Although I don't know anything about the eight major cuisines, I know a lot about Northeast cuisine, so I still want to talk about it, because Northeast cuisine is more common to ordinary people. It is civilian and popular, and its ingredients are easily available and easy to operate. (For example, "Di San Xian", "Sauerkraut Pork with Blood Sauerkraut" and "Stewed Mushroom with Chicken" are all home-cooked dishes, but they pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables and are rich in nutrition. Eating is a must. Northeasters are quite familiar with what they eat. Unlike southerners who pursue novelty and height, they want to try anything they can chew and swallow. It is said that some people make soup from aborted stillbirths and eat their young alive. In the eyes of northeast people in China, just looking at it will spit the river, so they eat many endangered animals and plants. Ordinary people in Shandong and Henan live a life of penance. If you say it well, you are careful. If you say it badly, you are stingy. This is true for others, especially for yourself. They seldom fry a few dishes, boil a pot of wine and treat their short lives, but they seem to prefer to abuse and embarrass themselves, cooking rice with boiled water and rolling onions with pancakes. I have never seen or eaten any of the eight major cuisines. I believe many local people are proud of the eight major cuisines. Like me, the eight major cuisines seem to be more inclined to those rich and pregnant dignitaries, and several ordinary families also have the financial and material resources to hire a chef with several years of cooking experience to cook for themselves. In this crackdown, those dignitaries who used public funds to eat and drink. It is just some poor diaosi who are even more ashamed to talk about the eight major cuisines, risking the cancellation of the subsistence allowance and hanging on the eight major cuisines every day. I don't know if I really think I have lived a well-off life. Food is for eating, not for blowing. It should be based on folk materials and serve the public and the people. In this respect, Northeast cuisine can be said to be a top eight. Why do some foreigners always like to tell Northeast cuisine what to do? If you don't agree, you can skip it. No matter how beautifully you paint the eight cuisines while wiping your mouth, it's in vain if you can't eat them!
China has eight major cuisines, Northeast Cuisine ... Unfortunately, it didn't rank on the list, but it didn't affect the barbaric growth of Northeast Cuisine at all.

The food culture in Northeast China has also been influenced by this history.
At that time, millions of soldiers reclaimed the Great Northern Wilderness, and a considerable number of people traveled from Shandong to the east, naturally bringing Shandong's eating habits.

Fried potatoes, green peppers and eggplant
There are many ethnic minorities living in the northeast, mainly Manchu.
Manchu people like to eat millet, such as millet, barnyard grass and millet. In order to eat these things frequently, Manchu people ground rice into flour, wrapped it with bean stuffing, steamed it in a drawer and then frozen it. If they want to eat it at any time in the future, they will take it back from the outside and melt it.
So there is a special food in the northeast, sticky bean buns.

02. Not all stews can be called Northeast stews, but they are traditional dishes in Northeast China. To put it bluntly, it is a hodgepodge. Stew beans, potatoes, eggplant, green peppers, tomatoes, fungus and other vegetables with meat until cooked.
The essence of stew in Northeast China lies in the word "chaos". It can stew many dishes unrelated to southerners. take for example

However, not all stews can be called Northeast stews.
Northeast stews are not equal to Northeast stews. Most Northeast stews are collocated, with one meat and one vegetable. Northeast stew is a stew with multiple materials, that is, different materials are used in different seasons, and about a dozen materials are stewed together.
There are two kinds of stews in Northeast China: soup and miso soup. Clear soup can be drunk, but miso soup is similar to rape, but it can also be drunk. It is salty.
When it comes to stew, it is actually not a serious dish in Northeast China. It turns out that the so-called chaotic stew is to stew the leftovers together in order not to waste food. Northeasters don't stew meat for guests, and a good-looking Northeastern can't lose that person.
No matter whether it is northeast stew or northeast stew, there is no need for any complicated craft. Just chop vegetables and meat, push them into the pot and simmer them on the shelf, and you can eat them without delicate utensils. Put the stewed vegetables in a small iron pot, iron basin or large bowl.
Look at this stew, and then look at the amount of food, which shows the enthusiasm and benefits of the northeast people. Don't worry about not having enough to eat northeast stew. You can eat it in a big bowl. In Northeast dialect, it is-

When it comes to pot stickers, it refers to sticking tortillas on iron pots, which is also a peasant flavor with special northeast characteristics.

Pickled sauerkraut is the wisdom crystallization of the northeast people in order to solve the problem of eating vegetables in winter in the era of material shortage. Nowadays, sauerkraut has become a dietary symbol of the northeast people. As the saying goes, "A monster in Northeast China only eats sauerkraut instead of fresh vegetables".

