Because the dish of pot-stewed meat is made by Harbin people. Let's talk to you about the origin of pot-wrapped meat. The origin of pot-stewed meat is a famous northeast dish, which is deeply loved by people. At that time, Du Xueying, a Taoist platform, received foreign guests. In order to cater to their tastes, Zheng Xingwen, the first chief chef of Du Xueying, a Taoist platform in Binjiang Road Department, thought hard to create the dish of "pot-wrapped meat". This story is little known. Zheng Jiazu was born in Jianchang County, Liaoning Province. Zheng Xingwen grew up in a well-off family. The good family environment made Zheng Xingwen gradually interested in food culture, made some research on the cooking, and commented on the color, fragrance, taste and shape of dishes, so he was praised as a "little gourmet". Zheng Xingwen came to Beijing with his father when he was 6 years old. 14 years old, he was very fond of food and cooking. Zheng Xingwen once learned to cook official dishes in an official's house in Beijing. After several years of hard study, Zheng Xingwen, an apprentice, opened a middle-grade restaurant called Zhenweiju in the seventh year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty 188 1 in Beijing, which was then called Beiping. 1907, recommended by a friend, Zheng Xingwen took 14 skilled cooks into the Daotai House at that time to be the head chef, who specially prepared meals for the first Daotai Du Xueying. As the official residence of the northern town at that time, Daotai House often hosted foreign guests. Because foreigners like sweet and sour tastes, the salty taste in the north makes foreign guests uncomfortable. In order to please foreign envoys, Daotai Du Xueying ordered the chefs in the government to change the taste of dishes. After several meditations, Zheng Xingwen changed the original salty and delicious "burnt meat" into sweet and sour dishes, and a new dish appeared. Zheng Xingwen called it "Pan-fried meat" according to the practice of dishes. It may be that foreigners have a problem with their pronunciation when ordering, but now it is called "Pan-fried meat". The pot-wrapped meat in Liaoning cuisine uses tomato juice, which is another flavor.
