different from our China specialties that even the ingredients served didn't look like Chinese food at all. Why are Chinese restaurants often teased by China people?
In the eyes of the Japanese, there has always been a ranking list of Chinese cuisine. Just tell them their favorite Chinese cuisine, and they will definitely come up with these three ingredients: beef Lamian Noodles, fried rice with eggs and fried dumplings.
at first glance, these three ingredients are really related to China. Beef Lamian Noodles originated in China, and it was widely spread to Japan before it became Japanese beef Lamian Noodles. Fried rice with eggs is a characteristic of China. Chefs who can handle fried rice with eggs generally have good skills. Dumplings are also a typical food in China. Although they are fried, they are dumplings. However, the Chinese food top3 in my eyes today is not Chinese food at all, but all Japanese self-made ingredients.
Beef Lamian Noodles originated in China. In 174, a historian brought noodles from China to Japan. By the end of Ming smelting in Japan, Lamian Noodles, a Japanese beef, had occurred in Lailaixuan, Japan, and then it gradually melted into the Japanese food culture, becoming the present Japanese beef Lamian Noodles, and on the contrary, it entered China and became a special food from outside. Japanese beef Lamian Noodles and China Lamian Noodles have completely different characteristics. The broth is thick and salty. Beef Lamian Noodles can be hard and soft, and there must be laver, barbecued pork and dried bamboo shoots.
fried rice with eggs is a characteristic of China cuisine. The simple one is fried rice with eggs, and the more complicated one is fried rice with eggs in Yangzhou. Japanese fried rice with eggs tastes very little. Raw eggs, chicken breast, salt and onion can be fried into one fried rice with eggs, and occasionally a small amount of Japanese soy sauce is added for coloring. One of the most classic processes of Japanese fried rice with eggs is to put white rice into a big spoon or a bowl and turn it over on the plate when setting the plate.
fried dumplings, dumplings used to be a special food in China, but when they arrive in Japan, the fancy will become single. Japanese fried dumplings have only one taste, that is, pork and cabbage, and there is no other choice. Dumplings are only fried with cooking oil, and the fried dumplings are generally coherent. There are 5-6 fried dumplings in one serving, which are used as a fixed collocation of Chinese cuisine or as a side dish of Japanese cuisine. Fried dumplings are generally wrapped in a crescent shape, which is plump and plump with us. Like gold coins, jiaozi is also very different.
why are Japanese Chinese food so different from what we expected? Originally, there were Chinese restaurants and China restaurants in Japan. Although there was only a word difference, there was a big difference. Chinese restaurant is a snack written by Japanese. The chef is usually Japanese, and he is used to missing the ingredients, or changing the taste of China's special food, making it less sweet and even salty. China restaurant, it is China who sends Chinese food to Japan, and the chef is usually China, which is the real hometown flavor for us.
Therefore, if you want to eat the taste of childhood when you are in Japan, you don't want to choose a Chinese restaurant, because the ingredients in Chinese restaurants are not Chinese food at all, but Chinese food that the Japanese themselves think. If you want to eat Chinese food, it's more appropriate to go to the restaurants set up by China people on Zhonghua Street.
