Jiangsu not only has many interesting attractions, but also countless delicious food.
Jiangsu cuisine is one of the eight traditional Chinese famous dishes. Local dishes such as Jinling cuisine in Nanjing, Huaiyang cuisine in Huai'an, Yangzhou, Suxi cuisine in Wuxi, and Xuhai cuisine in Lianyungang, Xuzhou, all belong to the category of Jiangsu cuisine.
I personally still like to eat Jiangsu cuisine, because Jiangsu cuisine is not as numb as Sichuan cuisine, not as spicy as Hunan cuisine, and not as sweet as Zhejiang cuisine.
Moreover, there are actually differences within Jiangsu cuisine, so the taste will not be too monotonous.
If we were to select the top 10 famous dishes in Jiangsu cuisine, many people would actually have different answers.
I have two lists of the top 10 Jiangsu cuisine published by the media. One is officially selected and the other is selected by netizens. The two lists are very different.
Let’s talk about this list of the top 10 famous Jiangsu cuisine dishes from the Chinese Cuisine Association. 1. Boiled Dry Shreds. The most important traditional dish in Huaiyang cuisine is to cut tofu into shreds and then cook the shredded tofu in chicken soup.
This not only requires the chef to have good knife skills, but also needs to master the temperature of the chicken soup.
2. Wuxi Sauce Pork Ribs is the representative beet in Jiangsu cuisine. It is mainly popular in Wuxi and other places. I have eaten it several times in Wuxi and it tastes really good. The pork ribs are stewed to a pulp. Don’t add too much sugar. Too much will make you tired.
, but not too little, otherwise the flavor will be insufficient.
3. Crystal Shrimp This dish is a bit controversial, mainly because it has nothing to do with Shanghai. Some people say that this is actually a Shanghainese dish.
However, this dish takes quite a long time. How long has it been since Shanghai became independent?
So this is actually a dish that is available in Jiangsu and Shanghai.
4. Braised puffer fish. This dish is more popular in Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, and there are also many in Nanjing.
It is said that Su Dongpo liked this dish more.
Now that puffer fish are protected, what you can eat in restaurants are basically artificially raised puffer fish.
Eating puffer fish is risky because you don’t know how good the chef is. Every time I eat it, I think to myself, this chef’s hands shouldn’t be shaking. 5. Squirrel salmon. This is a dish that is often served at state banquets and is on many ingredient lists.
Often ranked first.
A more classic dish, the fish is fried to a crispy texture and coated with a layer of sauce, which is crispy and sweet.
6. Roudou Long Fish is a famous dish in Huai’an that you must eat every time you go to Huai’an.
This dish requires very high heat. The eel is easy to cook. If the heat is too high, the eel will become stale.
7. Xuyi crayfish This should be the youngest dish on this list, but it is very popular, so popular that it spreads all over Jiangsu and many places across the country.
8. Jinling Salted Duck is the favorite dish of Nanjing people. It is quite fatty and very refreshing. It is a must-have for many Nanjing people at home.
Salted duck is a cold dish. In fact, there is also a hot Nanjing roast duck that is also very popular.
Among Nanjing’s gourmet specialties, my favorite is salted duck.
9. Casserole fish head. The authentic casserole fish head must use the water of Tianmu Lake to stew the Tianmu Lake fish head. The Tianmu Lake fish head is very large and accounts for most of the entire fish body.
And it is easy to stew into a milky white soup like milk, which is extremely delicious when you take a sip.
10. Casserole lion head meatballs are commonly used in northern cuisine, while lion heads are often used in Jiangsu cuisine.
Lion's Head Casserole The lion's head is stewed in the soup and tastes delicious.
In fact, there is also a dish of crab meat and lion head in Jiangsu cuisine. It tastes better when paired with crab roe and lion head.
The above is the official version of the top 10 famous dishes of Jiangsu cuisine from the China Cuisine Association. There is also a private version of the top 10 famous dishes of Jiangsu cuisine voted by netizens. I compared it and found that the difference is quite big.
Let’s take a look at the top 10 popular dishes of Jiangsu cuisine selected by netizens. Among the top 10 popular dishes of Jiangsu cuisine, Pingqiao tofu ranks first. The most classic representative of Jiangsu cuisine, squirrel salmon, ranks second.
The third place is Farewell My Concubine.
The fourth place is Nanjing salted duck, and the fifth place is Huai'an soft pocket long fish.
The sixth place is called Huaji, the seventh place is Yangfang Tibetan fish, the eighth place is boiled dried shreds, the ninth place is crab meat and lion head, and the tenth place is two, white robe shrimps and sauced pork ribs.
Let’s focus on Pingqiao Tofu and Farewell My Concubine.
Pingqiao tofu is not just a simple piece of tofu, it uses tofu, diced chicken and diced mushrooms as the staple food.
Put these ingredients in a pot and steam them together.
Then sprinkle some coriander.