Southerners regard jiaozi as a snack, just a snack on the table, while northerners regard jiaozi as their staple food. To say that jiaozi, which is most loved by the northeast folks, is of course stuffed with pork and sauerkraut.
Its unique flavor and taste are unmatched by ordinary vegetables. Simply mix a stuffing, no need to put more seasoning, and it tastes sour and refreshing.
How delicious is northeast sauerkraut? Even emperor Qianlong likes it. According to folklore, when Qianlong traveled eastward to Shengjing, he was full of praise for sauerkraut and white meat.
04. Why is Northeast cuisine so big? Why is Northeast cuisine so big? The major reasons for this are the following
Cold is the north, and the forest is snow. The coldest time in the northeast is MINUS 30 degrees, which is unimaginable cold for southerners. It is natural to eat more high-calorie food to warm up when it is cold. If you trudge through the ice and snow for an hour and then come home, you will instantly realize the true essence of food-the fuel of our bodies.
You see, the stew in the cauldron is served steaming. When you eat it in your mouth, you suddenly add heat to your body, so the stew in the cauldron won't get cold soon. Even if you eat a little longer, the food is still hot enough.
It is also because of the cold that people become lazy. In any case, they must cook and simply stew a pot.
Whether stewed meat, pickled cabbage, barbecue, or meat cake, fresh ground, pot-wrapped meat, the dietary characteristics in Northeast China are simple, direct and enthusiastic.
This feature is attributed to the spirit and temperament of the Northeast people. In the early years, the cold land was pioneering and enterprising, fighting against the harsh environment, which created the generous temperament of the Northeast people.
In the northeast, you can often see people sitting on a table around pots of steaming stew, chopsticks dancing, laughing and cursing loudly, glasses hitting the mountain and oil sweating on their faces. When you eat fast, you will smile and curse, and your spirit is full of enthusiasm. In the eyes of people in other places, this scene is simply a "bandit."
Therefore, the northeast cuisine is Jianghu cuisine.
Rivers and lakes will always decline, but fortunately, we still have delicious food, which can soothe the pleasure and enmity of the children of rivers and lakes in that black land.
In fact, the topic is wrong! Northeast cuisine belongs to a branch of Shandong cuisine in the eight major cuisines, and it can also be said that Shandong cuisine is the most influential and edifying. Due to the unique geographical location and different general resources and specialties in Northeast China, it can be said that although it originated from Shandong cuisine, it has become a unique school!
One of the reasons why Northeast cuisine is world-famous is its unique ingredients.
A cuisine can be recognized by the public, and there must be ingredients that the public likes. Due to its unique geographical location, the Northeast is rich in too many delicious foods, which are basically unique to the Northeast and not available in other regions.
For example, all kinds of wild vegetables, mushrooms and river fish are basically specialties of Northeast China, and most of them are original, green and pure natural! Today, healthy eating has become a trend, so it is not surprising that this point is sought after and welcomed!
Second, historical reasons.
As we all know, the last feudal dynasty in China, the Manchu Dynasty, started from the "Baishan Blackwater" in the northeast, and after the Manchu entered the customs. Naturally, he brought his eating habits into the Central Plains, which gave birth to the pinnacle of Chinese food-Manchu-Chinese banquet.
Many ingredients in the Manchu-Han banquet are taken from the northeast, or it is impossible to make a Manchu-Han banquet without the ingredients of the northeast specialty. Then, as the original lettuce line in Northeast China, it should be famous all over the world by the light of the Manchu-Han banquet!
Third, cooking methods
Northeast cuisine pays more attention to "original flavor" and highlights the main ingredients, which is one of the main characteristics of Northeast cuisine.
Because most dishes in Northeast China are stewed, the ingredients are soft and rotten, crisp and not broken, the seasonings are mainly soybean sauce and sugar, and the finished dishes are mainly salty and fresh. This is more suitable for the public taste, and it can be said to be "Xian Yi for all ages".
So I think it's strange that Northeast cuisine is world-famous for its unique ingredients, rich variety of dishes, cooking tastes suitable for the public and a lot of benefits! In fact, Northeast cuisine and Shandong cuisine belong to the same department, because most people in Northeast China originally came from Shandong, so Shandong cuisine should be summarized. Shandong cuisine is particularly popular in the north.
The eight major cuisines are limited to the era of sending letters, relying on post stations and riding out. Even the emperor will go to Jiangnan for 10 days and a half, and it's a one-way trip. What is even more uncertain is how long it will take to get back and forth.
In the era of underdeveloped transportation. People are confined to where they live. Eat the mountain by the mountain, eat the sea by the sea. Live a self-sufficient life. There is no access to the outside world. Not to mention not eating out. Even the master in the tavern passed on his skills from mouth to mouth in his own small circle.
The original sources of the eight major cuisines are "exquisite and well-informed" by dignitaries, salt merchants or governors from all over the country.

The development of logistics makes the population flow reach an unprecedented peak. The migration of population stimulated the change of eating habits. Let the boundaries of a big cuisine become more and more blurred.
