China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, and the difference between the north and the south is particularly great. Generally, southerners have no chance to go to the Northeast unless they travel. Although there are Northeast dishes sold in the south, they are basically not authentic. Even under the name of Northeast Restaurant, they are not selling authentic Northeast dishes, so many southerners are afraid to go to the local Northeast Restaurant. After all, if they don't sell well, it will directly affect the image of Northeast dishes in their hearts.
When it comes to Northeast cuisine, even friends who haven't been to Northeast China should have heard of such well-known dishes as pork stewed vermicelli and pot-stewed meat. But in fact, there are more than two kinds of Northeast cuisine, and there are countless delicious foods in Northeast China, such as Northeast Lapi 'er and Chicken Stewed Mushroom. Which one is not the most delicious? In fact, there will be more stews in Northeast cuisine. It is not only convenient but also delicious to stew many different dishes directly together.
Many southerners make jokes when they go to the Northeast for the first time and eat in restaurants. They always think Northeast food is delicious, so they order two more dishes. After all, when they eat in restaurants in the south, one dish is just a small dish. So when they first go to the Northeast, they take the southern food as the standard. When they go to eat alone, they bite their teeth and think that they can almost finish three dishes. Who knows that after ordering the dishes, the boss looks surprised. It was not until the dishes were served that I understood why the boss looked awkward.
Pork stewed vermicelli
Pork stewed vermicelli is a famous dish in Northeast China. Although it is simple Chinese cabbage, vermicelli and meat, who knows that such a dish is not expensive, but its weight is real, and such a big bowl is enough for four people! But this dish is delicious, not too salty or too light, and it tastes just right.
Pot-stewed meat
Pot-stewed meat is authentic only in Northeast China. Usually, the pot-stewed meat made by ourselves always feels that something is missing, and it can never taste like a restaurant in Northeast China. In fact, the most important thing for pot-stewed meat is to mix the batter that wraps the meat slices, so that the good batter can be golden and crisp when fried.
Pig-killing dish
If you go to Northeast China alone, don't order this dish, not because it's not delicious, but because it's too heavy. Pig-killing dish is also a traditional dish in Northeast China. Every year during the Chinese New Year, many people in Northeast China will kill pigs, and then the offal of the remaining pigs will be stewed in a big pot, with sauerkraut unique to Northeast China. It's really wonderful and good for the whole family to eat together.
