Standard 1: Independence of taste
Due to historical reasons, the social development of Northeast China has undergone drastic changes. Therefore, the hard-working and brave Northeastern people created the Northeastern cuisine themselves. Since Shandong people who traveled to Guandong are the mainstream, Northeastern cuisine has many shadows of Shandong cuisine, and also incorporates some practices of Beijing cuisine and Hebei cuisine. The main essence is "stew" .
Northeasterners have traveled north and south in recent years, bringing Northeastern cuisine to North China, then to Central China, and finally to the Pearl River Delta. They have to adapt to the tastes of people in various places. Generally speaking, Northeastern cuisine is relatively complex and independent. It is not strong, so it is difficult to become one of the eight major cuisines. This reason is quite worrying.
Standard 2: Name and presentation of dishes
Representative dishes of Northeastern cuisine include butchered vegetables, Northeastern stew, braised pork belly, white meat blood sausage, pot-wrapped pork, and ground pork Fresh, etc. Just hearing the name of the dish sounds "bold". Among the eight major cuisines, Sichuan cuisine has "Ma Po Tofu", Shandong cuisine has "Hibiscus Chicken Slices", Cantonese cuisine has "Mei Cai Braised Pork", Jiangsu cuisine has "Squirrel Mandarin Fish", Fujian cuisine has "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", and Zhejiang cuisine has "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". "Longjing Shrimp", Hunan cuisine has "Goldfish Play Chain", and Hunan cuisine has "Wuwei Smoked Duck". The names of the dishes in the eight major cuisines are all poetic and magnificent. Although Northeastern cuisine tastes delicious, it is really difficult to compare with the eight major cuisines in terms of name. This reason is also quite worrying.
Because Northeastern cuisine is characterized by random stews, its appearance and appearance are also lost to the eight major cuisines. The winter in the Northeast is cold, so for the convenience of eating, we stew various ingredients together. It contains meat and vegetables, and it is very nutritious. "One pot of stew lasts for three days." The original intention of making random stews is to make you full quickly, which saves the presentation and delicacy. As a result, the Northeastern cuisine is not as good as the eight major cuisines. This reason also makes many Northeasterners sigh and feel sad.
