First, the appearance is not very good:

Northeast food is delicious, the ingredients are precious, the weight is large, and the popularity is relatively high, but there is a problem. Northeast cuisine is not exquisite enough, so it doesn't look good. For example, the well-known pork ribs stewed with beans, stewed in the northeast and stewed with pork vermicelli are absolutely not bad in taste, but because they are stewed dishes, their appearance is not very delicate and beautiful. Just by saying that it looks good, Northeast cuisine will not be selected as one of the eight major cuisines.

Second, the name of the dish is not foreign enough:

The names of the dishes in Northeast China are grounded, which doesn't sound very tall. Although the taste of Northeast cuisine is not worse than that of the eight major cuisines, the name sounds a little worse. For example, killing pigs, one of the four hard dishes in Northeast China, how can this name be associated with high-end dishes? The names of many dishes in the eight major cuisines are poetic and cultural. For example, Buddha jumps over the wall, Dongpo meat, and white-cut princess chicken. In contrast, let's listen to the names of northeast dishes, such as chicken stewed mushrooms, northeast sauerkraut, etc. Is there no harm without comparison?

Third, the dishes are relatively single:

Because the latitude in the northeast is too high and the climate is very cold, there are few ingredients suitable for growth, and the ingredients are single. Most of them can't be eaten without potatoes, cabbages and radishes. Although the northeast dishes are delicious, even the master's level can make a variety of patterns, but there are only a few well-known northeast vegetables. If you want to be selected into the eight major cuisines, the dishes must be rich and varied first. There are fewer kinds of northeast cuisine, so this is one of the reasons why it has not been selected as one of the eight major cuisines.

Fourth, the color of the dishes is dark:

Delicious dishes pay attention to color, smell and taste. Although Northeast dishes are delicious, if they look good in appearance, Northeast dishes are not available at first. Because we are familiar with the Northeast stews, such as chicken stewed mushrooms, pork stewed vermicelli, pork stewed tofu, these dishes taste better, but they all look sticky. Then there is the color, which is also relatively dim. The soy sauce used by everyone is relatively heavy, so the color is generally not too bright, and it doesn't look very appetizing.
