Shandong people always give people a sense of sureness, kindness and simplicity. Even eating is very similar to this character. In the impression of many foreigners, we Shandong people eat in "pots", and the quantity is very large.

However, Shandong people eat not only in large quantities, but also in a "hard" way. Such famous dishes as sea cucumber with scallion, three-silk shark's fin, abalone with raw shell, hibiscus chicken slices, mullet egg soup, etc. are too delicate, just high-end Shandong cuisine series, and cannot represent our Shandong people's daily diet.

So, how "hard" is it for Shandong people to eat? I believe that when you open the lid, you will know! Below, I will introduce several very representative Shandong "hard" dishes to you!

using "Zan" to hold "meat" is what we want to talk about today. It is a special snack in Jining, Shandong Province, and it is also considered by many people to be a delicacy that is difficult to be elegant. Often appear in the streets, night market stalls, a pot of pork belly, meatballs, dried beans, meatballs, bean sprouts, kelp, and so on.

"When 5 yuan is full, 1 yuan eats well", a bowl of rice is covered with broth, and then the cooked food is covered. Every bite is full of meat flavor. Pork belly is cooked crisp and rotten, and it melts in the mouth, which is very satisfying. The key is that the price is cheap and grounded!

its appearance is very similar to that of Beijing luzhu, which is delicious by cooking, but it is different from luzhu. Jining Bengrou dry rice eats meat, and other side dishes cooked together will have a strong meat flavor, which is a real hard dish in our big Shandong!

when you mention Qingdao, the food you think of must be seafood first. But today I want to solemnly recommend a hard dish-Liuting pig's trotters!

Liuting pig's trotters is a traditional dish in Qingdao. It is said that it has existed since the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 15 years.

It's different from the pig's trotters we eat on weekdays: the color is brown or dark brown, and the surface is bright; Although it is also cooked at a high temperature, the taste is not soft and rotten, and it melts in the mouth. On the contrary, it is chewy but can bite; Very tasty, fresh and fragrant, and the taste is not limited to the surface layer, all the way through to the bones, even the bones are very tasty; Although it tastes fragrant, it is not greasy and very refreshing.

It is not only a classic food in our local dining table, but also a very good appetizer, even as a snack for entertainment and leisure.

If you come to an authentic Qingdao restaurant for dinner, you must order this one, and you must also ask the boss for more trotters jelly. The pettitoes jelly of Liuting trotters is also a must! It tastes delicious, Q-bomb is smooth, and it tastes as if it were frozen.

Open the lid, and the steaming Spanish mackerel jiaozi is tumbling in the pot. Take a bite, the stuffing is fresh and tender, and the soup is full. Even if your mouth is scalded with blisters, you should enjoy this unique delicious food from the sea while it is hot.

Now when Spanish mackerel are on the market, fresh Spanish mackerel is chopped into stuffing, which tastes fresher, more tender, more beautiful and more delicious, and even has no fishy smell.

local people also like to mix some pork, especially pig fat, and mix the stuffing together, so that it tastes more fragrant and not firewood. When fresh leeks are planted in spring, you can also put a little bit of leeks, which is more delicious.

nowadays, the Spanish mackerel dumplings in weihai have become a major local industry, which are sold to various regions and even exported. Moreover, Weihai people have also applied for its heritage, and it has obviously become a food that Weihai people are proud of.

Sichuan people have Dongpo elbow in Sichuan cuisine, while Shandong people have sauce elbow in Shandong cuisine. There is no other feature, just fragrance! It's already drooling across the lid, so I hate to take a bite when I open the lid!

the sauce is rich in flavor, with soft skin and rotten meat, which melts in the mouth and smells delicious. When guests come, banquets, and festivals, there is no such sauce elbow, and they all feel that they are not well treated and cannot be seated. This is a veritable hard dish in the hearts of Shandong people! Bold!

rock sugar and soy sauce are the keys to this dish, and the flavor and color of the elbow sauce depend entirely on these two seasonings. Long-term simmering is a necessary condition for this dish, and the soft and rotten taste comes from it. With the warm soft steamed bread, it is simply better than the delicious food on earth!

Shandong people love to eat chicken, and it is well known that "nothing can be done without chicken". Zaozhuang spicy chicken, Linyi fried chicken, Dezhou braised chicken, braised chicken rice, and so on are some famous ways to eat, all of which are the favorites of Shandong people.

However, on holidays, or for entertaining friends and relatives, you still have to have a complete roast chicken. Buy it back and serve it directly, which is convenient to say and very delicious.

There are many ways to cook roast chicken, but our favorite is Daokou roast chicken in Liaocheng, Shandong. Its skin color is light red with slight yellow, and the chicken skin and chicken are completely intact and have not been damaged during cooking. As for the taste, it is even more delicious, salty and sweet, fresh and tender. When eating, just lift the chicken leg and shake it, and the chicken will be separated from the bone.

Daokou roast chicken is also known as the "four musts" because of its four characteristics of "color, fragrance, taste and rotten", and has become an out-and-out specialty food in Liaocheng, Shandong. Do you think it is "hard" to serve such a dish at the top of the table?

whether it's bengrou dry rice in Jining, Liuting pig's trotters in Qingdao, Bayujiaozi in Weihai, sauce elbow, or roast chicken at Daokou, ..... these are real "hard dishes" on the dining table of Shandong people.

Perhaps, after watching these dishes, many netizens will feel that they can't afford to eat because there are mines at home. However, they are really "hard dishes" on the dining table of Shandong people, and they are also the food business cards that we are proud of.

After the epidemic, you are welcome to visit Shandong and taste authentic Shandong cuisine. These distinctive Shandong "hard dishes" will definitely make you feel like a guest!
