Hunan cuisine, referred to as "Hunan cuisine", is one of the eight major cuisines in China. Hunan cuisine is characterized by its emphasis on knife skills and seasoning. It is especially famous for its hot and sour dishes and cured products. The cooking techniques are good at simmering, steaming, frying, stewing, stir-frying, etc.
Due to its rich varieties, distinctive taste and rich local characteristics.
As someone who caters Hunan cuisine, let me post a few dishes to represent the tastes of most diners.
Hunanese people value sourness and spicyness. The sourness is not acetic acid, but the acidity produced by the fermentation of the jar cuisine series. The spicyness is spicy, not spicy like Sichuan cuisine.
Dishes focus on the delicious ingredients.
Stir-fried beef with white pepper, stewed fish with tofu with white pepper, minced pork with pickled cabbage, stir-fried cured fish with white pepper, stir-fried screws with white pepper and green pepper, stewed winter bamboo shoots with bacon, home-cooked cabbage and tofu, pan-fried loach and grilled fish with perilla pepper, pagoda yellow frog fish
, steamed pork with rice flour, snowflake meatballs, and so on, how the people of Meishan, Xiongdanshan, eat.
The number one dish in Hunan, stir-fried pork with chili pepper, is definitely a dish that every household in Hunan has.
Other fish heads with chopped pepper, blood duck, pork blood meatballs, and steamed preserved meat are all the result of the promotion of local dishes. Only fried pork with pepper is definitely a dish recognized by the whole province.
Everyone is talking about this and that dish. Who still remembers the out-of-stock craw nuts that he said he wanted to eat all over Sichuan?
Sichuan and Hunan each occupy one of the eight major cuisines. There really can’t be just a few dishes that represent Hunan. There are too many!
Too many to count!
I think like me, the first thing people think of when talking about Changsha’s delicacies is: stinky tofu. But after we went to Changsha, we discovered that stinky tofu is actually one of the most popular delicacies in Changsha.
It is rice noodles, which is equivalent to the way people in Shanxi and Shaanxi eat noodles.
You will always hear different accents, see different scenery, and meet different beauties.
And these all constitute the flavor of a city.
